Wrong. The Republican voters took back the Republican Party from the Trotsky-ite communists who had hijacked it.
I have been a Republican Conservative since I came of age to vote...that would be 21, because allowing children to vote at 18 came after I had reached 21.
But now, things have changed for me. I have now come to the conclusion that Democrats, Liberals, Republicans and Conservatives have all come to stand for the same thing...getting and keeping money and power.
Public Servant, absurd. The people are the servants.
So my view is just that this country, with over $19,000,000,000,000 in debt and around $100,000,000,000,000 in unfunded liabilities will founder - crash - fail...choose your descriptor.
The positive thing about this is that the sooner the better because we can and will recover. (I would be happy to explain why that is so in a later post.)
Therefore my view is that Republican and Democrat are meaningless distinctions.
What comes after the Armageddon will have different factions.
The WSJ crony crowd is in full blown panic mode over Trump’s rise.
The stink of their desperation is almost overwhelming, and causing these clowns to lose their minds.
Good, they have it coming.
That is nothing but BS
Go home GOPe
What could possibly go wrong?
If so many Conservatives actually thought about the future 4 years ago, they would have elected Romney. But no, the “blowhards” stayed home, and in that allowed Barack Obama another 4 years. What they don’t realize is that in so doing, with momentum that was in their favor (had they actually gone out and voted), that they squandered, they lost the culture wars too.
And so, a new dynamic in electoral politics has emerged, one that makes Conservative stances especially on social issues not only obsolete, but any mention of anything “traditional” arouses anxieties in so many voters (particularly millennials) now that it mobilizes them to go to the polls in droves to stop what they feel is “bigotry” from becoming a force of influence once again.
This dynamic makes candidates like Cruz look outdated,
unappealing, maybe even cartoonish, and not worthy of any serious consideration. And that is exactly how most REPUBLICAN voters saw him. In that, the blowhards are at it again, huffing and puffing, completely missing the mark yet again and in their stubbornness, about to forfeit yet another chance at stopping another unethical, narcissistic, lawless president who we’ve known for over 23 years.
And yet, if Trump fails to win the presidency in November, you can be sure that the media will do all it can to make sure these same patterns keep repeating to help their candidates keep winning.
Johnathan Tonin????
Now that’s funny
Is Trump a real conservative or is he pretending? Given his record of behavior I am not certain. And his finance guy is a Soros lackey.
Where did restate find this joker to take over their operation
Nobody should be idolizing Donald — he is what he is — however nobody should be idolizing anyone else, even Ronald Reagan.
This looks to be Donald’s day to serve a useful role. It won’t be perfect. It almost certainly will be better than what came immediately before.
God is most interested, however, not even in what we do with Donald than in what we do with Jesus Christ. Will We The People call, through Donald’s populist ear, for things that facilitate a holy, helpful existence, or just one that is self righteously self congratulatory and vengeful? We can’t throw it over the transom to a Ted Cruz now; that excuse is gone.
There are sane alternatives to disastrous modern policies that don’t call for playing zero sum games. For example: bleeding heart liberals should spend their own resources helping Mexicans in Mexico, rather than throwing them on the backs of unwilling fellow Americans. To be charity such that God would bless it, charity always had to be voluntary. Government simulacrums of it always lead to cynicism and political suck-ups.
They’re not conservatives. They’re govt dependents.
Trump has a Machiavellian side. He chooses what he thinks is the best mind to git-r-done even if that mind had been doing unsavory things in the past.
I know the question will come up as to whether he will owe a political favor afterwards to the guy. Donald shouldn’t do that, but I’m sure his campaign money man is getting a generous piece of the financial action now, in a capitalist model. What, not pay him? Unthinkable. Pay him from money and resources that are not legitimately personally given to Donald? That should be unthinkable too.
Only “purists” whose idiocy in not voting put a communist, traitor and racist in the White House in 2008 and 2012.
Trump is a present opportunity to be the table that is “set in the presence of our enemies.”
What goes on the table, we have a lot of choice about — Donald has even said so. If it is crawling with bugs and snakes because the people with other provisions sat back and folded their arms and frowned — we could use some aardvarks and some mongooses — Donald never promised anything but the opportunity, not to keep us from abusing it.
Krispy,Romney, Bush, Linda are conservatives?
This Leon Wolf character is an open borders neocon. I think I remember reading that he compared those in favor of immigration restrictions to China’s one child policy.
“Is Trump a real conservative or is he pretending? Given his record of behavior I am not certain. And his finance guy is a Soros lackey.”
Trump would not have spent millions of his own money on a lark. He believes the positions he is running on. If he really thought he was a liberal at heart he would have run against PIAPS
He certainly could have worked an exploit in the Democrat world if he had wanted, being another left-centrist Democrat in the vein of Bill Clinton but sans most of the scandal. He had the personal power to do that.
Instead, he has aspired to be a right-centrist Republican.
