It's the message, not the messenger: Why Trump leads
8/18/15 | me

Posted on 08/18/2015 8:00:46 AM PDT by spacejunkie2001

When Fox News, GOPe or any garden variety entity/person/party, goes after Trump, they are attacking the MESSAGE, not the messenger. We who like what Trump is saying (and I'm a Cruz girl)are under attack by all the voices out there that claim we shouldn't be listening to him. This includes Glenn Beck and his team. When they attack the messenger, they're really attacking the message and when they attack the message they're attacking us, those that believe in the message. This is why every single candidate that has attacked Trump has swirled down the drain. The harder they swing at him the worse it gets for THEM. Graham, Paul, Perry, Bush...sucking wind.

I know Trump has more liberal than conservative tendancies. I would bet most people that like Trump's message know the same thing. But we're dying for someone with balls to stand up and scream at the top of their lungs the things we think, feel and believe.

There's a scripture in the New Testament where men come and complain to Paul(?) that certain other men are claiming the name of Jesus and they're not followers. Paul puts the first group of men in their place by stating that whoever claims the name of Jesus is good by him, they're getting the news out!

This is the same concept: let Trump do our bidding by getting the word out. As conservatives, don't we ALL want the border fully protected? Let him help fight the fight for us.

Well if Palin gets in, I’m history Donald and going 100% for Palin.

Sorry Donald, that is where my true loyalty lies. But until and unless that comes true, I’m honestly and completely for Donald Trump.

He seems the only candidate who gets it.

The only one.

>>>I’ll be careful voting for a millionaire promoting H1-B visas, that takes away from American jobs<<<

Cruz is a Millionaire? (Well, I hope he is)
He wants to expand H1-B Visas.

If you meant The Donald, he wants to restrict H1-B Visas.

I love Palin too. A lot. But you don’t see the value in Cruz? He’s got all of what Palin has plus the constitutional cajones...no?

Savvy Businessman & Real Estate mogul, with actual accomplishments, teams up with savvy Constitionalist. Works for me.

Obama bows to Saudi princes and other foreign leaders, apologizing for America's greatness and exceptionalism. Obama has disgrased this nation and her history; Donald Trump loves America and we love this new Cheerleader who loves us....not the one pictured below making a fool of himself and his country.

Gimme a break on that ‘liberal tendancies’ crap - that’s a total dem talking point.

What put in well placed liberal talking points?

I’ll assume you’re not keeping up with things but Trump likes nationalized healthcare (thinks Canada’s program is great!), thinks planned parenthood is ultimately good and should still be gov’t subsidized. Donated to a plethora of liberal candidates.

The bottom line for me is, he’s not a Christian and therefore, will feel the Christian message is gibberish and will not honor the things I cherish (like marriage and life), when the rubber hits the road.

just like I said in the post, I am FOR Cruz. But I’m glad Trump is trumpeting something near and dear to my heart which is border security.

I also see him for what he is. You should too.

An honest choice I respect that..
even though I think it’s foolish..

especially when a Proven, Tested, Confirmed Conservative is Running.. i.e. Cruz..

Trump is NOT tested, proven, or confirmed as a conservative EVEN.. let alone Honest.. and loyal..

His past is what Barry Obama’s SHOULD HAVE BEEN but wasn’t..
Meaning real liberal leftist socialist competent..
He has PROVEN he is the kind of President America SHOULD NOT HAVE..

He does have good rhetoric tho... like Obama does...
Gets big crowds, like Obama did..
Boasts of magnificent things, like Obama did..

Obama reads his, Donald doesn’t have to read it..
Obama boasted conservative-ish things when RUNNING as well..

Don’t take a blood hound to “smell” something fishy..
Obama didn’t turn to the dark side, he was there from the beginning..
Trump appears to be a Jedi-Master.. in process of TURNING..

UNless; it’s Jedi mind control... ya think?..
Or still a democrat in Sheep’s clothing..
conning gullible republicans like Boehner, McConnell, Mclaim, the Maine girls ETC...

Oh! and {certain} freepers..

I wanted to post the same thing. The message without Donald Trump would not be heard.

Ted has never ‘flip flopped’ on conservative positions. He loves God and wants to restore our country to a Christian nation. He fights on behalf of those of us that love this country; I don’t really see any others doing that.

His positions on everything he’s discussed so far are the same as mine, including getting rid of the IRS, EPA, DOE,etc.

Do you not like him?

...“Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.”...

Conservatism is support of US Constitution, States Rights & limited government. That’s it.
