I want a President who seeks the very best experts in all those specific and complex areas, to write his position papers. That’s what a Chief Executive should do.

For example, I really liked that Mr. Trump consulted with Jeff Sessions re: immigration; with Steve Forbes re: economy, etc.

If Justice Roberts is being openly blackmailed for a shady adoption, why doesn’t someone do an expose on it? Why does he get a pass?

If Justice Roberts is being blackmailed, wouldn’t that be a Federal Crime? Why isn’t Mark Levin exposing this?

If it is such common knowledge, why doesn’t someone expose that the highest member of the Supreme Court is a subject of blackmail and is making decisions against his true convictions in order to prevent knowledge of an illegal adoption.

And IF Justice Roberts participated in an illegal adoption, would he not need to be removed from his position?

Why is it just common knowledge and no one cares that the highest judge in the land is and will always be under blackmail because he supposedly broke an adoption law. If it is true, he should just step down. This is the corruption and political cover people are so tired of.

O’Reilly, Hannity and Kelly were not rich kids who knew the right people. Fox News’ three lead hosts are people who came from the middle class and worked their way up the ranks by their bootstraps.

even then, they’d never have forced the Imam in Chief on America. The media peddled Obama, both against Hillary AND McCain.

The media peddled McGovern and trashed Reagan and Goldwater.

They pushed Soviet propaganda in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. They pushed EU propaganda in the 90's and the 2000's. Now they push Muslim propaganda.

In my lifetime they have always been anti American and been controlled by foreign interests from around the world.

Trump didn’t write, or maybe even read his own policies. Remember in the CNBC debate when he contradicted what his web site said about Zuckerberg?

I can’t believe they led the town hall with Carson. Why would you want to put people to sleep at the beginning of your show?

..."If that happens,...."

You won't have to do that, Cruz is going to 'win' this.....he'll continue to Cruz along no matter what the polls say or the pundits say and especially currently Trump says......he simply has a goal to reach and is going to do just that!

Carson is in there because Trump wants him there....he needs the other Candidates to keep his ‘false lead’.....without them Ted would be surpassing Trump easily......

>>little Marco is going to be shoved down our throats by the Establishment. He is such a lightweight and has no chance

This is my sense as well. I think GOPe have decided Rubio’s The One. I can tell you this....Floridians have his number! If they succeed in selecting Rubio, yes, he will lose.

But the good news is, after we go through hell with the Marxists, out of the ashes will arise citizens who truly treasure their liberty. Perhaps the next generation will be more vigilant.

I hope it doesn’t come to that, but we shall see.

Trump relates to people from all walks of life. CEOs, taxi drivers, construction workers, delivery people, entrepreneurs, Trump is the epitome of self employed.

I’d be impressed if he was quoting those lines from memory. They weren’t exact, but very close. I can quote lots of lines from The Simpsons myself. Cruz is 5 years, 11 months older than me, so he’ll be the closest presidential candidate to my own age who I’ve voted for so far.

Did you see in the NBC poll that not only does Cruz slaughter Trump in a hypothetical 1-on-1 now, but even in their January poll before Cruz was ahead nationally, he killed Trump by 8 points 1-on-1?

I voted for one Democrat in my life.

It was such an odd feeling!
Here is what happened in Pennsylvania:

The Republican candidate for Governor was a liberal pro-choice puke.

The Democrat was a pro-life social conservative, maybe similar to a blue dog Democrat?

So, I decided to look beyond their label and vote based upon their stated positions.

This was many years ago. I can’t even remember who won! : )

I took a very short listen to Trump....after listening to Cruz Trump sounded like a wannabee candidate ... What an amazing contrast! No substance just blathering about ow wonderful he is...and that’s about as annoying as listening to Obama when he speaks and does likewise....

Rubio rattles off lots of facts, but offers very little in the way of deeper analysis or original solutions.

His ideas for helping with education that he was bragging about that he was working with Democrats on (Gang of 8 all over again?) were incredibly weak if not downright stupid. How exactly is he going to force businesses to count “life experience” the same as a college degree? No wonder none of his ideas got passed.

I’ve been down on Carson, as I’ve felt he wasn’t running a serious enough campaign, I didn’t get the sense that he was “in it to win it.” But I enjoyed listening to him tonight. I thought he presented himself well, and I liked pretty much all that he had to say. He’s not my choice, but I just wanted to say I thought he did well for this type of setting.
