One thing Trump should learn is this: Keep your mouth shut when Hillery’s media baits you with an attack by someone like Khan, “bereaved father of a fallen Muslim hero.” That should have been totally ignored because that story would not have lasted all weekend if Trump had not responded.
The Dems were able to cover up the REAL story of the weekend, which was that the Obama/Democrat economy is on the verge of another RECESSION! Growing at 1.2% in the second quarter, which was half of what the “experts” were predicting, makes it the third consecutive quarter of shrinking GDP, which used to be classed as a recession.
Stop fooling around with these stupid side issues. Fasten your attention on the terrible Obama economy. This is what voters of all parties are concerned about.

No.

The Republican base have adopted a new definition of “conservatism”.

If you are for expelling all illegals, not allowing in people who want to destroy us, and reducing government spending and regulations, then you fit the definition. If you don’t, then we want you to GET THE F*** OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Did we pay attention to them and their concerns? Did we listen to them about illegal immigration, about the impact of free trade, about the wars we supported?

Guy didn't even mention obamadoesntcare. This is what motivated this to elect a Republican House and then a Republcan Senate. Both did nothing. This reveals that Dems and Pubs are essentially one party.

The American People finally woke up and realized that in the past 50-years. the GOPe, the DNC and the MSM have been quietly merging into the DC Uni-Party, in order to consolidate power and loot the country.

But their crow won’t translate into a vote. They’re going for Hillary. Krauthammer basically admitted that. But then he once voted for Obama.

Donald Trump is our modern day Winston Churchill. God is giving us one last chance to return to our United States Constitution.

God will not be mocked.

You are correct. We are not turning our back on conservatives; we are turning our back on members of the ruling class who pretend to be conservative.

Maybe with Trump we finally have a chance at fixing some things like the out of control government debt. Hillary is same old same old and would add trillions to the debt just like Obama. And the GOP-E work on the debt problem? Give me a break!

They hate conflict and fighting for their belief if its not done in gentleman fashion

Very true. The other side has no such qualms. The hell of it is, the 'Rats keep on kicking us in the nuts and the "gentlemen" on our side demand that we just smile and take it, as if that will gain us points with the other side and their media allies. Well, cripes, this isn't Sunday School or an encounter group, its politics, probably the nastiest thing out there short of armed conflict. Well, even the meekest dog and most mild-mannered person will reach their breaking point. I for one and damned sick and tired of being told, by many on both sides, that I am the problem, the reason for all the ills of society, when all I have done my entire life is follow the rules, pay my debts, obey the law, and treat others with kindness and respect. I'm ready to vote for someone who will tell those people to go straight to hell.

So how is it that these guys are still picking around the periphery and haven’t gotten to the part of how they are destroying the country we all live in, with us and everyone we love still in it, part?

That this is not a case of wanting to retain the relationship of “elite” and “subject/client” because they chased out everyone who was not a “true believer” in their claptrap. Heaven help Trump. What pool will he be able to hire from?

This election isn’t about Conservative vs Liberal.

It is Nationalist vs Globalist.

Well, for one thing, we learned that we actual Conservatives have been sold down the river by pseudo conservatives, a/l/a George Will, etal. and the Republican Party. For another thing, we have gone from thinking to believing to knowing that the Republican and Democrat Parties were two wings of the same Party, Socialists.

We should have learned by now that it is only US, the American Patriots and Donald Trump against both political parties and their propaganda arm, the media. And that we are on our own.
