"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton |

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnât make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

Trump “wins” when he destroys conservatism, backstrack on everything but the universal healthcare and planned parenthood, and switches back to being a democrat.

If he is such an idiot how is it that he has not lost everything for good and now hopelessly in debt? I don’t get it Vern?

I think that the story put him in a positive light. He didn’t fire her or berate her. He supported her and mentored her.
He knows when to rip someone apart and when to take a gentler approach.
That’s the mark of a good leader.

You win. I give up. I cannot take the heat any more. You have persuaded me that I can no longer support Trump.
GO BERNIE! That's the way you do it. Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free.
To: SoConPubbie
Over these last 40 lime-lighted years, Trump has won a lot, but he has lost a lot, too-four corporate bankruptcies, two failed marriages and a vast array of money-squandering business ventures. He lost his signature Trump Shuttle airline to his lenders. His self-branded casinos in Atlantic City struggled consistently to turn profits. In each case, though, he has heeded a form of the advice he gave that day to Sprague: Never acknowledge failure. Never admit defeat.People who I know that are successful and harvest no envy refer to that kind of man as a champion winner.
Those who cannot compete ridicule and on the other side of their mouths pretend to espouse how great America is that would allow you to accomplish such a feat...unless of course it isn't someone they happen to like

By posting Politico garbage like this , you do realize that in the almost impossible scenario that Cruz does win , this won’t help in getting support from the Trump Army ? Or do you not care ?

Trump "wins" when he destroys conservatism
Yes, behold the 20 years of "conservative" accomplishment in government:
Feel free to keep practicing the definition of insanity. If Trump accomplishes 10% of his agenda, he will have done more than the entire establishment combined.

TRUMP'S POLITICAL SUICIDE !
The Secret Casualties of Iraq's Abandoned Chemical Weapons
CHEMICAL WEAPONS FOUND BY AMERICAN FORCES IN IRAQ
Between 2004 and 2011, American forces in Iraq encountered thousands of chemical munitions. In several cases, troops were exposed to chemical agents. SOME EXPOSURES DETAILED IN THIS ARTICLE
1 MAY 2004 Two soldiers exposed to sarin from a shell near Baghdadâs Yarmouk neighborhood.
2 SUMMER 2006 Over 2,400 nerve-agent rockets found at this former Republican Guard compound.
3 JULY 2008 Six Marines exposed to mustard agent from an artillery shell at an abandoned bunker.
4 AUGUST 2008 Five American soldiers exposed to mustard agent while destroying a weapons cache.
5 2010 OR EARLY 2011 Hundreds of mustard rounds discovered in a container at this Iraqi security compound.
So,
TRUMP LIED ! WMD'S were, in the main (and in DETAIL), IN Iraq AT THE TIME WE TOOK CONTROL OF THE PLACE !

Yes, let us laud Obama’s “accomplishments.”
He sold and used drugs, and went to college, but we don't know who paid for it or what his grades were, and he most likely was given foreign student aid. He never registered for the draft and had someone forge his Selective Service file. He illegally used the Social Security number of a man who was born in 1890 and died in Connecticut. He traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport and lived with a Muslim “roommate.” He conned his way into and through Harvard law, and somehow had his law license revoked after entering the workforce. He became a political agitator, and falsely claimed he was a full University professor when he only taught an extension school course as an add on. He wormed his way into Illinois state office, and won a US Senate seat only because his political thugs illegally unsealed the tawdry divorce details of his chief rival, who was married to a TV star. He attended a racist “church” for 20 years, where homosexuality was a mainstay and where two homosexual men on staff were found murdered after they threatened to disclose their sexual past with him. He illegally accepted foreign contributions during his first Presidential campaign. And that is just for starters.

“Trump’s marriage was crumbling, too, due in part to his infidelity-this was the first of his divorces ...”
He betrays his loved ones. Literally screws around on them. He will do the same to the electorate.
He is faithless with those closest to him. We expect the adulterer to treat us any better?
