Who are you recommending? Have you got someone in mind who has actually accomplished something and does not buckle under pressure from his/her donors? And also explain how they have done more for America then Trump has. For example, Trump has provided more then just tens of thousands of Americans with jobs, he has built real companies and real infrastructure. He has never been elected to public office, and yet he has made illegal immigration a front and center issue and even forced the GOP field to the right. Not to mention had the balls to speak truth to power. And then tell me what Trump has accomplished that furthers the liberal agenda. The truth is your only objection to Trump is that he said something years ago that didn’t suit your so called conservative sensibilities. And yet you have no problem with candidates with actual accomplishments that did and are furthering the liberal agenda. For example TPA/TPP and the corker bill. So please, by all means, continue to lecture me on hope-n-change.
My FRiend, please put no faith in any one candidate so much as the patriots and good people of the USA.
This primary is heady stuff. Trump is a real shock to the system. But he’s just one man who needs to be a quick study. He’s pleasantly surprised me for the most part so far. But we FReepers should keep ‘unplugged’ from any one personality. Each moment like this is an opportunity for all candidates, Trump included. He’s fast on his feet.
Exactly! The others are just all talk because we know as soon as they get to DC it’s over! It’s back to business as usual and that includes Cruz! I will not vote for any GOPe candidate except for Trump!
Didn’t you read my tag-line? Along with calling people haters another very common line Trump supporters will use when criticized is “Well tell me then who are YOU supporting?” This is so they can turn the attention away from the topic at hand and proceed to spout their own dislike of your chosen candidate.
I have already posted on the accomplishments of Ted Cruz. I could write another post about what he has done and some of the cases he argued before the SC and won that made a big difference. One of them was when GWB wanted the US to bow to the International Court of Justice (Medellin case). He represented, pro bono, veterans groups in the Salazar v. Buono case while in private practise. This was the case of the crosses honoring veterans in the Mojave Desert.
He has shown his support of the military time and again, most recently fighting for and winning the battle to award the purple heart to victims of the Fort Hood Massacre.
He defended the 10 Commandments monument in the Texas Capitol in Van Orden vs Perry and won.
He presented an amicus brief defending the 2nd amendment in The District of Columbia vs Heller.
This is one way to vet a candidate. I could post another mile-long post listing his accomplishments and conservative actions.
I have kept records on the candidates and have used them to compare and have chosen my candidate that way. My guy hasn’t always been 100% right IMO. But as many Freepers like to point out, none of the candidates are Jesus Christ. I ask myself, who has been the most conservative? Who has aligned with my beliefs most of the time? Who has the best record to support what they say? How consistent have they been in their statements, actions, beliefs? I have a lot of other questions I ask myself as well. Who they have called a name or yelled at has never been one of my criteria. Just saying.
