Thanks.

Really think parts of his opinion would be closer to some of the things our current pResident’s actions. He may see that.

Think he wants all undesirables here!!! Someone mentioned he may be using a retirement ‘cabin’ elsewhere. Hope.......better stop there.

Thanks again!!

I agree with that Don-O, and when our nation is secure again that will become my number one issue.

You see, I value the life of the living as well.

And DT is not young. He has consistently been inconsistent except in how he operates. Loves his lawyers to circumvent and intimidate. Imagine the DOJ and FBI under his control.

LOL!! Sometime use verbs as nouns and nouns as verbs. Have been called for dangling participles!! Major offense!!!

In a way glad they never were cognizant of it!! It would really have hurt them.

Take care.........pilgrim

These are the demographics of DT supporters.

“In September David Brady and Douglas Rivers of the Hoover Institution took a closer look at the demographics of Mr Trump’s enduring coalition. They painted a picture of Trump supporters as largely older, less wealthy and less educated.

They found that more than half of Trump-backers are female. About a third are over the age of 65. Only 2% are younger than 30. Half of his voters have a high-school diploma, but just 19% have a college degree. Just over a third earn less than $50,000, while 11% make six figures or more.”

Because of the loss of news articles I spend more time finding about what is going on outside of the election in other places.

Glance at yahoo news and drudge. Listen to Rush and Levin but not every day. Go to their sites to occasionally. But I will not abandon Jim R.

Agree!

Not all the article is pertinent but some points are concerning.

Thanks!

That is a consistent characteristic.

Time back, past actions could be used to predict certain future actions as a norm, but seems no longer to be considered.

If elected, certainly HOPE he surprises me. I will vote for him over the dem candidate...........but have no delusions.

Expect the unexpected............

After the last 7 years and acknowledging the reality that our nation has indeed fallen, and after reading the Bible in depth, nothing will surprise me.

There is nothing new under the sun.

There's danger of putting anyone in power. All humans are flawed, and in the case of a large personality like Trump the flaws are YUGE.

In life and politics there are no guarantees. The closest we have to a guarantee in 2016 is that a vote for Jeb would be a vote for more of the same...and that if things don't change fast there's no going back.

The primary season has shown the degree to which the GOPee has rigged the system, will fight change, fight giving up control. All the change we've fought for in 2010 and 2014 has been for naught. Under the current circumstances congressional elections are meaningless.

I'll repeat that. Under the current circumstances, congressional elections are meaningless. Strategy and effort and donations are for naught. Come the next amnesty, the ruling class will have accomplished turning America into a First World country with a Third World electorate. Since the two can't co-exist, it's obvious which will give way...and the noble experiment will have ended.

If we're to stem the tide we must focus on essentials. Take out the GOPee, defeat PC, stop the flow of illegals and terrorists, stop apologizing for being America. Without that, we have no constitution and no country.

So, that's where we are. Rubio is a boy, easily controlled by the establishment; amnesty and open borders are a given. Cruz is a constitutional conservative but the Blob will bury him. As President he will be little more than a bystander; well meaning but a bystander nonetheless.

I shake my head at those who worry about "damaging the brand," because the hour is much later than they grasp. I see where Cruz doesn't have the juice and Rubio is a pretty boy; with Trump I acknowledge the danger but think, "Hey, this could work." I don't think Trump will be a Banana Republic dictator.

That's why I regard the hand wringing about 'constitutional conservatives' as perhaps well meaning but largely irrelevant. That's fighting the last battle.
