"Why on earth was my comment removed and I was kicked off of FR?"

Sometimes it is for no good reason at all.

[E20erer]

Unnmm . Yes.

[JohnBovenmyer]

You are, alas, correct. The media repeated the meme too many times and W refused to defend pretty much anything political.

What can be fought, and yet no one is pointing out, is Trump saying "take their oil." How can that possibly be done without an occupying army? Beam it up, Trumpie? They aren't going to give it freely and its not possible to take it surgically. Sabotaging any attempt to take it would be easy. It should be much easier to hit Trump over this than his "Mexico will pay for the wall."

I don’t fault Cruz for Justice Roberts. Roberts likely was compromised (God knows how; closet case?) along the way.

Right. Bush took his eye off the ball when he shifted from going after the Taliban in Afghanistan to invading Iran for non-existent WMD's and a made-up Bush Doctrine, which had nothing to do with what our country is about.

I agree entirely. It has been a disaster.

Fox has been pushing Rubio for weeks. They likely really swooned over the Spanish back and forth.

Trump stood against the entire room and told America he would not be bought off by them and that will be remembered. He won at the end.

[Jim W N]

I don’t think so - that WILL happen AFTER Jesus comes and it all comes crashing down.

[Charles Henrickson]

his performance at the debate was embarrassing to our country. Never before has a liberal Republican presidential candidate known so little about so much.

Trump is the worst Republican candidate I have ever seen to get this far, in over 50 years of following politics closely.

[dfwgator]

If Trump was like that as a businessman, he wouldn’t have been as successful as he is.

I think he knows he is playing to an audience, and it’s gotten him pretty far. I mean, Donald Trump is the Republican Front-Runner? Think about that for a second. Imagine someone telling you a few years ago that would be the case.

I do think privately he is much different than what he is showing during the debates, but you cannot deny, that as caustic as he’s been, it’s worked.

Apparently your delusional fantasies are not shared by 60% of the people that watched the debate and think Trump won.

[FreeAtlanta]

Have you forgotten the wall that was put up between intelligence agencies by Clinton? That was the purpose of the horribly named Department of Homeland security.

[catfish1957]

Drudge was stacked at 60% for Trump 1/4 through the debate. Real scientific there huh bucko?

[wmfights]

Cruz won the debate. Gave best answers to all the questions. Has the best tax plan and explained it well. Gave the best closing answer.

Thank you!

I thought so to, but you really had to listen with Trump constantly trying to talk over him.

[WENDLE]

YESS !! Don’t vote for that liar and bully Cruz. He is not eligible because he is foreign born!!

[JohnBovenmyer]

Yep, Trump is not presidential. Trump is WWF fake.

[TigerClaws]

Trump is already positioning himself for the general election.

The attacks on him (tens of millions of dollars) are just helping out the DemonRats for the general.

[volunbeer]

And we should not go to war with Russia over Syria. Syria has been Russia’s client state since what the 1960s? They want to keep their Med port there.

We have Israel as our client state in the Mid East. It’s the way things are. It’s Realpolitik. It is folly to get in any deeper.

In my opinion, if it is still an issue come 2017..take our lumps and team up with Russia to eradicate ISIS and whatever Al Queda types are out there.

Wise advice.

[Toespi]

Ha! Trust me........Trump screws his subs first so there is no money left to sue him. That’s the truth.

[Vermont Lt]

I never saw that message. I am on a iPad, so who knows.
