The dislike is a mile wide.

And an inch deep.

This poll will never be referred to again, as the change is going to be like a tsunami.

Every College kid in America got the same deferment.

The Smoking Gun through a Freedom of Information Act request, Trump received four student deferments between 1964 and 1968 while in college and an additional medical deferment after graduating.

We'll never know about the medical.

Of course, he COULD have volunteered.

Deferments aside, the point was he apparently couldn’t be honest about it.

Per the article you posted.

Lottery numbers ranged from 1 to 365 and were allotted according to birthdates. Trump’s number was a very high, 356.

Newly released documents suggest that a young Donald Trump received several deferments that could have allowed him to avoid service in Vietnam, contrasting claims he made this week that he missed the draft solely because he had a high lottery number.

Yeah, I don’t see any media bias in that second paragraph at all/s

I had such hope with Republicans in charge. What a disappointment.

The problem for me was that I recognized Bush as a big government big spending know-nothing from the get go.

About this time in 1999, I was trying desperately to get the Bush folks to please wake up and smell the stench.

They couldn’t grasp it. We had a nearly century point opportunity, and they as well as he blew it massively.

Today they are still in denial.

Today many of them are poised to do it all again.

You can’t expect folks to grasp truth. You can only present it.

Agreed.

Trump joins a long list of lying, corrupt megalomaniac politicians.

He's no better than any of the rest of them.

Au contraire, mon ami.

(A little French lingo there to show I bear no animosity towards our froggy brethren.)

I submit that Donald is better than any of the rest of them.

Based on Cringy's failure to promote conservative policies, ever, his support of Trump makes perfect sense.

Do tell. I don't know how many times I've wasted hundreds of perfectly good keystrokes trying to impart basic conservative principles and solutions to the guy/gal. Don't even know why s/he hangs his/her hat here.

CNN is a concern troll.

I think Cringy is more of a misguided romantic, wearing rose colored glasses. He flat refuses to process any data, logic, or reason you impart to him, which makes it pointless to engage him in any sort of debate.

So why do I do it? I guess I'm a glutton for punishment .. LOL

Well or else,

You could talk to the other fifteen candidates in the GOP and tell just one of them at a minimum, to start supporting American development, and our borders, once again.

Be for American development once again. Be for American jobs. And American growth.

It’s really not a difficult concept. So I totally don’t get why Trump, has the entire subject to himself.

But Trump has the entire subject, to himself.

So here I am,

Supporting Donald Trump.

Ted Cruz is for all those things and more. He's also one of the brightest, most intelligent, constitutionally grounded, and courageous patriots who's run for president in a generation (or more). If you need further convincing, read his bio. His level of achievement in public life is stellar.

Trump, on the other hand, is a show-boating, bloviating, flip-flopper, who's never held elective office in his life. So far, the man is all TALK. Let's see him win a Governorship or a Senate seat, then track his performance in that job, before handing him the top job in the land.
