As P.J. O'Rourke once said, "If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait till its free." And as most of us are starting to find out, he was right.

 

Hildabeast or Bernie and the country is toast, if not for ever then a very very long time. On the other hand I think that we can survive a Trump presidency, survive being the operative word. Trump's ego will get in the way much like our current POTUS. He claims that he isn't a politician but he sure plays it well, changes his core beliefs almost daily. He truly isn't the person we need to lead us out of the mess Obama, Reed, Pelosi, McConnel, Beoner..........have put us in. I would urge all of you in the super Tuesday states to vote for Ted Cruz. There is a reason the establishment doesn't like him, it's because he will spoil their little "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" fiasco that we call government.

Trump was fun to watch while he lasted, I'm over that now. Besides getting an endorsement from Chris Christy is enough to tell me everything I need to know.

 

Trump is the reason there are record crowds coming out to vote. If the GOP establishment sabotages his election like they are trying very hard to do, the party won't win the election because of the backlash. What the heck is Romney doing putting his mouth in this election. He blew his chance by not being aggressive enough. He should go home and shut his mouth.

The US Chamber of Commerce and businesses want illegal immigration to continue because of the "cheap" labor. The Democrats want it to continue to get the voters so they can complete the turn to socialism. Cruz is just not that popular. We need to go with and support our most popular guy and make sure the corrupt criminal Hillary doesn't get elected. Anyhooo, it's very interesting. I'll be up late tomorrow night watching the election returns.

 

Popular isn't a good enough reason for me while we still have choices. But like I said, I will vote for him if he gets the nomination.

 

Give me one GOOD* reason that college and healthcare should be "free". First of all there is no such thing as "free"; Somebody has to pay for it! Or are YOU and 10 million of your like minded friends willing to work in Healthcare or educational system for nothing, nada, zip, zero so that it can be FREE for everyone else? If you want a "free" college education or a "free" health care, then I suggest that you go join the Army for four years! That's what many of us did!

* Other than you've just too dammed lazy to work for it.

BTW Roadie, B.S.'s district, Burlington, Vermont is the home of the University of Vermont. One of the leading liberal universities in the country so it's no wonder that they keep electing him!

 

Roadie, nailed it. If the Rinos do manage to prevent Trump from getting the nomination, the Republican voters will EXPLODE. It's far, far too late for the Rinos to put the cork back in the bottle. I surely don't agree with Trumps methods and some of what he's said but at least he IS at least addressing the issues that concern most Americans. Something that Cruz and the other Rino candidates failed, no, IGNORED.

 

All of the candidates would be trying to ignore the illegal immigration issue if it wasn't for Trump bringing it to the forefront. I think the same thing would have been true if he hadn't started talking about how other countries have been allowed to walk all over the American worker for decades. You may have read that China reduced the value of their currency again just this week to make their stuff cheaper to export and more expensive for us to export to them. We're getting screwed big time. Big Businesses don't care because they have built factories in China. It's about time we elected a president who will be on the side of the citizens of the United States.

 

What about Trump doing business in China, or the foreign workers and illegals. Yup he is all in for the American workers!

Cruz a RINO........REALLY?

 

Of course he did the same things that other businessmen did because he was doing it to make a profit. He is running for office to change the system so businesses will stay in the USA and be able to make a profit. China's currency was approved by some international committee last October as a currency that can be used for international trade. The currency is supposed to float and let the market determine its value. But China devalued it anyway just like they have done many times before. China, Japan, and many other countries have been breaking agreed upon trade rules forever and they are allowed to get away with it. Trump wants to level the playing field. It would not surprise me if lots of folks in Washington have taken Chinese bribes. Congressmen and Senators go to Washington and become very rich men somehow!

