And yet you cant dispute them. that’s funny. Talking points are truth and that’s something Trump Supporters don’t like to hear. But he will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. YAY...Trump is great. Oh please lord Trump, please fart so we may praise it.

The Cruz thugs have arrived.

No positive posts for Trump are allowed on their bored. We have seen your talking points 1000 times and you are the only pure Conservatives on the planet, we get it.

This is an explanation of why he is winning and not an invitation to lay down your talking points.

Now get lost.

It seems that every individual has their own definition of “conservative”. To one, it’s religion, to another, it’s disagreeing with democrats, and everything in between.

If you’re car is in a ditch, you call a wrecker service. You’re not concerned if the car has a crucifix hanging from the rear view mirror, you just want the car out of the ditch.

If you’re dying with cancer and the guy with the cure is not an avid church goer, you go for the cure first, and try to convert him later. Then you go to church to thank God for sending you this wonderful physician.

We have a gigantic job to do - rescue America from the giant Obama abyss. If you are devoutly religious, you already have a leader to show you to the promised land, his name is Jesus.

Meanwhile, we have to live, and survive in the materialistic world where evil has acquired a foothold. A lot of dirty tricks have been pulled on us and we need a strong hand to return us to the freedom to worship as we please, and keep our family and fortune safe.

Trump is no saint, but he’s not a Muslim either. He’s the strong hand we need to give government back to the people. He stands strong for America. He’s rich beyond conception for most of us, so he would be taking a huge pay cut being president. Why else would a man want to leave his palatial home for the White House, and give up his plane for the likes of Air Force One?

God is not doing Donald Trump a favor by making him president, God is doing us a favor by sending us the leader we need to overcome tyranny, and to make possible the return to one natio, under God.

The bash trump posts will continue, ad nauseaum, but only by those who have their own horse in the race. I, for one, want the corruption, graft, and tyranny to end. I’d like to be able to take an evening stroll without being mugged, or killed.

Trump has become of note due to his role as lie-puncturer.

Trump has no patience for the idea that we can’t protect America, that we have to have a ghastly inefficient healthcare system, that we have to keep embracing a plethora of negatives that we have been embracing.

Cruz is the more traditional “Christian values” fellow. However sometimes he gets a bit shallow about it. He’d rather look good than do good, sometimes (and doing good, as Jesus displayed, can sometimes make you look pretty bad).

Neither of these people are perfect. However if one had to measure each candidate against the resources that God has given him, totally IMHO it would look like Trump is being more effective.

“Cruzbots would love to control the conservative narrative. Unfortunately, they don’t. Trump taught you a lesson that you are even now unwilling to learn. Want to own the word conservative? Look directly into the camera and say things like, “No more Muslims.” People will start paying attention because they know you aren’t playing the game anymore. It’s clobberin’ time.”

_____________

Exactly, and it’s very telling what conservative issues were important to the candidates at the time they announced their run.

Take Terrorism, for instance...

What did Cruz say?

Cruz March 2015
Imagine a president who says “We will stand up and defeat radical Islamic terrorism...” “... and we will call it by its name.”
THAT’s it!
But he mentioned CUBA FIVE TIMES! “torture in Cuba, growing up in Cuba, he flees Cuba, free Cuba from the dictator, Cuba was not at a peaceful time.”

RUBIO April 2015.....yes,we will pay salary to him and Cruz for a year while they campaign!
NOTHING, not a word, but he mentioned CUBA twice! “Cuban exiles” and “poor families in Cuba” http://time.com/3820475/transcript-read-full-text-of-sen-marco-rubios-campaign-launch/
TRUMP June, 2015
Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. They’ve become rich.
They just built a hotel in Syria. Can you believe this? They built a hotel. When I have to build a hotel, I pay interest. They don’t have to pay interest, because they took the oil that, when we left Iraq, I said we should’ve taken.
So now ISIS has the oil, and what they don’t have, Iran has. And in 19 — and I will tell you this, and I said it very strongly, years ago, I said — and I love the military, and I want to have the strongest military that we’ve ever had, and we need it more now than ever. But I said, “Don’t hit Iraq,” because you’re going to totally destabilize the Middle East. Iran is going to take over the Middle East, Iran and somebody else will get the oil, and it turned out that Iran is now taking over Iraq. Think of it. Iran is taking over Iraq, and they’re taking it over big league.
We get Bergdahl, they get five killer terrorists that everybody wanted over there. We get Bergdahl. We get a traitor.
Nobody would be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump. Nobody. I will find — within our military, I will find the General Patton or I will find General MacArthur, I will find the right guy. I will find the guy that’s going to take that military and make it really work. Nobody, nobody will be pushing us around.

I’d chide you slightly on your reference to charity.

What has passed for charity in a state-dominated culture isn’t. It really is a golden shackle.

Actual charity as given and received for the sake of God isn’t enslavement at all — it is empowerment to pursue the purposes of God, which are always blessed in the end whatever trials they encounter on the way. People have mistaken being humbled for losing their freedom, and it is not so.

Trump has played this well.
His self funding on the front end is merely “loaning” his campaign money.
After being nominated or elected he will hold fundraiser and events to retire his campaign debt.
Nothing wrong with this, and I like Trump.
If he loses, no one will care who donates to pay off his debt. If he wins, no one will pay attention to it.
It will go something like this:
“In the news today, Iran attacked Syria. President Trump, attending a “private fundraising event” in Manhattan, could not be reached for comment.”
The beauty of his plan is that no one right now knows who those donors will be, but they will be there.

Hopefully, it will be donors that meet Trump supporters high scrutiny of who donates to campaigns.

You simply refuse to listen. Ergo you will never learn. It’s the courage to say the things that are hard to say. Get it? When did Cruz EVER say anything so politically incorrect? I have your answer ready for ya. . NEVER.

Actually, bray, I’d say he is kind of Balaam’s donkey.
Kicking some liars’ rears.

The truth has to come from another source, and through We The People. We see that in how he is compiling an agenda.

Very true, Balaam’s donkey was the only one who could see the Angel with the sword. Well said.

My byline did not mention or invoke religion, it’s only saying when you owe someone, you are obligated to them. Sorry you missed the point.

Well that isn’t the terms of charity.

The giver of charity only wants to see the favor paid forward, that is, back to the God who gave it.

What you have decried, is the terms of things that masquerade as charity.

So I got the point quite well; you missed it.
