The very best thing we can do is recognize that Trump is less than what we'd like in a candidate, so we should just sit this one out and NOT work our butts off to help him get elected.
This strategy worked very well for us when McCain was our candidate.
And again when Romney was the man.
Obama was not that bad as president. Hillary can't be much worse.
/sarcasm
WAKE THE HELL UP, PEOPLE!!
” Get involved in your local precincts, it really spreads and it helps with getting Trump/Pence into the White House... “
Best advice of all. Thank you for your service in this cause.
We need an army of poll watchers. Physically I cannot do that but I can do some of the other things you mention. All of us can help in some way or another.
It’s time to fight as if everything depends on this....since everything we have loved about this country does depend on it.
You're probably quite right about this. I think that is why Trump is not yet investing heavily in the media. If the dollars spent have four or ten times the impact in a month, then it makes sense to hold off some until the time is right.
If Wikileaks or other sources have more ammunition to use against Hillary we will want to have resources to make this information known to the public.
I just heard Epstein's name used on Fox. Bill Clinton and his wife will have a lot of explaining to do regarding any association with a child molester.
Yeah I got some stuff to do election day anyway.
Gonna watch a Sharknado marathon :)
Nothing short of death will keep me from voting. Not that death stops dems from voting.
Trump!!!
I am truly hoping that a vast amount of the banter going on here is for “entertainment value only.” I’d hide my head in bitter shame if this was truly “the best we can expect from America.”
You are CORRECT!! - I am 70 yrs. old and have lived through
enough “Clintons” to last me a lifetime! - I will walk
barefoot over rough gravel on Election Day and cast my vote
for: DONALD JOHN TRUMP & MIKE PENCE
TV and radio ads at this point are a total waste of money.
“Bernie” was not as much of a “socialist” as he thought.
Evidently, he got an airplane and a summer house worth
about $700,000.00 to “reconsider” and endorse Hitler-y.
Bernie is evidently a damned hypocrite.
Actually Bernie is the perfect Socialist.
Under Capitalism, the rich become powerful
Under Socialism, the powerful become rich
So Bernie is merely using his power to become rich.
> "Maybe the hope would be that the major candidates would also stop talking about more borrowing and spending too ---instead of "First of all, you never have to default because you print the money," and Trump: 'Now is the time to borrow'."
If you listened to his whole interview, you would have heard talk about public-private ventures implying that firms doing work for the federal infrastructure could borrow with near zero debt service.
You would have also heard that nearly every federal contractor comes in over budget often by billions and far behind schedule because they dont know how to build or they want to underperform. Whereas, Trumps projects come in ahead of schedule and under budget.
You would also have heard that in certain areas such as military and critical infrastructure, there is no other choice but to spend.
And he is correct saying the USA cannot default or declare bankruptcy just as any sovereign nation cannot do those things. There are only two options: raise taxes or print money (create electronically). Printing money can induce inflation which is a hidden form of taxation, hence both options are alike in shifting power to the federal government.
So as usual, Donald is telling the truth and is signaling that he will use all the tools at his disposal to MAGA. He will not allow himself to be tied to simpleton campaign slogans of he said this and he said that thereby allowing Megyn Vagina and the like blast away with months worth of distraction via the leftist media on how he broke his promises. Hes smarter than them.
Some relevant questions for the media morons are:
1. How will you ensure the currency is not damaged? Gold standard? Are there alternatives to a Gold Standard?
2. How will you and Congress reduce debt over the years?
3. How many years will it take you and Congress to balance the budget?
4. Is it desirable or necessary to balance the budget?
5. How will you get Congress motivated to balance the budget?
In the discussion, the question was raised as to what percentage of GDP would be comfortable for the level of debt. This is a turd packaged in candy wrapping marketed by media morons.
GDP, like CPI and other assorted maligned measures, are not the metrics to be used in gauging the progress of MAGA. They have been politicized and signify nothing but political catcalls.
More relevant metrics apply to measuring a reversal in the trade deficit, playing against Chinas currency manipulation, auditing the Fed and disclosing to Americans its duplicity in globalism; for example, transferring billions via Citibank to Mexicos Banamex (which Citibank owns) to build Ford plants in Veracruz, and the like.
The one takeaway, which can be verified via YouTube videos of old hearings of Donald before Congress, is that he is a master of business, banking, finance, trade, negotiation, and taxes. He is smart, damned smart. He plays to win.
This is not about borrowing or printing money. This about winning.
So then what are we to take away from Donald's apparent confusing turnarounds or his skating near the thin ice of the left's cesspool of socialist nonsense solutions?
