Trump says he'd be a smarter president than his competitors
Yahoo News ^ | August 14, 2015 | KATHLEEN RONAYNE

"We will make great trade deals, we will save Social Security without cuts, we will come up with health care plans that will be phenomenal — phenomenal," Trump told a packed high school auditorium.

Trump's trip to the first primary state comes as he continues to hold a commanding lead in the Republican presidential primary, despite a spat with Fox News personality Megyn Kelly, staff shakeups and continued criticism over his comments about Mexican immigrants. Although he speaks without a script, Trump's talking points here echoed those he's made on the campaign trail for months, namely touting his skills as a negotiator.

The crowd ate it up.

I’m not a paid robot. My candidate is either Trump, Cruz or Carson. We shall see how it goes. I’m an honest citizen of the USA who cares about this country and wants to see things get better.

What the heck are you?

I like your selection of those 3 candidates. Either one of them would be good for the country.

The events of 9/11 don’t turn bad strategies into good ones.

None of the failures that allowed 9/11 to happen had anything at all to do with being insufficiently engaged in military intervention abroad; nor has engaging in these interventions made us any safer. They have cost us trillions of dollars, thousands of lives, and tens of thousands of wounded - all numbers that continue to mount even as we lack the ability to articulate what exactly our military objectives are.

Entropy is one of the very few terms which confounded me during my engineering college years. It is from Thermodynamics course and has something to do with potential of energy in a system. The number 12 in case you are curious is my best golf handicap before reaching medicare age.

A 69 year old Viet Nam vet with over 30 years as police officer (ret) and a proud American citizen, born in the USA. Conservative and someone concerned in the continued existence of America as I knew it in my youth.

My politics:

Cruz or lose. Dump Trump.

[I want Cruz, Trump and Carson to operate as a tag-team in this race :-)]

Absolutely the three best.

From what Osama Bin Laden has said, 911 attack was a retribution for US military presence in Muslim countries.

Hope you don’t get the grief that has assailed me this day.

If your beliefs are not “Trump”, your anathema.

I can’t debate Cruz. It would not be a debate. In a debate, people of opposing view point try to prove why their views are better. I agree 95% with Cruz. Won’t be much of a debate. Only difference I have is with his H1-B proposal and increasing legal immigrants.

[The truth of the matter is - there are very few we can trust in today’s political climate. It’s a crap shoot for the most part. They say one thing on the campaign trail, then get elected, and it’s goodbye “we the people.”]

That is one of the things I admire about Trump. He will not be beholden to large donors or lobbyists. Second, he will gather the best negotiators, not the wussies we have presently. And third, he will gather the smartest. patriotic individuals in each category like Reagan had his kitchen cabinet.

Sorry.. I meant Trump and Cruz.. that would be an hour long debate worth paying for (as long as the winner gets the pot)

Since I do not go on Cruz thread’s and spam the thread with negative comments, why do you guys go to Trump threads to post negative stuff? Why not spend your energy in posting positive stuff on Cruz threads? That might actually win you some converts. With your posts, Trump supporters will think your candidate Cruz must be as negative as you. Which I know is not true.

Are you really so afraid of Trump winning the nomination?

Trump says he'd be a smarter president than his competitors

liberal Donald Trump possesses a fraction of the intellect of Ted Cruz.

Did you hear Cruz visited Trump Tower and spent some time with Trump? Have you noticed they do not attack each other? So that debate is also not possible.

I would like to see a debate between Rand Paul and Chris Christie, one on one, with NO moderators. I would pay good money to see that.
