Trump screws everyone but himself

So Iowans and all people should be forewarned. You are entrusting your precious support and vote for a man who has fraudulently represented himself as someone standing up for the little guy. In reality, he has only cared about the man whose name he emblazons on every item he could. His campaign is not about you -- it is about him. And he will screw you, as he always has done.

Trump is either a Democrat or left of center Republican - by his own admission. That is enough reason not to vote for him. He doesn’t need to be Hitler or Moussolini - he’s not a constitutional conservative and that’s all that matters to me.

Same here. It seems he went from talking about issues to obsessing about the polls, to insulting his fellow candidates. I guess that is how he’s been successful, winning at all costs.

I’m wondering if this will all get worse, or get better, after tonight...

Oh, pure tripe.
Do you know when a man or a politician will do what he says he will do?
When, faced by criticism, loss of popularity, attacks and ridicule he doesn’t change his position. When he doesn’t pivot, or try to clarify, or shift, or expand, when he just sticks to it.
That is why I believe Trump is sincere and what he says and why he will try to accomplish what he says. And why I’ll vote for him.

Weirdly enough, I also have respect for Bush for the same reason, he is unabashedly for open borders, will stick to that position no matter what, and I trust he will act that way as president, and that’s the reason I won’t vote for him, but have a lot more respect for him than Rubio, of whom I have no idea where he stand or what he would do despite what he says.

Every 15 minutes of butt hurt. It’s going to be epic by the end of the day.

Its amazing to watch as one by one every, here to fore considered worthwhile conservative publication, writer or public figure is deemed a turncoat, by those so caught up in the super promoted hysterical Trump parade.

Have all those conservatives so changed and are suddenly wishing for bad things to come to America? Or instead are those that now bash on Trump’s behalf never actually holder’s of true conservative principles to begin with?

Given that Trump has been all over the map on most major issues, what is it that makes you believe he really, really means it this time?

Yeah, I guess it’s better to be the one buying politicians instead of being bought. No wonder the GOP is going to be ok with him as candidate, think of all the PERKS!

For me, I vote thinking about what matters most in regards to my eternal inheritance. A bowl of stew now, or hearing that what I have done glorifies the King of kings and Lord of lords?

I see the same pattern, except he went beyond what I would consider “insulting” his fellow candidates.

I often wonder what would have happened to his candidacy if Kate Steinle had not been murdered shortly after the uproar over illegal immigration. It made Trump look like a visionary and his concern over immigration and his solution being legitimate and not misplace.

That was a pivotal point in his campaign that gave him immense credibility and led to the large crowds. Right now, and least for me, he has squandered much of that credibility by attacking anyone and everyone that disagrees with him.

Imagine him saying Michelle Malkin was “born stupid.” How childish and so off the mark when it comes to Michelle. She was “conservative” when conservative “wasn’t cool.”

Read where “It’s what the people want.”

Two illustrations came to mind.

1. People of Israel wanted a KING! Some know how that turned out.

2. “Give us Barabas!!!” Some know how that turned out. This was in God’s plan of salvation.

Just wondering what will be the consequences of “What the people want.” This time.

I hope and pray that he (Trump) will act Presidential and not as the NY Time’s Twitter List has shown.

God works in mysterious ways. I really hope He gives the world one last total revival before He unleashes His wrath but I think the 2 prophets, Moses and Elijah, who are here during the Great Trib will cover that.

Right from the top you jumped the shark.

Any objective observer.... you consider a Trump supporter an objective observer? Come on now, really?

Trump has not changed, but he has become slicker and better financed.

I know we all thought he suddenly became inspired by the quandary America finds herself in and just had to step in the lurch. Did you know he ran for POTUS in 2000?

Did you know that he has a long history of nastily and personally attacking anyone who dares go against his plans. Take the Scots where he wanted to grab their property for his new seaside Scottish golf course. As soon as they balked, saying they liked where they lived and did not care to sell out. Suddenly Trump began saying how dumb they were and how they lived like pigs (sounds familiar?)and trying to get eminent domain to kick them off. This list of Trump examples can go on and on.

My objection to Trump is his history of buying politicians to work his plans and his too cozy relationships with liberals like Peelouis, Reid, Schumer. Isn’t ‘the art of the deal’ what got us in this mess?

Trump does have the best catch phrases, pokes in the eye of the government and getting away with the anger bully things lots of people know they can’t get away with, but see Trump getting away with it all ‘on their behalf’. No thanks.

See post 34

Nothing else matters. Really??? Seriously???

That reasoning is sounding awfully like America hating anarchy promoting libertarians.
