I am convinced they mean well.

I know where these guys are coming from, and in ways they make sense. We can’t deny that Trump has had a checkered past, but I think he operated as a gland-handing businessman.

He wasn’t operating as a FReeper or DU player. That wasn’t his thing.

Reagan went to the local pub and had drinks with Tip O’Neil.

Did we out him for it, and trash him for years afterwards?

Reality is a B, and some Conservatives are going to have to come to grips with the fact this is the last go-round, if we want to save this nation.

We haven’t had a Conservative give us everything we wanted since Reagan. I’m not even sure he would have survived the withering day in and day out scrutiny of a forum like this. We’re a tough crowd.

Trump it is.

Cruz’s insider connection is a family affair. His wife, Heidi, is a Goldman Sachs vice president in Houston. Bite me.


Trumps sister works for Chase Manhattan and another is a ultra-liberal Appellate Judge..

Actually his father/ mother all his siblings and most all his friends are rock hard traitorous liberals..

Cruz is a tested, proven, confirmed Conservative..
Proven by FIRE.. not verbal sanctimony.. and Guile..

Today Rush said he never considered Trump to be a Conservative. I wonder if the usually blunt Levin and Limbaugh are more concerned about losing audience than being truthful and admitting Trump shouldn’t be nominated?

“I say let them enjoy being the opposition.”

On taking office after the stock market crash and the onset of the Great Depression, Roosevelt appointed old Joe Kennedy, a criminal bootlegger, a serial adulterer, and intimate of mafioso, a notorious manipulator of the stock market to be the Czar to clean up Wall Street. Roosevelt is alleged to have commented on his own appointment, "I will set a thief to catch a thief."

Conventional histories generally credit Kennedy with cleaning up Wall Street but history also recounts that Kennedy as ambassador to the Court of St. James became a believer in Nazi inevitable victory and very nearly ruptured the burgeoning alliance with England as it stood alone against Hitler and history is not quite so complete in recounting Kennedy's vote buying in West Virginia and Illinois on behalf of his son in 1960. Kennedy's association with the Mafia obviously continued and was probably exploited to buy a presidential election.

The point?

The essential character of Joe Kennedy did not change.

Geron, better to have a man that at least promises to do what I want, than guys that had a chance to vote for things I wanted, and voted against my wishes.

Trump wasn’t on my dime.

They were.

That was not the question and you know it.

The statement was that “Trump is the first candidate espousing conservatism”

which is an absolute lie

Reagan was 41 when he shifted from being an anti nuke pro union liberal to a political conservative, though he didn’t switch to Republican for a few more years.

I listen to the pap.

I roll my eyes when some fool compares him to Reagan.

Trump’s favorite President is BILL CLINTON. That is present tense. He doesn’t want to be a Reagan, he wants to be a BILL CLINTON who campaigned as a conservative Democrat.

That was July 17 of this year. So its not “ancient history”
