And btw, did you wait until you were 67 or so to change from a liberal?

I'll let you know when I turn 67. Got a long way yet, and there's no guarentee that we won't all be in mohawks and road leathers riding the highways plundering and killing, all for a gallon on that precious gazzoline.

AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!!!!!!

Really. That former-democrat Ronald Reagan guy sure was a disappointment. :)


Reagan was a Democrat. He switched parties. In 1964 he became the champion of the conservative movement when he gave his “Time for Choosing” speech. It remains one of the greatest orations of all time. in subsequent years Reagan also campaigned for conservative candidates and did radio broadcasts forwarding the conservative cause. He was an early Rush Limbaugh, if you will. He also had a track record to go on as a governor.

Reagan was no imposter. He remained ideologically consistent for years. No one doubted where he stood on issues.

When has Trump pushed the conservative agenda? Even now he brings his conservatism, judgment and sincerity into doubt. His statements are made without forethought. Ban Muslims! Yea!!!! It has great appeal but even now he has no idea how to do that and yesterday said that before they can come in they have to be surveilled and have some papers. Huh? That is not a policy. That is making it up as you go along.

On Thursday he said one of his first actions as President would be to sign an executive order that mandates the death penalty for anyone who kills a cop. He got tremendous applause! Maybe he should read and understand the Constitution first, then make sweeping, unconstitutional pronouncements.

Reagan was well versed in conservatism and the Constitution. No one doubted it. It is not that I have my doubts about Trump, I flat out don’t believe him.

It's a reasonable position. However, we have Elitist Choice #1, Elitist Choice #2, Elitist Choice #3, Elitist Choice #4, Elitist Choice #5, Elitist Choice #6, Elitist Choice #7, Elitist Choice #8, Elitist Choice #9, Elitist Choice #10, Conservative Choice #1 With Low Probability Of Successful Election, and Dice Toss #1 With High Probability Of Successful Election.

Gotta go Dice Toss, who's initials just so happen to line up with Donald Trump.

First of all, stick your demands where the sun don’t shine. I will comunicate with whom I want, when I want. Trump used emminant domain to aquire private property in the nineties. You support who you want, we may not see things the same.

Donald Trump just called Ted Cruz a “maniac,” which puts him in league with John McCain (Cruz is a “wacko-bird) and Harry Reid (Cruz is a “schoolyard bully”).

Honestly, after twenty+ years of mediocre, gutless wimpy GOP candidates who will NOT take the fight to the Liberal candidate - even stands still and takes a beating without fighting back- why not try something entirely different?

Both Bush presidencies got into bed with the libs and grossly expanded the government.

Seriously, why not step out of the box and try something unprecedented? Trump cannot at all be more damaging to the cause than the Bush family, McCain, Tadd Cochran, Mitch McConnell and John Boehnor.

Either something different and good occurs, or we get more of the same old same old.

You are right you didn’t say it, exnavy did. I’m sorry about that.

My questions to you about post 35 should have been to exnavy.

No modern Democrat would ever have a slogan of Make America Great Again. No modern Democrat would tell the truth about how money men own politics on both sides and that the system doesn’t care about the individual.

Then of course no modern Republican would either which is why Trump is dominating the polls.

The political class is flat out arrogant and hostile to the very people it is supposed to represent and serve, and only one person in this race is saying what most know to be true. Doesn’t matter which establishment party politician wins they will wind up screwed.

GOP got the house, nothing changed... Got then Senste too nothing changed.. Now they want the White House? For what? Nothing will change other than the spin, functionally not a damned thing will differ.

The GOP wants to keep selling this country out on immigration because it’s what the payers want not the people.. Hell even with Islam they can’t put America first. Until they can better tell who is a threat and who isn’t not another damned one shoul be allowed in, this moratorium is common sense and not a damned one is willing to stand for it.

This article and those like it are idiotic. What is broken goes so far beyond the party narratives that it he fact crap like this gets printed shows just how broken the system is.

Show me one national democrat willing to even contemplate the notion Islam has a problem and then we can talk.

Trump represents the first time in decades money players won’t own the White House and that makes him a bigger threat than 100,000 terrorist willing to kill and die in our borders to both the parties and that is exactly why he’s where he is in the polls

“...something different..”

“Different” doesn’t equal “better.”

There is an unwilling to consider his past political affiliations, or his past and current policy positions. I see politically aware people, who possess the same knowledge that I do of whom Trump has supported, and they either are wearing blinders to avoid facing what they know is the truth, or they are not conservatives.

I do not trust Trump. He’s waved too many red flags.

WHAT damage can Trump do that is worse than Hillary or Obama or the GOP establishment who has fought the conservatives in the base far harder than they have ever attempted to fight the Dems?

What you posit is more of the same. Personally, I’ve had enough of that. It is only destroying this nation.
