Are you seriously saying that what a candidate did 4 years ago doesn’t matter? That you’ll support an extremist like Trump even when he has no conservative record, just bluster?

I’m living in the twilight zone here on Freerepublic. Everyone’s under the spell of the Pied Piper just because he throws lots of beautiful hissy fits.

Yeah, we’re all smoking trump crack. Get off your high horse and realize that there are the pragmatists, and the starry-eyed visionaries. We need to get our foot in the door. and Trump’s the guy to do it. Cruz will make a brilliant VP, while paving his way to the presidency.

I’m saying that 4 year old articles belong in chat. You can take from that what you will.

That said, I’m also enjoying watching the collective butthurt of TDS sufferers. Even if I have zero intention of voting for Trump or indeed any other candidate on the ballot.

It’s jaw dropping isn’t it?

In Sept. 2016 it will be 4 years since Benghazi. Hillary will be in the clear as it will be old news.

You can’t reason a person out of a position that they didn’t reason themselves into. A great many Americans seem to pick their candidates not by weighing the pros & cons, looking into past statements, voting & legislation history etc. They choose someone emotionally. Someone who says all the right things and can persuade them to trust them. In other words, if you are a great manipulator and know how to get people to believe you, you can sway a large number of people to support you. A smooth talker. Sort of like a used car salesman:)

This becomes almost like a cult to these people. To accept facts would make them have to change their beliefs. It is very hard to get people to do that when they have invested themselves into someone emotionally. They don’t think clearly and they only get mad at you when you point these things out to them. They will never change their minds.

Barack Obama was very good at doing this and still people will defend him to the end and refuse to believe one bad thing about him. They have too much of themselves invested in him.
