You know what I meant.

Well, it could be nothing. (800 -800 = 0)

You can’t be a conservative and believe in single payer socialized medicine. The VA, of which Trump is so critical, is the military’s single payer socialized medicine plan.

I’ll agree with that.

Oh geez, stop being silly. If you don’t know the exact number (855, 823, 864, 808) then you say it’s down “800+” which simply means between 800 and above. I guess we should wait for the markets to close and be accurate, eh?

Ok.good grief.

If Trump is smart then he can leverage his saviness about the markets and use the fact than under the
“corrupt Washington Obama and the other beltway mobsters” the markets fell more than 5% or more than 800 pts in two days to his advantage...I.e., using a crisis and not letting it go to waste.

Fixed.

You may need to get more up-to-date information on Trump’s healthcare plans. Stop regurgitating GOPe-JebBush’s talking points about Trump’s positions from years ago, and quoted out of context..

I think it is safe to say that Trump is more a populist than a conservative, but he is good on some issues, and even better, he will rid the GOP of the stranglehold of the GOPe, so that in the future we, the base, will be the ones who determine who is nominated.

Time to move from denial to acceptance and get on the Trump train before you get left at the station. :-)

I’m pretty heavily involved in aspects of #3...and I have been surprised at the number and intensity of 2nd A supporters in NY.

So...you are right (in my experience) and I think your point #3 is very important.

I hope Trump comes out as strongly pro gun.

“What is Trump’s position on same sex marriage?
Affirmative action?
Socialized medicine (not Obamacare)?
If he’s for any of the above, he’s not a conservative.”

I really don’t care about the over and under, what i do care about is his strong message about no politician, no PC, illegals, borders and jobs, etc.

What you’ve described is basically what happened in New York on the mayoral level. After the self-congratulatory glow wore off, New Yorkers had to deal with what was actually happening in the city, which resulted in a get-tough mayor named Giuliani after one term of Dinkins. I expect Trump saw this too.

"No More Politicians: The Presidency Is Trump’s to Lose"

If all he accomplishes is to relegate obamunism to the dustbin of history he will have done his country a great service.

There are parallels aren’t there? Teddy is whom I think of.

He did well tonight, it is a stump speech interspersed with items of the day. There are still things he says that should be throwaway and things that are less than neutral, just don’t need to be said.
