Trump changed huge, he was a dem, now he is repub. That is massive. But, not enough to garner my support.
Cruz is the best qualified at this time.
You do realize that it is possible to be the best qualified and the least effective at the same time. Right?
I’ve been a Conservative Republican all my voting life; and that’s a long time. Given the absolutely dire circumstances in which this nation now finds itself and my absolute disgust with both the mainstream Republicans and Democrats; I just might vote for Trump even if he were a Democrat if he was saying the exact same things and laying out the hard line policies that he is now. That’s saying a lot for me personally and I never thought I’d see the day that I would say that. I have exercised my voting rights since I became of voting age. Until Trump emerged on the scene; I was pretty much resigned to giving it up. After the last election and the Republican’s outright lies to get elected, I just didn’t see the point anymore. If Trump turns out to be a tempest in a teapot; how much worse is that than the Republican’s promise to fix everything if we’d just give them a majority? They could have been well on the way to doing that but they didn’t, they haven’t and it’s clear that they’re not going to. That’s because there’s not a true Conservative among them. They just want you to think they are. Republicans keep running out that tired old phrase “but he isn’t a Conservative!” Trump supporters know that. But Trump will never be a Liberal either because he’s made his fortune and conducted his businesses in a free nation with all its benefits. He’s for Americans doing the same thing and he’s not going to “go global” and make us a third world hellhole like Hillary or Sanders want to do. Republicans are signing our party’s own death warrant anyhow and, for the life of me, I haven’t been able to figure out why.
And then there’s this. Trump could have just as easily and probably more so, run as a Democrat and had a better than fair chance of winning. He didn’t because he knows that what Democrats want means the death of America as we know it. They wouldn’t have allowed him to run on the policies that he’s putting out there now. It sure makes me wonder why the Republicans won’t let him run on those policies either.
Donald Trump is a Big Government liberal.
But ALL of this is “old news” to many of his supporters who don't care and fervently cheer him on.
So I must conclude that they're Big Government advocates too.”
Yeah but big government ideas will work when Trump implements them
“The big problem is that we have no record on which to judge Trump on what he says Now...... He has never held political office, has never been a major contributor to pro-rights efforts, and has never used his power and influence to advance the debate on rights issues..........we have nothing but his statements .... which have changed over the years. That’s not all that reassuring.”
Most of your “nevers” are great big pluses for some of us.
And the past use of emminant domain for private property aquisition is, well, despicable.
Like it or not the country could not function without imminent domain and you know it. Can it be misused? Absolutely but so can any other government agency like the IRS for instance.
...[Ted Cruz] has also been ignored in the press.
Can you think of a reason why?
You must believe the CNN polls...
Oy. Vey. I saw this headline and I sure don’t know all the freepers here, but I knew this was you. And of course I was right. Get another hobby.
Not gonna argue wit you either. Support who you want, I’ll do the same. I do not support progressives, liberals, communists, etc.
Oh. And besides rolling my eyes at your futile attempt to convert freepers who prefer trump, I can also answer the point of your article.
I DONT CARE what letter is beside his name. D, R, doesn’t matter. You are missing the truth of DC if you think the establishment Rs are any different from the Ds except in a few words they say as cover. They are the same thing. It’s an oligarchy against the People.
I just want to fight a tyrannical government. It’s not 1984 and we aren’t trying to win the pennant for our team. We aren’t trying to pick a candidate who matches specs. WE ARE FIGHTING FOR THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC WE HAVE LOST. Is that so hard to understand? Only someone very rich, very courageous (ego needs to be Uuuuuuuge), and crazy about America COULD TRY. There is no one else like Trump. He is our only hope.
You're on the wrong website, attacking the wrong person about the wrong subject. Crawl back to your cankled master and tell her you failed, worm.
Good job in 210 Carry. Nice work.
I did not say that, I do not think that is a true statement. I do not have a problem with imminent domain, I have a problem with people abusing imminent domain. I believe Trump has done that.
FR as a "Trump Country" and formally endorses the Constitutionally ignorant autocrat.
The speaker of the House thinks it would be unconstitutional to exclude Muslims from the immigration process and you act as though Trump is the dunce?
No, I think you’ ve missed it. Trump is still for Trump. He should’ve stayed a democrat.
Thanks a LOT; you just made me choke on drool!
“you just made me choke on drool!”
Glad to help. I take it you have seen the pix of my modded version of “She who carries the burdens” then ;)
What could I do to prove to you that I’m a small-government conservative who still supports Trump in this election, honestly and intelligently? Or am I irrevocably a liar or a moron?
On top of that, is there anything that Trump could say or do that would assuage your hatred of him?