And Hillary was doing favors for foreign governments because they gave Bill big money for a speech. An example of that is when Bill gave a speech in MOSCOW, RUSSIA for $500k. Then the State Department led by Hillary approved the purchase of the majority of the uranium mines in the USA by a Canadian company that Russia has a major stake in. If Trump wins, a lot of people could go to jail including Hillary, Bill, the IRS leadership, Hillary's assistants and the list goes on. The IRS was used to win the last election. Did you hear Dr. Ben Carson say that for the first time in his life he was audited by the IRS after he made his critical speech at Obama's national prayer breakfast. Trump won't be owned by the people who are sticking it to the American people.

 

The problem I have is that first and foremost, Trump is for Trump. He always has been and always will be, not many 70 year olds change their ways that easily. Any time someone calls him on something, it is ALWAYS someone else's fault. I just don't see any kind of track record that makes me feel warm and fuzzy about what he says he will do. Although a lot of what he brings up is good for a starting point, his standard plan seems to be "it will be great" or "it will be beautiful". there is not much depth in that. We already have a president that says just enough to get people's imagination going, then they project all kinds of stuff into what he didn't say. Remember the Obama phone lady?

As for the Clintons, if you look up the word criminal in the dictionary their pictures should be there. The last time the Hildabeast lived in the White House she stole the china when they left. There is no question that she would destroy the country if she is elected. As for Bernie..........he's an IDIOT.

I just think that Ted Cruz is the most consistent. Rubio is just a liar, ask anybody in Florida how he turned on a dime on immigration.

 

ABSOLUTELY. He rocks the boat occasionally but he's definitely part of the Washington clique.

"What about Trump doing business in China, or the foreign workers and illegals. Yup he is all in for the American workers!"


Of course, he has! And he'll be the first to admit it. That's what any BUSINESSMAN would do. After all their goal is to save money and increase profits. BUT Trump has seen first hand how that is destroying American jobs, American industry and the American middle class and now he's set out to change that. Whether you believe he will or even can, is debatable but the fact is that he is the ONLY candidate, in either party that I might add, that has stated that that is his goal. For EVERYONE else, it's going to be business as usual! The only exception to that is Bernie but he wants to give away the country to those that are unwilling to work and just want everything to be free and expect someone else to pay for it.


You ask about Cruz, tell me has he EVER run a business and HAD to meet an objective? Has he ever HAD to stay on a budget? Do you honestly think that he knows what it's like for an American worker that has to do those things and that's facing losing HIS job to China or Mexico? HELL NO HE DOESN'T! He just another career politician who thinks that he can simply throw more of OUR money at any problem and that it will go away!

 

Floridian here. Rubio is a disgrace, pure and simple! His personal finances are a disaster, his house has been in foreclosure and he only survives by having political lobbiests pay him over inflated prices for his house, speeches etc. In other words thinly disguised bribes. He has one of the absolute WORST attendance records in Congress! He doesn't have a bad voting record simply because he's never there and almost never votes! I simply think of him as The INVISIBLE Man. He can give stirring and seemingly passionate speeches when he chooses to but that's not very often and that's all that he's good for IMO. He is SO disconnected and SO financially incompetent that I would hate to imagine him as President!

BTW do I have to remind anyone of the last guy that gave such great speeches but turned into a unmitigated disaster as President? Enough said.

 

1988 Oprah interview of Trump

 

I don't see how anyone in America that works for living could disagree with that.

 

You're right he has probably never run a business, Has the Donald ever successfully argued a case in the Supreme Court? Of course their life experiences are different, I'm pretty sure that Ted Cruz wasn't raised with a silver spoon or inherited millions of dollars that he never worked for either. Trumps background has never exposed him to the things that the average American faces in todays job market, so what gives him the edge on "knowing" what John Q. Public has to deal with at the end of every month? Perhaps he asked the Polish workers he under paid for Trump Tower???? IDK.

I agree with you about Rubio, he will probably be toast pretty soon. That is if Mit Romney's little melt down today doesn't get any traction.

Don't get me wrong, I will vote for Trump if he is the nominee, but for me it will be another nose holder. Will you vote for Cruz if he wins the nomination?
