Donald Trump is the only candidate in the 2016 race who A) fights, B) tells it like it is, and C) has a plan to make America great again. Everybody is talking about how he won the GOP debate. He gets bigger crowds than Bernie Sanders. Sure, he’s advocated liberal policies and supported Democratic politicians in the past, but that just proves Donald Trump is a savvy businessman. RINOs and other members of the politically correct establishment will keep attacking him because they are fat slobs with ugly wives who can’t afford a classy suit.
American voters fed up with the GOP establish have a duty to stand up and defend The Donald’s previous positions, for example:
Support for Planned Parenthood
HE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE ABORTIONS. NOT HIS FAULT FOR CARING ABOUT WOMEN.
Support for single-payer healthcare
MITCH MCCONNELL SUPPORTS OBAMACARE. GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE MIGHT NOT BE SO BAD WITH A BUSINESSMAN IN CHARGE.
Support for massive tax increases
REAGAN RAISED TAXES TOO AND WAS ALSO A DEMOCRAT LIKE TRUMP.
Trump’s current positions must also be defended from outrageous attacks, such as:
Mexico probably isn’t going to pay for a border wall
YES, THEY WILL. TRUMP HAS A PLAN TO MAKE THEM.
That “plan” isn’t going to work
HE HAS A PLAN. SHUT UP.
Supporting an “assault weapons ban” isn’t very pro-gun
WHO CARES? TRUMP ISN’T BEHOLDEN TO SPECIAL INTERESTS LIKE THE NRA.
He still supports raising taxes
TAX HILLARY!!
He’s just making this up as he goes
TRUMP IS NOT A SCRIPTED POLITICIAN AND HIS POLICIES ARE MORE DETAILED THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE. HE’LL BUILD THE WALL AND GET MEXICO TO PAY FOR IT.
And, because The Donald can be a tad unpredictable, we must be prepared to justify whatever positions he may take in the future. For example:
$60-per-hour minimum wage
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. OBAMA HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR THE ECONOMY.
Carbon tax
A BRILLIANT POLITICAL MOVE TO APPEAL TO INDEPENDENTS IN A GENERAL ELECTION. WE CAN USE THE REVENUE TO FUND THE BORDER WALL IF MEXICO WON’T PAY WHICH THEY WILL BECAUSE THE DONALD WILL MAKE THEM.
Bank nationalization
SHREWD PLAY TO SHORE UP SUPPORT FROM BERNIE SANDERS VOTERS. WHO BETTER TO RUN THE BANKS THAN A BILLIONAIRE WHO MAKES DEALS FOR A LIVING? THIS MAY CONVINCE LIBERAL SENATORS TO SUPPORT A LAND INVASION OF CHINA TO TAKE BACK OUR JOBS.
Pardons Hillary Clinton
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMEN KNOW HOW TO MAKE DEALS SHE WILL OWE HIM BIG TIME. FEW OTHERS WOULD BE SO GRACIOUS THIS WILL HELP HIM WIN THE WOMEN’S VOTE AGAIN IN 2020.
Nominates Michelle Obama to the Supreme Court
SHE IS MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THAT SELLOUT JOHN ROBERTS. THE FACT THAT RINO TALKING HEADS DON’T LIKE IT JUST PROVES THAT TRUMP IS RIGHT. HIS COMMITMENT TO WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT IS INSPIRING.
Sells Alaska back to Russia
TRUMP WAS RIGHT HE DOES GET ALONG WITH PUTIN. WE DON’T NEED THE OIL ANYWAY WE’LL JUST STEAL IT FROM ISIS. THE REVENUES FROM THE SALE WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARD FUNDING THE BORDER WALL NOW THAT MEXICO HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT.

I appreciate the positive information posted on the candidates and since the MSM is not to be trusted those posts give me a starting point to research in the limited time I have. I would much rather know the positives each has done versus the spin the media gives it. Of course I recognize that for some relevant positives are harder to find...like that Jeb loves his dad is a good but totally irrelevant point. Thanks to all who post information that I can ponder. So far Cruz is still my choice.
What YOU don’t get is there is NEVER ‘only one issue”, despite what you and Ann Coulter say.
