Larri...Larri?
WTF is wrong with you?!!!!!
The fair share is exactly the same as the indigent homeless bum, and the worst criminal-wetback-parasite....1/340 millionth of the total budget.
See my post #152 this thread.
I hope you’re right. I know that’s how he operates. He has to win!
I think a lot of us are feeling this way lately. But then I remember his poll numbers aren’t that bad. You’d think they would be worse. The media would have us believe Trump is done. I have a friend who changed her registration from dem to rep to vote for Trump, like you. Don’t know anybody who is doing the opposite, that’s for sure!
Please do not call other posters on this thread trolls.
Your poll comment is great, and helps buck up those who haven’t considered that, but that doesn’t make them trolls.
Come on, now. Did the Trump versus Cruz wars put you on edge? Let’s be civil. I expect no less on this thread.
You can do it.
OK, now I know who is the troll. Please find a mirror, pal. You’ll see him, too.
Better. Thank you. Not so hard.
I will address this issue next week, but let me start here:
We didn’t believe the polls in 2008 and 2012; we liked the polls in 2010 and 2014.
Too a great extent, the polls are accurate, however, only in the last few weeks leading up to election day.
The polls out NOW are trying to set expectations, rather than measure them. We need to see them for this, because that’s what a lying media does. Still, for other folks to be concerned about and believe the polls, well, we don’t need to attack them, but talk them off the ledge, so to speak.
I too get dismayed from time to time, especially after watching the media—I stopped doing that mainly for this reason: They are on an anti-Trump, full-throated, no-holds-bared attack on Donald Trump, and hiding Hillary’s massive negatives. They are very, very powerful.
Yet there is a glimmer here and there. I do believe people are pissed off at politicians and want a change. I think that anger also translates against the media, too. For every dupe they convince, I think they add a person who will NEVER trust them and their lies again.
We need to work HARD. Man phone banks, even if only one in thousand answer and listen; it needs doing. I am.
Get out the vote! If you’re part of a church—talk to invalids, older folks, and others of conservative thought and offer to drive them to the polls, remind them to vote, and generally be a resource to them come election day.
Fight back on social media; especially Twitter. It’s run by Leftists, so you’ll probably be banned if you make a good case for Trump, but make them work for it. Be polite yet firm, and do not get into name-calling flame wars. They want that and expect you to do so, so they can then ban you. If you don’t get rude and offensive, you’ll frustrate them greatly and if banned anyways, that will turn off fair-minded people who just might give another listen to the arguments you and other like you make.
We need to be Donald’s army. No, you Driveby Liars, I don’t mean a shooting with guns army, but a powerful, voting for Donald—not voting democrat army. And an army that refuses to watch your drivel. Go die of no ratings please!
Yes it does, Dan! You know it must be hard being a Cruz supporter on this website, but you are welcome here.
I think people are much more civil on this thread.
I wish that would happen back to the rest of the site.
Still, the shine is off the Cruz apple for a lot of folks here. I hope we can keep him in the Senate—as opposed to a democrat or a RINO. I know others think otherwise, but I hope Cruz can redeem himself.
I think for every political action there is also a RE-action.
What’s the saying about nature abhors a vacuum?
People are tired of the lies, the political correctness and the constant blame against them and their efforts just to survive an ever-growing nanny government that needs more and more of their time and treasure.
These are the Trump people. They show up in the hottest days to attend Trump rallies.
But, like you said, the democrats will KILL to keep their power. And the milque-toast RINOs in Warshington will let the democrats KILL to keep their second-fiddle power.
We have a monstrous fight on our hands, but I think we can do it. YOU, keep writing your blog and convincing people.
Remember to take all your like minded church friends to go vote! Take the whole choir (but leave home the Hillary supporters)!
In the short run bias helps the MSM - in the long run it’ll destroy them. Very similar pattern to every other addiction.
