Right on target as usual. No one knows better how to win and election than you do as well.You have written about it managed it, done it and then won.

Many people still don't get what Trump is all about. He can take or leave the presidency.If he gets the opportunity he will do the best job he can but if he loses he goes back to a wonderful job with a great environment and great people surrounding him that have made millions for him and his family. The naysaysers all concentrate on the downs of his story but the ups far out pace any down and out time he had. Trump is the real deal no one owns him and he will truly make America great again no matter how much marco polo tires to lie about him.

[rodguy911]

Great post and I doubt the Donald will let us down.

[rodguy911]

Many Republicans supported John Roberts and were greatly surprised and saddened at his later actions. The DemonRats seem to have something on everyone. ............ Right you are and in Roberts' case its the fact that he smuggled in his kids first from Ireland to Central America and then into the US. He most likely got caught by the regime just in time to reverse his stand on o-care making it a tax.Meanwhile Scalia had tried for a month to get him to change his mind.

There is a lot at play in the scotus right now. Those who think we have a 4/4 bench better take a look back and see where this guy has voted when.

[patriot08]

Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Sometimes it feels like I’m completely alone in my support for Donald here. :)

[rodguy911]

You probably know a good bit about Texas having written a book based on it. I think it could go either way with either Cruz or the Donald winning it appears that close.

[rodguy911]

Great post John if the left couldn’t lie about everything they do and say they couldn’t run.

[bray]

Think the Fox talking heads were exploding today, wait until next Sunday.

[rodguy911]

YOU are welcome.
Don’t worry there are lots of us and will be even more.

[rodguy911]

For sure it wont be pretty.

[mountainfolk]

An interesting analysis of the mechanics of debating which applies to these interviews as well.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Here in Fl I will vote for Trump///

And whoever the nominee is, I will vote fro them...ABC!(anybody but clinton!)

[patriot08]

I hope you’re right.
God protect Donald from harm.
We need him. He is our last hope for the salvation of America.

[patriot08]

Thank you so much.

[spokeshave]

My point is that they have now formed a tag team to take down Trump

Good luck with that....

....could be a close shave....

[Morgan in Denver]

Like you, I’ll vote for whomever wins our nomination. Still, Rubio’s treatment of the Tea Party in FL turned me off and now Cruz has driven me away from supporting him. Not the attacks on Cruz but the comments and accusations coming from Cruz himself. He’s effectively driven me away and back to supporting Trump.

I also understand Trump being vague about what he’d. He’s not a politician who is driven by sound bytes and years of politicking the public. The revelation of Jeff Sessions being one of his advisers, and has been for some time now, proves to me that Trump will have good people around him who will keep him focused on what can or should be done, not some pie in the sky promise made only during the campaign.

[rodguy911]

I don’t think Cruz can help himself talking bad about almost anyone,hes just a nasty lawyer. Could be one reason no one in the senate comes to his aid at all.That is rather unusual.

[rodguy911]

You are right and they will take him out if they get the chance.

[rodguy911]

Sounds familiar buddy. Trump is hardly perfect but of the choices we have I’ll take him any ol’ day.

[Alas Babylon!]

I hope that after all the primaries are done we can coalesce around whoever wins.

Yes, I’ll admit, I only voted for Republicans for president except for my very first time when I voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976. I know, I know...

I did not like Ford, and when he beat Reagan for the nomination, I vowed I wouldn’t vote for Ford even if that meant getting the democrat in.

What a MISTAKE! I was actually a young airman then, fresh out of basic training, and over the next four years things got so bad due to Carter that:

A. We appeared weak to the Soviet Union, which seriously had them considering the possibility that they could win a nuclear war with a massive surprise attack. I spent 1976-79 in Cheyenne Mountain, NORAD, and the conventional wisdom on the inside was we’d soon be Cheyenne Crater.

B. Canceled weapons programs left and right while the Soviets conducted a MASSIVE rearmament. In the end, it cost us far more $$$ to catch up in the 1980s. Penny-wise and pound-foolish.

C. The pulling the rug out from under the Shah of Iran to look good on human rights. So how’d that work out, anyway? The Shah was a pussy compared to the Islamicists. A thousand dead versus 100s of thousands; maybe millions. Letting Saddam Hussein expand into the vacuum dumping the Shah caused. And we’re STILL facing the consequences. ISIS, anyone? When many people look at the New York City skyline and miss seeing the World Trade Center, well, some blame Bush. Wrong. Others blame Clinton. Less wrong. I blame Jimmy Grinnin’ Carter. He set in motion that which would cause Bin Laden. Would the Soviets have invaded Afghanistan if the USA had been strong, and the Shah’s army was watching over it all?

Those are just three things my revenge for not getting the nominee I wanted helped cause. Now I don’t have delusions of grandeur, blaming only me for the Carter debacle, but when you add up a vote here, a vote there, well, it adds up, and we lose far worse than just having a RINO for a while. Electing democrats lead to death.

BTW, and off topic, but do not believe what some say in private without hearing the other side of the story. There is ALWAYS the other side that needs to be heard before final judgment is made. I was amazed until I saw it with my own eyes. And THAT is just my cryptic message for the week.

[Alas Babylon!]

Hey, now, when you go fishing and ask me to post something for you so you can take the “Sunday thread” day off, you owe me and the others a detailed fish story.

So, how’d it go? Catch any?