Ted Cruz is solid on ALL of them, with real plans, with implementable details.
No on the Iran Arrangement.
No on funding Planned Parenthood.
No on Obamacare.
No on Tax increases.
Yes, on National Defense.
Yes, on Religious Liberty.
Yes, on the 2nd Amendment.
Yes, on prosecuting Hillary.
Would you say the wide open borders, with enemies, criminals, terrorists and parasites pouring in is 1, a small problem, 2, a big problem, or 3, a life or death problem?
I won't say DT is a buffoon, but he does have a bit of a schtick that strikes many that way. I will agree that the proper balance of hating the GOP E and loving America is to support Cruz while recognizing the good Trump has done.
WHY? Because it's Cruz, for all of Trump's feel good bashing, who actually has a much long track record of fighting the GOP E. He also has no track record of reflexive liberalism.
Now, if you hate the GOP E above your love for America, then you'll be drawn into the camp of the guy who channels that hatred the best, even though it's demonstrable that he's not the answer.
Thank you. He’s a Beltway Liberal Wannabe Pundit.
Amen , amen and amen
I never would have thought so many FReepers would have fallen so heavily for the schtick of the Kim Kardashian of politics. It is truly mind boggling. I pray for the blinders to fall from their eyes.
HaHa...They are ALL conservatives...And they ALL are members of the GOPe...
How about the fact that just yesterday he stated that he was against Citizens United. To me that is a game changer.
LOL, this is about right. Sharing this.
Copying Jon Stewart’s style won’t get Stiles a “fake news” TV show, very few conservatives are that irrational.
The point is people are slamming Trump for non-specifics when everyone knows perfectly well that every other candidate has no clue OR is lying OR doesn't give a crap about building a wall.
Trump represents the Specter/Chaffee/Jeffords/Crist wing.
>> WHY DONT YOU TALK ABOUT THE CANDIDATES AND NOT THE POSTERS? <<
If the facts aren’t on your side, you pound the law. And if the law isn’t on your side, you pound the table. But if there is no table, you pound an FR poster.
Actually it isn't. I've seen most of those responses right here on this forum, repeatedly, when people try to defend Trump's positions.
Hell, I've seen some of his fans say we should toss the Constitution and install him as a dictator, and that he should just govern by writing illegal executive orders, because Obama does, so there.
The Left (and the GOP) were more than happy to take 700 billion dollars from Social Security and transfer it into Obamacare...Trump says he will protect the liberal Social Security program... That puts me and Trump to the left of the GOPe...And I'm all for it...
It doesn't matter if Trump is a phony...It doesn't matter if Trump is going to ultimately push some left leaning ideas in the long run...We still have the other 2 branches of Government for oversight and balance...
So what if Trump wants to ban 'assault weapons'...So does Obama...How'd that work out???
Trump is saying what the 'silent majority' has been saying for years...But he's the first one to come along that has enough money to buy his own microphone...
I'm not sure if it is Trump you guys hate so badly or if it's his ideas for America that you detest...
We already have one...And he isn't the only one...Our acceptable buffoons looked Presidential...so that makes it ok I guess...
George Jr. always reminded me of Guber on the Andy Griffith Show...Even looks a little bit like him...
The GOPe with their counterpart run America...A candidate has to 'fit' with their agenda before he/she will get the nod from the RNC or the DNC...
Trump doesn't have to fit anywhere...He will pick a Cabinet that fits him...Instead of filling up the empty chair at the table as will happen with one of the other candidates, ALL the chairs at Trumps table are empty...HE will fill them up...With like minded people...
Trump didn't get to be one of the world's richest people by being a buffoon...
Would you say the wide open borders, with enemies, criminals, terrorists and parasites pouring in is 1, a small problem, 2, a big problem, or 3, a life or death problem?
“Trump is a gadfly and a celebrity candidate”
And even worse he’s polling at number one in every poll. While Mitt Walker is fading to black. LOL!
so Trump is like Obama in some ways, so let’s elect him anyway. And if it puts you on the left so be it? YOU said it.
So thanks for showing us the cool dispassionate logical intellect behind (many in) the Trump movement. I could not have done so better myself.
LOL! El Bingo Sir (a little Spanish lingo)
