The President is first and foremost supposed to be a diplomat. He is the face of the United States of America. I was proud to have Ronald W. Reagan as the face of America and I was sure as heck a lot more proud to have GWB be the face of American than the clown who replaced him.

Donald Trump is not diplomatic in any sense of the word. When I look through history and see how regal a leader George Washington was and how he commanded the respect of not only the American people, but the whole world, I weep that we have sunk so low that we are willing to put a megalomaniac, narcissistic demagogue into office and then re-elect him and then we are poised to replace him with someone who is just as much a megalomaniac, narcissistic demagogue, if not more.

Donald Trump does not have a conservative bone in his body. He is a self promoting windbag who will say anything to close a "deal" and he is poised to close the deal on America. But what is the "deal"? Build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it? Really? You actually believe that?

Make America Great again? How exactly? It is a nice sentiment, but can he do it?

Is he going to order companies to raise wages, banks to loan to questionable borrowers, manufacturers in foreign countries to move their facilities to the US?

Has he proposed any concrete ideas on how to "Make America Great Again"? Does he plan to shut down the Energy and Education Departments? Will he shut down NPR? Will he shut down Planned Parenthood?

Does he oppose Roe V Wade? Will he make overturning Roe v. Wade a litmus test for Judges?

My take is that he will be more than happy to go with the status quo.

A man who would contribute money to the election and re-election campaigns of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Bill and Hillary Clinton is not a conservative and has no intention of turning the country to the right.

You people are being fooled. You are buying the snake oil and what you don't realize is that not only does the snake oil do nothing good for you, it is poison.

But People will buy anything as long as it gives then HOPE!

HOPE, that is what Obama Promised. Trump promises THE WALL.

God Help America!

My suggestion is to read more detailed books on presidents.

All of that fluffy stuff you talk about is the stuff little kids read about.

People like Andrew Jackson or Truman, and many others were not like those robot presidents at Disney World.

“Make America Great again? How exactly? It is a nice sentiment, but can he do it?”

“Has he proposed any concrete ideas on how to “Make America Great Again”? “

Well put it to you this way, has Cruz given us a detailed plan as to how he is going to “restore the constitution”? O sire haven’t heard any, bit his supporters are telling me it’s as good as done....because reasons.

Presidents are supposed to LEAD. They are executives, not professional a$$ kissers.

You obviously prefer the a$$ kissers.

We can’t afford another mealy mouthed word parsing attorney to say one thing and do another. Those days are over, and your guy has proven himself to be exactly that: another damn politician that wraps himself in the word conservative and then blames everyone else when he votes the other way. TPA and Corker? How about sending money to McConnell while at the NSRC? How about his active support of Paul Ryan as speaker?

But given your incessant vitriol against Trump, the months ahead will be quite disappointing to you.

Very well said, and we don't know what he will do as he can't stay consistent on what he says....Ever changing. Like your getting a GRAB BAG full of his "whatevers".

What we do Know he loves the Democrats, and will make the deal for Single Payer Healthcare. He SAID IT...

Don't miss the Video in a post above. Very Funny and exact of the doublspeak of Trump

"maleducato"--poorly raised, ill-bred Donald J. Trump.

As an example of tactful, convincing diplomacy here in the FReeper community, let us look to the polished rhetorical skills of P-Marlowe, above.

“I weep that we have sunk so low that we are willing to put a megalomaniac, narcissistic demagogue into office and then re-elect him and then we are poised to replace him with someone who is just as much a megalomaniac, narcissistic demagogue, if not more.”

I think the times call for a leader, who is willing to fight until his last breath for our country - instead of the polite, girly men we are dished up by the Uniparty

We need a man who can visit rough justice when necessary to put our interests first.

We need a man who is offended by political correctness and political wimps.

We need a Patton.

We need a Grant.

We need a strong person who knows how to walk away from a bad deal.

All great leaders in history have had an over-developed ego.

At this time in history, we need a nationalist - even a moderate nationalist.

And we need someone who will beat the tar out of Hillary until the last vote is cast on November 4th - and who won’t stop the beating until every vote is counted and they declare him the winner by a huge margin - and still won’t stop the beating until she is without a political future and wearing prison orange.

I see only one such person in this race. It isn’t Cruz.
