He also was a former Democrat.
Well, I guess that settles it. Reagan and Trump are two peas in a pod. /sarc

Agreed!
You and every other Carson defender have lost sight of the fact that Carson is NOT QUALIFIED to be president. He should not even be in the race!
Levin is at least an actual conservative and not a NY Democrat running in the GOP primary.
Be nice if he would support one to the end instead of turning tail and voting in a Dem with an R velcroed on when it actually matters.
Your opinion matters not at all to me. I do not listen to or follow the dictates of the so called politicos, nor the T.V. and Radio personalities. I do my own research and evaluate my findings. No one influences me in any way. I think for myself and what I value highest might not be someone else’s first choice. It matters not to me. I do not care what others think and their childish name calling and silly insults only serve to support my low opinion of such people.
You have a lot of sterling points. Unfortunately, our culture of what you call hero worship is promulgated with the constant “star status” of certain individuals which creates that person’s cults. Individualism has been constantly trashed and pounded into submission for the past umpteen number of years in favor of go along to get along policy and P.C. brain washing which deprive people of their willingness and/or ability to stand alone against the crowd. What made our country great, her greatest attributes, are being relegated to the trash bin of history. I would rather have an imperfect leader with the right instincts on the MAJOR issues facing our nation, than a perfect snow white wishy washy follower who will just dig us deeper in the mire we now occupy.
I am dead set against the New World order and the United Nations Agenda 21,and The Law of the Sea Treaty, among other things. Ted Cruz’s foul up on two major votes and his support of TPP shows me he is less interested in our national Sovereignty than I would desire and in fact, insist upon. So I support Trump who is a seasoned fighter with the right instincts and tools while Cruz continues to learn and I hope, strengthens his loyalty to “The American Way.”
Reagan made up for his years as a Dem by constently spending more years advocating Conservative principles. These newbies like Trump have yet to prove Conservative bonafides.
Sorry not everyone can trust these newbies cause we have been burned too much by them see Rubio.
Levin’s simply recognizing that Trump is impetuous and immature. He suffers from a strange mix of egomaniacal Tourette’s syndrome. Trump’s not ready to lead. He’s Obama II.
I’ll gladly take imperfect over impossible perfection. But imperfect has limits. Cruz was TPA not TPP, but that was still a mistake. He should have never listened to Mitch and that was a mistake. Aside from that I’m generally good with the rest. A couple not happies but generally speaking.
I don’t think Trump hates America. I think he’s the next best thing IMO after Cruz given the choices now. But he has a liberal history I refuse to wish away. And he flat out said he was good with some form of socialized medicine which is a total dealbreaker. Socialized medicine damn near killed me less than a year ago with it’s doctor interference. So I am not supporting anyone that wants that kind of government intervention into my health or anyone elses.
And even yet Reagan still screwed things up from time to time. What got PEOPLE not to notice and to be warm and fuzzy about him, was his halo. That halo, however, didn’t supersede the reality.
Our source of trust, I venture to posit, should be elsewhere, namely God (and the God documented in the Judeo-Christian bible, not some impostor).
We have on our plate a set of imperfects. One thing Donald does seem to be possessed of is a learning curve.
I am terribly sorry to hear how Obamacare put a bitter difficulty in your path.
If we backed off and looked at the bigger picture, what would we see as having saved the day at the last minute. Any normal Christian would say, of course, God did. That doesn’t excuse the Obamacare or what the Obamacare did, but it shows that even abominations don’t always have the last say.
For what it’s worth, Donald seems to be backing off the idea. It isn’t that hard an idea to back off of, either. Obamacare gave it to America good and hard.
True that!
When Trump said I will never disappoint you immediately I doubted him. I support Cruz and know he’ll eventually disappoint me.
I think Trump said he was against Obamacare and if elected he would end it. I’m against socialized medicine too. It cost me dearly. Frankly, as i said, I think Cruz needs seasoning, and in an ideal world, Trump for president and Cruz veep. that’s a winning ticket for me.
You misunderstand. Obamacare nearly killed me. Dead. Because it screwed with once functional care. It has killed many to date in the exact same way. It does not matter who runs it or what name they give it.
Anyone that advocates any form of socialized medicine, in light of the record of socialized medicine throughout the world, is either a leftist that wants population reduction or unfit to lead a horse to water. Regardless of how good they are on anything else.
We have 320,000,000 potential victims of death panels, poor doctors, stymied doctors due to regulation, and thousands of other issues with socialized medicine. Anyone willing to push that is unfit. Period.
You should read up on his stance on socialized medicine. Obamacare by another name. The details vary, the end result does not.
I’ll take a look at it. Thanks.
What kind of person idolizes Trump?
Not a conservative.
How many pathological child molesters and pathological kleptomaniacs have been cured by Christian conversion?
Carson is a qualified doctor. He diagnosed his own problem as pathological anger. Science says it has no cure.>>>
i think my comments were to the effect of just not attacking carson on his conversion. and the answer is all of them have.
