O Dawg...I will find it for you. During the last debates, he said that we were uncompassionate...he got hammered for it.

[ex-snook]

"Intellectual? We need a real leader."

Ya mean just like 2 term Bush with a Cheney appointing his cabinet and telling him what to do? Nah. This is no climate for a 'leader' who leads us up the creek. There is no substitute for brains.

[Lumper20]

Trump is a leader. He has built a fortune on solid leadership principles and he knows how to formulate administrative policy and how to meet goals and objectives. He also effectively uses strategy and tactics. He knows how to negotiate and he hires people who are motivated and qualified.

[South40]

Your is flawed in my opinion.

So you would agree that those names I mentioned (all good business minds) would make good presidents? Because that seems to be the only/main criteria on which you are basing your assessment on Trump.

btw...I saw his announcement. The man should spend some of his billions and hire a speech writer. It was a joke.

[Lumper20]

You mentioned a few real whack jobs. Buffet has taken a hard left since 1970. Your idea of a real businessman is not mine.

[South40]

A little more on your hero and who this "conservative" has given his money to:

11/8/2010- $2,700-Democratic Party of Delaware
10/21/2010 -$2,400- Anthony Weiner (D)
9/20/2010- $10,000 – Democratic Committee of New York City
2/18/2010 – $2,000- Anthony Weiner (D)
4/7/2010 -$1,000 Charles Schumer (D)
3/26/2009- $2,400 – Harry Reid (D)
8/11/2009 -$2,000 – Bill Nelson (D) 5/20/2009 – $2,000 -Charles Schumer (D)

Out of his 31 donations 21 of them went to very liberal Democrats or Democratic Committees, 7 went to Republicans, 2 went to Independents (both of those to Charlie Crist).

I’ve already been sent the link. I can overlook the debate remark, but, I think he is pretty much over for what he said during that interview. That can not be overlooked.

[Lumper20]

Hero? He is not my hero. The heroes I knew died for this country.

[TNMOUTH]

What interview, Odawg? I missed it, sorry.

See post #38 for link.

I have memory lapses everyday, what did I come to the utility room for? etc. but I still remember that Rick Perry has hired the two nephews of Haley Barbour, Henry and Austin that engaged in, at best, unethical practices in the Republican Senatorial primary runoff in 2014. I have no use for either of them and anyone who hires them for a political campaign becomes ethically suspect.

[Lumper20]

Liars, slanderers, or someone who just looks for a specific point to reflect their bias come up with crap like 26K or the partial truth you posted about donations by Trump. An objective person would search political contributions since 2012 or whatever date? Here is the truth, not; your bias.

Here is a thread in which you might want to partake and defend your boy. He's clearly not the pro Second Amendment candidate he pretended to be yesterday, is he? Maybe he can clarify his position. Does he really want to ban guns based on cosmetic appearances like Dianne Feinstein does? Does he really believe longer waiting periods will keep guns out of the hands of criminals?

What an F'n moron.

[Lumper20]

I do not converse with those who provide half-ass INFO like your Trump political donations BS. The end.

[South40]

lol! I'll take that for what it obviously was, your inability to defend your loser candidate's anti gun positions.

Have a nice day.
