We have chupacabras in TX. Luckily, our Senator Cruzachabra is in Hollywood, FL sucking up to the old goats at the RNC.
How strong will Cruz or Kasich be against Hillary if the perception (accurate in my view) is that they stole the nomination from the man with the most support using a crooked insider process?
You have to know that a contested convention will weaken the party. Since Trump is now the only candidate who can win on the first ballot the sensible thing to do is unite behind the frontrunner. Because no matter what pie in the sky polls say about Trump, the product of a nasty convention fight chances of winning are absolute zero.
Again, I have already conceded that Trump's rhetoric satisfies the primary political issues of many posters here. But my primary issue happens to be limited government. And on that issue, Trump comes up short.
Oh sure, I am intrigued by his calls for auctioning off federal lands and such to satisfy the debt. Yet such statements reveal an ignorance of supply, demand, and the structuring of the debt, so much so that they cannot be taken seriously.
But the underlying theme of all of Trump's rhetoric is the utilization of an even stronger federal government, which of course is the antithesis of my Conservative political viewpoint. I don't need my government to re-negotiate a trade deal with China. I need my government to get the hell out of the way and leave it up to me to decide whether I want to by Chinese goods or not. I don't need my government to begin some 20-year public works project on the Mexican border that will never be completed. I need my government to enforce existing immigration laws and to stop giving free stuff to people here illegally, including education, health care, and the right to work.
imo, the most serious threat this country faces today is its runaway national debt. Over the last eight years, for every dollar raised through taxes, the government printed up another 46 cents. Not borrowed, but printed up. We are being robbed blind through this monetary policy - so much so that for the first time in US history, the next generation will have a lower standard of living than the current one.
These are the issues that I would like to see Donald Trump address. Instead, I hear about embarking on the largest public works project in US history.
Sure it does! If all you tell someone going for a flu shot is "you're going to get stabbed," it's technically true, but leaves out so much pertinent information such as stabbed with what, where and how deeply, and to what end, that it constitutes a "lie by omission."
That is precisely the nature of your claim about Trump's immigration policy. You neglect to mention the only ones who get back in are for "cause," that those let back in can NEVER get full voting citizenship. Furthermore, you neglect to mention Trump is the only candidate who has voiced the willingness to exercise the presidential prerogative to stop immigration cold for members of enemy religious groups as well as enemy nations.
In short, your statement is not so much "information" as it is "smear."
You’ve failed to read the boss’ posts, I see. That is NOT what this thread is about.
You have GOT to be kidding! That statement is as asinine as saying the Pope doesn't know the Bible.
You may not like his take on the Bible, you might not agree with his conclusions, you might resent his views on authority, but claiming he is "ignorant" of the subject only leads one to ponder the question of what he knows that you don't.
You neglect to mention the only ones who get back in are for "cause," that those let back in can NEVER get full voting citizenship.
They don't have it now. No change there. Just a free ride home and an open invitation to be expedited back in, except now they will be legal instead of illegal.
Take care of the beam in your won eye, before harassing a new sign-up, because he posts the truth.
You are correct and that other poster is just a nasty, blinded by her biases, Cruz CULTIST.
same here.
I thought I explained that quite reasonably. What am I supposed to say to someone who asks me to "open the door" after I've already opened the door?
They don't have it now. No change there. Just a free ride home and an open invitation to be expedited back in, except now they will be legal instead of illegal.
Sure it is. Now it IS possible for them to become voters. That's one hell of a difference.
Furthermore, their access to government services becomes a moot point as those let back in will NOT be as burdens on the taxpayers.
You aren’t a “realist” at at all; rather, you and overtly emotional hysteric, who basing your opinion on your own “feelings” ( how lefty of you, pet )and your own biases. Facts are completely useless to you, as is reality.
Thank you, Monkapotamus. I love that pic.
Yes...it does seem that way even though they actually can’t...it’s just the freedom to share now is limited as it’ll be like a rallying/cheer leading site for Trump supporters rather than a political discussion site during this election........ I soooo miss it when it was like we knew it to be....now there’s hardly any news unless it’s preceded by Trump. I’m quite excited to be voting for Cruz next week....this is one election where going there will be far more than just an honor and privilege.....it will matter.
I do know in Pa Trump isn’t doing much of anything with delegates as far as an outreach goes...and the activists etc. working for him are complaining the campaign isn’t giving them anything to work with let alone communicate.
But I figured it would be so when Trump was a NO SHOW at the main rally event here in PA.....
Trump is NOT a DEM; but YOU are blind to reality and to Jim’s words.
...”the “Can’t Winners” have been fully qualified”...
I don’t recall either of them saying they were stepping down so until then, or Trump looses reaching the magic number, I’m all for Cruz! Race On!
And your questions are suppose to be significant to me because????
I believe that the GOP-e is || close to the losing end of a hostile takeover and it is making them squeal. I am enjoying their discomfort greatly. All Trump needs now is a little more momentum and he’s headed to landslide territory, also known as a ‘mandate’. He will crush Hillary, and I will be gleeful to see it. The GOP-e has far less power than you give them credit for. Trump is more pragmatic than you give him credit for. I also do not think GOP-e will be working against Trump for much longer. The Train has left the station.
Vote Trump.
