I have zero sympathy for the unions and the workers that incessantly vote for the contracts that will be their doom

They are your neighbors and your countrymen. Illiterate peasants in Bangladesh are neither.

What's wrong with you?

I’m generally against economic protectionism but I’m also against abdication to global gov and unilateral disarmament. Thanks for the link. I’ll study it.

The DC mess was not created by W. It has been festering since the 30s - rolling my eyes.

If you were a candidate running against a person who claimed to have a pathological mental disease, it’s reasonable to infer that you would want to explain this condition to potential primary voters. I’ll believe you could do that more clearly and accurately than Trump if/when you offer your version of the explanation.

Trump took an admission from Carson’s own autobiography and explained it to his audience. The Cruz campaign out and out lied about Carson in Iowa. The only thing worse than those malicious lies is watching Cruz supporters justify them.

Again, I have no psychological expertise, nor do I see the need to explain it. But I am certain that it can be done without having to compare Carson to a child molester. And it is disingenuous for a Trump supporter to condemn Cruz for something one of his campaign workers did while giving Trump a free pass for doing much worse.

Upfront....I support Trump. At the time he (Trump) went there I cringed. At the time Carson was leading in Iowa (November?) The Pathological issue was fair game since it was in Carson’s book. I think that Trump’s connection to child molester was too far. Kleptomaniac or something like that would have been better. Not apologizing for Trump here, but maybe the line of attack was planned but the example wasn’t thought out and it was spur of the moment. Not the best example, but it certainly did stick in one’s mind didn’t it?

But I do think it was fair for Trump to use Carson’s own words. Just like I do think that it was fine for Cruz to use Trump’s own words. Although Trump has stated that his position changed. Perhaps Trump should have had run a commercial that had that same bit of tape and then He comes on and says...I USED to be pro-choice, but thanks to the Lord I changed my mind and my heart and am now adamantly Pro-Life. I think that would have been a powerful commerical and through it right back in Cruz’s face.

Jeez, I wish I could advise a campaign, time to show these numbnutz some sense (I say this on all sides)

You could hold your nose for Rubio, who did his damnedest to give our country to the invading horde, but you despise Trump, who wants to kick them out, then build a wall to KEEP them out?

Check your feelings and use your head, man.

Rubio is truly Pro-life. Rubio understands the threat to Religious liberty. Rubio fears God.

Maybe I am not familiar with his resume, but I don't know of anything Rubio has ever done other than talk.

He was really losing it tonight.

Some folks are just getting too emotionally invested in their hate for Trump. Not healthy.

Well his oldest daughter is sick of it and they need to take her home. I don’t know why he’s dragging those kids all over the campaign trail. Don’t they have school?

He has said a hundred times he would get these leaders together and hammer out a plan. Where do you see anything about Trump he is a shrinking violet?

Remind me to consult you the next time someone complains about the shallowness of contemporary politics.

BTW, what was Trump's most recent position on ethanol subsidies? ;-)

“If you don’t hear from him after THAT it’s because he’s in a trance just visualizing how lucky he would be.”

That thought crossed my mind but I decided not to go there. Hehehehe

YOu are right! I’ve tried to think of who it was cruz reminds me of. It is Al Gore. Same kind of personality. Clueless in regards to social interaction. Just does not connect.

This guy earned a place on my FR “no-reply” list after finding he was impossible to reason with. I found him to be a “attack dog” who “attacks and accuses, doesn’t listen, and offers no affirmative answers.”

Good riddance.

He should not pick Sessions. He is too old and the South is locked up to whomever the Republicans nominate. Who is your second choice?

I can only imagine the atmosphere in the Levin bunker tonight. Burst blood vessels all over the room.
