I'm not sure what you mean by 'the only one'. I support Cruz first.

I am leery of the pep-rally atmosphere which is surrounding Trump. It's a great show, and I am glad to see a lot of sacred cows end up on the barbecue, but not all of our country's best decisions will turn a profit in the near term.

Most populist theology, for want of a better term, appeals in the short term--good tactics, but good tactics have to be backed by good strategy or you just win the battle and lose the war.

No offense meant.

I thought this parrot had ‘the look’ of disdain for annoying people. Kinda like Donald Trump.

Democrats did not elect these liberals. ‘we’ did.

Bears Repeating.

The only “bundler” is what I was referring to.

A lot of us have been praying for a Dirty Harry style ass kicker to represent us. That is why he will win.

You got that right. We don't need a nice guy...we need a guy who can get the job done...no matter what.

The entire GOP party is liberal dipshit! If I’m wrong, please name a single conservative accomplishment that has been made by them in the last 25 years! That being said, I refuse to support any of them.

Hi there!

I’ve been looking into Donald Trump even before he announced his run for President. Why? Because The Apprentice videos are on www.youtube.com, and I had no other free entertainment. I had gotten up to Season 6 when he became politically controversial here on Free Republic a couple of months ago, and I have sat back and watched the posted material.

1. It doesn’t matter if he was a Democrat between 1999 - 2009 - so have a lot of conservative Republicans been Dems in the past. Lots of people change their political parties for a variety of reasons, and there exist many former Democrats on Free Republic.

One thing I noticed about The Apprentice is Trump gives out business behavior advice that is actually quite appropriate to living in general. He is really keen on honesty which I’ve noticed many here miss completely. What most miss is that he aims for honesty that is smart and not stupid.

2. Religion. You mentioned he can not quote anything from the Bible. Well, neither can I. So what?

What he does have is respect for others religious beliefs. That becomes apparent in The Apprentice series.

I strongly suggest everyone view at least the first six seasons of The Apprentice. There are generally 14 episodes and they’re very interesting. They provide an opportunity into how Trump thinks.

Will I be voting for Trump? Yes.

I do not expect a perfect person when I vote, but I do expect honesty, which I know from investigating and researching the other candidates they are not, and that includes Sen.Paul, Gov.Walker, Sen.Cruz, and Gov.Bush.

Earlier tonight my thoughts were directed to considering what the Powers That Be would do if they can't control D Trump

They'd kill him ala JFK

That was my conclusion

And if that happened, WW3 would shirley break out

Thanks FRiend, but I had already seen your post.

Trump may be saying the things many want to hear. And I agree with you that he is giving the MSM and others a hard time. That is a good thing and I am enjoying it as are many. But as I said, I trust no liberal, and Donald Trump is a liberal.

Its just the truth. No one wants to face the truth. That would mean they were responsible for their circumstance and God knows that ain’t gonna happen. Too many moral cowards.

You don't recall No Child Left Behind, the Patriot Act, or the top bracket income tax cut of 1989?

Why should we try to “fix” anything about Trump? Do we try to “fix” Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz? They are what they are.

A very good post my FRiend!

I think our only chance to save the country is to elect this flawed but powerful man.... Donald Trump.

Only Trump can build the wall.

Thumbs up on that. As I’ve been thinking, Trump may not be the right person, but he’s the right person for the times. And perhaps, he’ll open the door for something better.

We all are. All of us. But we are going to have the truth forced on us. Reality always does that. We can choose to beat it to the punch and try steering the outcome or just get accounts on DU which is where most so called ‘conservatives’ belong anyway.
