Bill Kristol, Fred Barnes are classic neocons.

I’ll never forget the Fred Barnes candidacy and watching FoxNews and getting schooled in neocon behavior.

Great lesson.

Neoconservatives Declare War on Donald J. Trump

I have yet to see a definition of "neoconservative" that makes any sense.

Didn't that originate with "establishment," the GOPe as a term of derision?

I’ll take a chance on the self made billionaire who claims to love America’s free market system over anyone else at this point.

Your graphic sucks by the way. I’m surprised to left Trump’s wife in the shot.

I have not seen the neoconservatives declare war on Hillary or on Obama, even after all the damage he has caused this nation. They are not conservatives and have caused confusion as to what it means to be a conservative.

Good. The neocons have been weakening us for a quarter century. Posturing as tough guys while sapping our strength, prosperity, security and sovereignty.

“A speedy victory is the main object in war. If this is long in coming, weapons are blunted and morale depressed. If troops are attacking cities, their strength will be exhausted. When the army engages in protracted campaigns, the resources of the state will fall short. When your weapons are dulled and ardor dampened, your strength exhausted and treasure spent, the chieftains of the neighboring states will take advantage of your crisis to act. In that case, no man, however wise, will be able to avert the disastrous consequences that ensue. Thus, while we have heard of stupid haste in war, we have not yet seen a clever operation that was prolonged. for there has never been a protracted war which benefited a country. Therefore, those unable to understand the evils inherent in employing troops are equally unable to understand the advantageous ways of doing so.”
~ Sun Tzu

All of these politicians are committing political suicide if they refuse to support Trump. The Trump followers will not forget come election time. Any senator, such as Sasse and Graham, will not receive any votes from the Trump followers. And with his support now at the 50% mark, most if not all of those rejecting Trumps legitimacy will not be reelected.

Trump followers will have long memories, and pay back will be hell.

Because you’re that much of a Trump cult fanatic that you’d reject politicians who vote conservative 90%+ of the time?

Even if you support Trump, rejecting someone who is MORE conservative and just happens to be a purist about it is a TERRIBLE idea if you are actually conservative. Great plan if you’re a libtard though.

NY Times Reportedly Has Audio of Donald Trump Softening His Immigration Stance
by Alex Griswold | 2:58 pm, February 29th, 2016 42

PicMonkey-Collage-TrumpAccording to a report from Buzzfeed, Donald Trump softened his stance on illegal immigration during a conversation with The New York Times and audio of the moment exists.

Buzzfeed’s editor-in-chief Ben Smith reports that during Trump’s December editorial meeting, he went off-the-record to discuss his stance on illegal immigration. In the audio, which Smith says has “reached near-mythical status at the Times,” Trump supposedly says that his tough stance was just a starting point in negotiations, and he was actually flexible.

ADVERTISING

The Times released the audio of some of Trump’s interview earlier to counter his claim that they lied about his support for a 45% tariff. But that was part was on-the-record; the Times has refused Buzzfeed’s request to turn over the transcript or audio of his remarks on immigration.

There is some hope that that the audio may yet see the light of day if Trump okays it. “If he wants to call up and ask us to release this transcript, he’s free to do that and then we can decide what we would do,” Times editor Andrew Rosenthal told Smith.

Most people don’t even know that these neo-cons are actually leftists who moved from the democrat party when that party became more of a peace at any price party. They still support all the leftist social causes, open borders, abortion, gay marriage, affirmative action, political correctness, and whatever else all liberals support. Their only goal is to drag the US into every war they can in the Middle East.

Maybe Pub you might try more reading and less snarking.

Steaming pantload. That list in his wedding photo. Tell me that even 20 years ago any of that true about the GOP, As for Trump dodging a draft, there is far more evidence that Cheney was a draft dodger. He even said he had better things to do. This is the same for almost every GOP congressfool and senator in the 90s. Gingrich used deferments. Romney was a missionary deferment.
GOP never tolerated adultery? Are you stoned?

That was a real laugher. But nice try.

PS, I hope you’re going to be ok tomorrow.
