Like the illegals, Trump is going to do away with Obama’s executive orders and then bring them back as laws.

Congress will go along with him because he’s a liberal.

Yes, as a fellow Freeper says ‘ Peace be upon him’.

It is amazing to me that the same mindless worship that put Obama in office could very well give us someone even worse.

This does remind me of Obama’s campaign and following.

They tried to give us Romney. that shows you the mentality of the people involved. They want revenge on conservatives from denying them their last liberal so they front another.

Noting that I will vote for Republican presidential nominee, patriots need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and demand that the president respects those limited powers too.

I have compared Trump to Jesse Ventura. I apologize to Mr. Ventura.

that conventional Republicans do make a pretense of standing for something beyond their own political self-interest.

Pretense: an attempt to make something that is not the case appear true

That's the problem with the GOPe. Donald comes across as authentic.

IIRC, the day Cruz started down was the day he attacked The Donald! I am not sure if there is enough data to establish a pattern here, but there may be something to this: Attack Trump, Bye! Bye! thing.

I don’t think Trump hates his country like Romney or Obama, but the guy is what he is. I have said for years that records don’t lie. And regardless of all the personal attacks, screaming tantrums and calls to be shot by liberal Freepers, I have yet to be wrong in following a candidate’s record.

It’s sorta WHY people need to look at a person’s past. No one is perfect. Some are just more tremendously lib supporting than others.

And some want that.

Trump is openly becoming more establishment with each passing day. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t he start out claiming to be against the estblishment?

By the time the primaries are over, he will be a full-blown establishment guy, just like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. How is that working out so far?

Trump is an authentic NY liberal, all the way to the marrow of his bones. Beyond that, he’s a “promise anything” con artist.

I hope he still does what he has to do.

If he wins, then I do too... but you assume that Trump's idea of "what must be done" matches yours exactly, in every detail. It likely does not.

My husban's argument against Trump always has been - he'll never be able to do anything because Congress will dig their heels in to stop him.

Exactly as they have with Cruz and everyone else who has tried.

My response, he's a dealmaker, he'll do what he has to get things done and if Congress won't do it, he'll go to the people.

Cruz built a 33-state consortium to defend the Second Amendment at the Supreme Court. Trump is not the "only one" who makes deals. In case you hadn't heard, that' how Congress has operated for a long time. As for "going to the people", do you really need to be reminded the number of times that We the People had a solid majority that Congress and SCOTUS Ignored anyway? ObamaCare, Term Limits, runaway spending, etc etc etc. What has that done? Honestly, how will it be different with Trump?

I don't know, we may have created a monster but I'm still behind him. Something has got to be done about the den of iniquity (DC) and he's the one that can do it.

Again, he is NOT "the one". To say that means that if he died tomorrow, the cause would be lost forever? Of course not, and it is silly to say so.
