Listened to both, Mary Kay Bacallao and Derrick Grayson give presentations at my county republican meeting earlier this month.

Both candidates were conservative however Derrick Grayson has a commanding presence. He was also openly carrying.

I would love for Derrick to win and contribute his strong conservative opinions as a member of the Black Congressional Caucus. :-)

The last time the USA used might was in August, 1990, when Schwartzkopf went into Iraq...

If the US had used might in those that you mentioned, we wouldn’t have been involved for 15 years...

We can speculate, but there’s no way to know for sure. The narrow binary options you insist on are clearly not the only possible reasons.

for example... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Contra_affair

If you want to play the left-wing game of making words mean only what you want them to mean, you can do it by yourself.

You DO know that the Iran/Contra Affair was during Reagan’s second term, well after The prisoners were released....

Mike Lee was trying to defund the bill and Susan Collins introduced one that had no teeth that got passed. Mitch McConnell screwed the American people again. Mike Lee was trying to protect them by not allowing funding for the bill so were you for the fair housing debacle or are you against it

Right On! Lee was protecting the people. McTurtle should just become a leftist Rat. Why did Kentucky put this POS back in.

Martha’s vineyard has very little low-income housing. So does West Hollywood. I hope this law fixes that.

The real goal of this law is to move more democrats from heavily democrat areas (where they are not needed) to GOP areas that are close enough to flip

Then you gerrymander your way into permanent control

I firmly believe this is the ONLY function of the government as it stands right now

Not only did they stop Mike Lees bill they passed an amendment by Susan Collins about zoning so they could say....we did something. HUD has nothing to do with zoning. It was a bait and switch.

I am a conservative.

So are the 90% of members of this forum who are supporting Donald Trump.

Care to actually give a straight answer this time?

Ted Cruz was an early sponsor of Lee's amendment. Trump has been silent on this issue. In so far as Frank Trump made most of his money on low and middile income housing projects, Trump understands the issue. Donald Trump just doesn't care. He's a progressive conman who bamboozled ersatz conservatives wanting a "leader" and is now pivoting to get Bernie Sanders supporters.

You could have supported Cruz and real opposition to the establishment. Instead, you fantasize that a corony capitalist and life-long member of and funder of the establishment is opposition.

I'm not here to denounce Donald Trump. Go vote for him. I'm questioning the sanity of ersatz conservatives who supported the conman and still speak of him as if he were ever a conservative.

The question is, are you with Trump?


I am a conservative.

Since you're unwilling to answer the simple question of whether you're supporting Donald Trump with your vote, I'm going to assume that you're #NeverTrump.

And if you're going to help Hillary by refusing to vote for Donald Trump, then you're not welcome here, and that's coming straight from the top...

Ted Cruz chose to sit on beach in Mexico when this Senate vote was taken. I see how much he “supports” Lee’s amendment. I’ll buy you a clue: Not at all.

Cruz spoke out against the Hud policy months ago. It would have been nice for him to have been in DC to vote for this. But that changes nothing about Fred’s son.
