I voted for Perot, but let me say there is at least one issue on which Perot is (much) different from Trump:
Perot ran a third-party challenge.
Trump is running for the GOP nomination.
“Sometimes a person is crazy like a fox, and other times they’re just crazy.”
****
And if they have billions, they’re just “eccentric” or perhaps trans-sane.
I’m not pledging to vote for him, but what he says is music to my ears. Plus, he pisses off all the right people. Sorry if you don’t like that.
This article is a dumb, you don’t really believe the Oprah thing do you?
LOL, I'm stealing that.
What’s scary is how many in this forum that Trump has bamboozled. I like to think that the vast majority of people on this forum are pretty well informed conservatives. If he has this many bamboozled here, how about the rest of the conservatives out there who don’t follow politics as closely but will be voting in the primaries?
“Those are not opinions. Those are facts. You have been fooled.”
What makes you think that I am not aware of what you just posted. You can attach importance to statements, and diminish importance of actions, to fashion whatever you choose to believe.
If guilt by mere statements is what you look for, please consider this quote, and its implications:
Were in active discussion on TPA, said McConnell, adding, Its an enormous grant of power, obviously, from a Republican Congress to a Democratic president, but thats how much we believe in trade as an important part of Americas economy.

Ted Cruz voted for this. That is not a statement on theory. That is action. These new trade bills will make the United States just a co-equal state among other states, its sovereignty overruled by a foreign cabal. Which is more serious, the statements you point out about Trump or the FACT of the vote (action) cast by Cruz that enables this monstrosity (TPA/TPP).
Yes and I have said that for years.
This is not about Cruz. You are a little obsessed fan boi....you can’t look at ideas, let alone issues, you are totally immersed in personality. I pity you.
Read 7 and learn. Cruz is not relevant to this conversation. And FTR, you don’t understand squat about the trade deal(s) either.
Well, "Jeb, Jr." did get 70 percent plus of the vote in TX on November 4, 2014. Maybe that doesn't mean a thing, or maybe it means we can't trust Republican primary voters.
STRAW argument, false choice:
Lemme explain some thing to you, typing real slow so you can follow along. For those of us who are trying to educate the ignorant on this forum, his pissing off the wrong people is what we like about him the best. That's good. But when you look at what the man stands for, he's also stood for all the wrong things, all the wrong people, and his philosophy over the years can be generously called incoherent at best.
You, on the other hand, see he pisses off the wrong people, and you jump into the kool aid and shut down your brain.
Jeb Junior has stated he’s more like Cruz than any of his Bush family......so I don’t think what you cited means a damned thing frankly.
This is not about Fund. It is about Trump. Fund is not running. He’s not asking for your vote or your money. What you should do, if you want to join the adult table, is disregard Fund’s opinion if you want, but pay attention to the FACTS that he presents.
C. Edmund Wright was referring to Bush. He said no one was fooled by Bush and I have seen people on FR already stating they will vote for that Democrat in an R jersey.
I’m NEVER going to vote for Bush or any other cheap labor importer.
(even if Hillary thanks me)
And no one who Pauline Kael knew voted for Nixon, either.
My guess is that Freepers or people who pretty much think like Freepers comprise less than 40 percent of registered Republicans nationwide.
irrelevant analogy.
And my point was about FR, not the rest of the electorate, and no, it’s nowhere near 40% nationwide, of Republicans, who think like FR. At least, not what I call the bitter ole pharisee Freeper universe.
So my point stands, because my point was only about FR, which is where YOU posted the warning about Jeb.
Bamboozled, or a more modern term, punked.
At least as far as his effect on FR goes, I'm thinking of Howard Beale.
The type of person who would open a window at the least suggestion to scream, "I'M MAD AS HELL, AND I WON'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!" is the perfect Trump supporter.
Bush could sweep the primaries, and most of FR would be sitting around totally stuned, muttering, "How'd this happen?? None of US voted for him...."
