Just like Reagan did.

Presidents do not appoint Leaders. They are voted on by the body.

There are a lot of things we need to get undone and it has to be undone with legislation.

I think he will have to send bills to a President Trump.

Trump has proven he can go around the media and straight to the people.

I’m looking forward to President Trump tweeting out how the senate is stopping what we the people want.

So what? The less government does, the better. All he really has to do is tell his administration to stand down. Obama has set a precedent. Refuse to enforce the sh!tty laws the passed.

I have my doubts, too. This site is going to he’ll pretty fast thanks to Apple and Trump.

Cruz wont be able to get any big spending bills through Congress. What a shame.

Cruz will veto bills and the EPA will shut down. What a shame.

Laugh while you can... it’ll be cryin’ time if you get The Don elected.

After the ball is over; after his Hollywood friends have climbed back into their limos,

The fat friendly face will turn into the Coachman in Pinocchio and he will become your ruler.

I’ve decided The Trump folks want a dictator. They think they’re getting a benevolent one.

Of course he would. And he would get things done.

He has a lot of detailed plans and he will implement them.

I think The Don has never had much interest in lowering taxes and no interest in limiting government.

My main social issue ... the one I care deeply about...is Pro-Life.

The Don is really sketchy on that. He does not care. Three years ago he was perfect okay with abortion.

Do you Don supporters really believe he has changed?

Yes. If Ted Cruz were elected, those whiny layabout senators would shape up or they would be shipped out.

People would not put up with Republican senators blocking conservative plans of President Cruz... they would lose their seats.

If you mean Cruz, you are sadly mistaken.

It’s The Don who’s gonna have the problem in the general.

I can’t imagine Hillary or Bernie winning the presidency but The Don may be just the man who could do it.

Absolutely, only two years of total inaction, and then a whole new Congress supporting President Cruz!

Nonsense. He will be able to reverse many, if not all, the executive orders that Obama signed. In and of itself, that would be a MAJOR accomplishment.

And after he did that, I expect Congress would grow some hair where it counts and start talking and planning with him.

But first things first. He has to be elected.

The ‘filibuster’ is a boogey-man term anymore; only recently did Paul and Cruz use it correctly (for all the good the GOP did to bolster ‘em *spit*).

Well, there’s always the recess appointments. Congress hasn’t done squat vs. Labor Review Board (that I remember), even AFTER the Courts said ‘No no’.

I will give Trump this: He’d do it to put Cruz in their face, DARE ‘em, and take ‘em to the mattresses (through the People) if he thought it needed to be done.

Can’t say I’ve see that gumption. Course, he’s no politician/lawyer either. IMO, that’s been TOO long in the coming

How do I know? I don’t know as a fact, it is my opinion. I am going on his record as mayor, council representative, Congressman, or Senator. You say he was never one of those? That is my point, he does not serve in any capacity and has not. Why is he suddenly running for the office of the Presidency? Is he qualified? Does he have the temperament to shepherd ideas through channels, or will he choose the Obama route and tell others to write him a command?
