Why I support Trump — and resent the elites trying to destroy him- NY Post
New York Post ^ | March 5, 2016 | John C. KlugeT

Posted on 03/09/2016 12:16:20 PM PST by Right-wing Librarian

"Let me say up front that I am a lifelong Republican and conservative. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life and have voted in every presidential and midterm election since 1988. I have never in my life considered myself anything but a conservative. I am pained to admit that the conservative media and many conservatives’ reaction to Donald Trump has caused me to no longer consider myself part of the movement."

Was Cruz for not letting the Muslim “refugees” in? If so, I missed it. I guess he is now, since he has copied Trump on almost every other important issue. And also if so, why is HE not taking the flak for it? Why is Trump the “racist” and not Cruz?

“Ted Cruz ... has been in public office...”

And that’s why we hate him, Rubio, and Kasich. They helped create the problems.

Please give us a ballpark figure for how many times Trump has to explain why he gave to Democrats.

“You are supporting a man who gave money to the clinton’s (sic).”

And you are supporting a man who takes large donations from homosexuals and will forever be beholden to them.

For the same reason the Mexican Givernment, The Pope, and the British Parliament have never said a single word about Cruz.

Cruz = Status Quo

I understand your point. I just think it’s wrong/intellectually lazy to lump all Republicans in together when issuing that condemnation.

All things being equal, I would agree with you. However, as no one has managed to institute efficacious remedies, though those who would assert their ability to provide said remedies have more than demonstrated their grasp of the problems, one is inexorably drawn to one of two conclusions.

Either there is no will, in which case they are being disingenuous, or there is no ability, in which case they are not competent for the position to which they ask to be elevated.

If there is a "third way," I'm not aware of it.

Sounds like Trump negotiating a deal. And he’s dealt with unions too.

**“Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who seems to have any inclination to act strictly in America’s interest.**
