I will agree that the original post was done in a snarky way. That being said, he laid out facts. Trump is and has always been Establishment Democrat. I know it hurts to hear that and his fanatics will fight tooth and nail but a fact is a fact.

There are quotes to prove it.

Lindsey Graham is actually more conservative than Trump.

No one knows what Trump believes in, other than that Trump is a winner and if you disagree, you are a loser.

Anyone who thinks Trump can’t change on a dime and start spouting liberal rhetoric again or start supporting liberal policies, hasn’t been paying attention.

“Lindsey Graham is actually more conservative than Trump.”

This is quite true. Lindsey is a scum, but at the end of the day I would tust him more than I would any NYC liberal...especially one who has vehemently supported partial birth abortion.

I’m sorry, that’s just not one you get a mea culpa on, especially when you could be responsible for appointing SC justices.

Explain post #35. Make sure you don't say they were taken out of context since that's not allowed as an excuse for people who support Trump.

I like Cruz and will vote for him should he win the primaries, but tell me what has he accomplished with this time in the Senate. The big negatives that I see is that he likes TPA/TPP, H1B visas, and supported the Corker amendment. So far, all I have seen is his attempt to stop Obama care. I fully supported that, but nothing was accomplished.

My read on him is that he is a conservative on paper and talks a great game, but has accomplished nothing so far in the Senate. My take is that Trump is a successful businessman and master negotiator who is wiling to take on the establishment.

PS: I am not a Trump Fanatic, I kind of find the name a little patronizing. I am not brainwashed and do not drink Kool Aid. However, since you like to use names, maybe we can call you a Crazy Cruzer or one of Ted's unstables.

What’s stupid about it? He wrote direct quotes from a person who is an object of cult like adoration on this site and attributed them to someone not liked here to see the reaction to the statements. You caught the subterfuge others may not, but may be enlightened some about the hypocrisy of Trump supporters who give him a pass on things they would excoriate others for. I would say it was brilliant, and you calling him a liar and trying to dismiss the quotes proves the point
