It’s OK to call Trump and his followers all kinds of names though.
Trump may not be the nominee but he’s tapped into a hugely motivated and angry voter base.
If the GOP can bear to tear itself away from their corporate lobbyists for a few minutes, they would see it too.
This whole exercise is merely showing how far government has moved away from serving it’s constituents. The people paying the taxes.
They’ve become nothing but panderers.
That was an excellent statement by Trump on that link
Mistake I meant the link ENLIGHTENED posted
IMHO Trump or any candidate for that matter can only improve his odds by trashing McCain.
Ole Johnny McMee’s facebook page is getting lit up pretty good too. :)
Links and everything to stories on all his two faced, crooked and Illegal dealings.

Wow...
Trump supporters really are weak-minded, arne’t they? Do you really lose sleep at night because you got called Crazies by that senile Senator from AZ?
You get your pants all in a wad for being called names...and yet, many of the paid Trump supporters on this site SAVAGED Cruz and his supporters in earlier posts.
Exactly where in my post did I “savage” Senator Cruz?
Oh, I see, you simply had to get a dig in for the sake of your ego.
Now who’s weak minded, newbie.
Mccain was on his favorite network. The political cocktail party MSNBC this am.
He was classic McCain. Said nothing. Promised nothing. Demanded everything.
The talking head class in the media still do not get it. Luntz was on again spewing his Rove Jr. paid for propaganda.
LOL...
Newbie, man, you Trumpers are obsessed with that word.
I didn’t say you, genius, I said Trump supporters. You can read, right?
“...and yet, many of the paid Trump supporters on this site SAVAGED Cruz and his supporters in earlier posts.”
That is a lie and bullsh*t. Show us those alleged earlier posts. Make a large sampling of those comments and post them here for us to see. Put your money where your mouth is. And the word “paid” before the Trump supporters on this site, is laughable. I’m a big Trump supporter, and I’m on a fixed income not great in size. No money is coming my way for my support, I can assure you. So what you say is a crock and baloney.
LOL...
Flag lady...first of all, it is interesting that you are on a Conservative site and supporting a Liberal. But, oh well...
Do your own homework. Go back to posts when Cruz supported TPA, etc...you will see the Trumpers out in force. Ugly, hateful and mean...much like Paulies.
So, no, it is no crock...and until you can prove otherwise, please don’t try to justify the whining of the Trumpers.
“Flag lady...first of all, it is interesting that you are on a Conservative site and supporting a Liberal. But, oh well...”
I’ve been on this site for 17 years. I see you’ve been on this site for 1 year. Trump is not a liberal anymore if he even truly was one, and he no longer has to protect his business empire from politicians and can speak his mind, and that he is doing in spades. Trump unleashed. And what he is saying is exactly what this website and conservatives in general have been hoping someone would do out loud, for years.
Trump is a populist conservative, if I were to give it a name, and he speaks for Main Street, not K Street and Wall Street. And he is a Nationalist. Trump is a doer and a fighter and a patriot who sticks up for our country. And he doesn’t back down and fold like a cheap suit when attacked. I like that, and I side with Trump bigtime.
A Populist Conservative...
Kinda of like Huckabee?
“A Populist Conservative...
Kinda of like Huckabee?”
No, Huckabee is a social conservative. I’d say most Freepers are populist conservatives that side with Main Street over K Street and Wall Street. Maybe you aren’t for that and are an elitist. What are you?
I love these false choices presented by you, like if we don’t like what McCain said, then we’re losing sleep over it. We are in a political war. According to you we need to keep our mouths shut about political attacks to our beliefs, or else we’re weak minded people who are losing sleep. Your RINO ‘strategy’ of not defending yourself has already been discredited. Or perhaps you’re a Marxist/Democrat trying to convince the enemy to disarm in the middle of a battle?
Are we supposed to admire you because you’re not a fighter?
I’ll tell you what. You can continue to take the ‘high road’. Don’t actually defend your positions directly. Instead, stick to your passive-aggressive attacks. You’re a loser and you like being a loser.

Bravo, bravo, well said. I couldn’t have said it better myself, and I didn’t, lol. You did.
I have not made up my mind yet who I will support. But I will tell you that it is peoples like you that are turning me off to Cruz. I do not mind Donald Trump having an open discussion with the American people about reality. We the people are government, regardless of what the political class and their gods decree.
Ronald Reagan is the last politician that did not let the control freaks control his words. NO I am not comparing Donald Trump to Ronald Reagan... What I am saying, because Donald Trump is not selling himself out to the highest bidder he is free to speak freely. I am refreshed by 'freedom'. I am bored and drained by the communist based 'social justice' society.