What are we to believe?
First, take note that in Manhattan Donald drove the liberals there insane with his 'doublespeak'. Donald kept playing his version of gaslighting until the liberals there gave up and acknowledged that TRUMP HAD DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO SAY WHATEVER HE CHOSE TO SAY and without consequence. Donald became simply 'The Donald' to them because they could never figure him out. He had defeated them at their own game.
So what to do then? How are we to think? Are we to give up on 'The Donald'?
FORGET THE WORDS! LOOK AT THE RESULTS!
What were the results in Manhattan?
He got the permits! Donald was a great factor in transforming a decadent crime-ridden metropolis into a thriving tourist spot. AND ... he built in plain sight of the nation's most liberal population a great memorial that leaves tears in the eyes of its visitors:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3330070/posts?page=86#79
So it's not 'WORDS' nor even 'ACTIONS' that we should hold Donald to, it's 'RESULTS'.
He can say whatever the hell he wants to say and choose whatever action, but we can and we should hold him to the results. If he wants to kiss Prince Alwaleed's behind in the light of day and humiliate the United States in the process, go for it Donald! But you damn better bring home the spoils and make us 'feel proud' at the end of the day. There's nothing more awesome than to witness a chess player shock viewers and cause heart seizures in the process by sacrificing the Queen only to checkmate the opponent a few moves later (Bobby Fischer). Play smart Donald, look stupid and confusing if you must, but WIN DAMMIT WIN!
When our great generation fought WWII, we were the better poker players at the end. We bluffed, we sent fake and false messages, we staged forces as a diversion from what we were really after. We were not above no-good dirty rotten trickery when it came to winning. We played to win. That's the mold Donald Trump comes from.
So yes Donald, you can say whatever you want. But you damn better fight to preserve all of our Constitutional Rights including our FULL RAW 2nd Amendment Rights and our and our State's 10th Amendment Rights. And you damn better put us FIRST ALWAYS! These are the RESULTS we will hold you to. However you choose to get these results is your call, but get them you must!
Now take note of TRUE WISDOM in the following:
At the end of your life, people will remember you not by what you SAID nor by what you DID, but by how you made them FEEL.
For conservatives, it's all about 'feeling' proud to be an American, to preserve the greatness that is America, to feel blessed to be part of the greatest nation ever to exist in history, and to know that its universal unchanging values - our values are strong enough to continue well past our lifetimes.
So how does Donald intend to make us 'feel'?
He intends to INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE US, not about politics, but about what WE can do with OUR LIVES, specifically what YOU can do with YOUR LIFE. Here is Donald's real, genuine and true goal for us, FOR YOU!:
Yep!
The staggering dissonance between the reaction of the neocon/cuckservative “purists” to Willard Romney as the candidate versus Donald Trump as the candidate exposes them as the self-serving hypocrites they are.
Romney effectively provided the blueprint and platform for the design and passage (without even reading) of the (Un-)Affordable Healthcare Act - the communistic usurpation of one sixth of the national economy: as fundamental a rejection of conservative and Republican principles as one could imagine - yet we were told by the so-called purists to ignore that (and everything else about that sleazy phony - aptly named, since he is a rat) and vote for him anyway.
Now suddenly these treachers just cannot bring themselves to sully their pure devotion to conservative and Republican principles by voting for Trump.
Excuse me, I have to go: The bile rising in my throat requires immediate attention...
You might try this tactic in dealing with those of the Leftist persuasion on the job site or at PTA or family gatherings. Propose this conundrum to them-
“So Occupy was about debt slaver fascist financier oligarchs who keep the 3rd world as their personal debt farm, raw material supply and cash crop food producer while their people starve, right? These are also the crypto-Nazi “old boy” monopolist crony capitalists that control the GOP, right? These are the same parasite mafia globalist psychopaths that want Trump dead, right? So why the Sam Hell are good “progressives” such as yourself, supporters of the Occupy movement, enabling those same fascist oligarch monarchist exploiter basterds in their anti-Trump pogrom?! “Who the Hell are you, really!?
I’m right there with you at the ripe young age of 72...and I would do the same to vote for Donald J. Trump and Michael Pence!!!
I would crawl over the naked bodies of oiled up, fat lesbians, to vote for Trump. Its Trump or Death.
Did you forget Stabby the Clown Beck and his idiot friends?
I’ve been saying that for years. An excellent illustration in few words.
The problem with skimming a title is one may miss the last couple of words...
Since the immigration change.
Thank you for mentioning the Romney non voters. That was a huge mistake.
