Thanks. I know Cruz is good on it, too. I’ll try to post it later if I have time. Or someone else can.
Do we care about anyone else enough to look them up? Carson?
I just don’t understand you folks. You are capable of reading his tax plan just like anyone else, I assume. Yet, you’re troubled by him selling it with Dem talking points to increase cross party appeal. Why? Why do you need someone to blow verbal smoke up your behind? You can read the plan for yourself and know full well that it’s not a liberal plan, but you condemn it because someone didn’t use words you approve of to describe it.
That makes no sense to me. It’s like you guys are in some kind of box that you can’t think your way out of.
Even if Trump is a little flawed this country is so far twisted up with leftisms/RINO destructions if he becomes president its almost impossible not to improve it from what its become under the Kenyan.
How about intervention for republiCrat voters? http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015/12/17/gop_sells_america_down_the_river
Right.
Let me ask you a question (I like a lot of what you post): Suppose post war "conservatism"is dead. Killed by the Bushes, Karl Rove, the neocons, the "Christians", etc.
Are you prepared to go into coalition with patriotic Democrats who want to Make America Great Again, but who also want a bigger state with higher taxes, or do you prefer to watch it burn?
That's what the Cruz-Trump FR disagreement is all about. I agree it's being poorly carried on by many, but it really IS about fundamentals.
The Trump premise is that there are enough Americans left to save the country. Your stated premise is that, if there is not a conservative majority, the country isn't worth saving, so why not vote for Cruz?
I heard his plan awhile back. I’ll look at it again in the next few days. I was going by what I heard from, I think, the Red Eye Radio guys. They are not liberals.
What about tariffs? That was a legit criticism in your eyes or not?
Thank you for that Duchess47, the thing which stood out to me is that he understands that it’s not a right given to us by the government, but a God-given right which the Constitution, and oath-taking politicians, vow to protect. That makes me feel a lot better about Trump. Thanks for doing the research, I’m not too good at sifting the info right now, what with all the spin to dig through.
There is no defense by Trump's supporters.
All they can point to is "Trump says, Trump says"
Cruz "does".
If it wasn’t for Trump, Cruz would be sitting at the kid’s table...
Outstandingly colorful metaphor!
There are definite legitimate disagreements there for sure. However, I have to say that I think we can all agree that what we’ve been doing for decades doesn’t work and we should try something new. That, coupled with how offensive it is that every other country gets to protect their industries while we have to have ZERO protections for ourselves and lose all our jobs and manufacturing, means to me that we really should try something new.
Trump is the only one even talking about changing the status quo on trade, which has clearly given all of us the short end of the stick.
Where are any of YOUR guys tonight?
Here is what Trump is saying

�â¹DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON BUDGET DEAL
(New York, NY) December 17, 2015 â “If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.
The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?
The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people. It is time we imposed budget discipline by holding the line on spending, getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, and by taking on our debt. To do these things, we need a President who can lead the fight to hold Congress and the rest of government accountable. Together, we can Make America Great Again.” â Donald J. Trump
Dont think so--- since Cruz was elected to the senate he has been an outspoken voice of conservatism while the LSM/RAT/RINO axis of evils have excoriated him unfairly. Trump came along and picked up the baton from Ted-- although he will never admit it. I say this as a Trump supporter.

I’ll see what I can find.
The Hussein administration has cured me of delusions of thinking it would be better to watch it burn. I could never have predicted how bad things would get, but I sure found out. Your question-honestly, I would have to consider that more. I am a Christian, of the fundamentalist variety, pre-trib Rapture, all that, so the fiscal side of things doesn’t resonate with me as much as the social side, but they are now irrevocably entwined, so I need to think about that-but I can say that I don’t want to see the country burn yet, though God knows we have it coming now.
Baloney. My family and friends support Trump. One supports Huck. Go Trump.
In other words, he's a big fat lib. Figgers...
