Don’t forget to pat yourself on the back when the dummycrats win, because that’s what you’re working towards.

RE: Gosh that Trump is a bastard. All those legal things he did! Screw him!

Here’s my question — he used the system and it worked for him.

Does he PERSONALLY APPROVE OF IT? Or will he work hard to change the system?

And that’s OK for conservatives to vote for him?

Why don't you have a problem with conservatives voting for candidates on the other side of the "crony capitalist" equation?

And Trump is the only man who can win? Why is that?
We have 15 others on the campaign.

Name the ones who are crony capitalists on the other side of the equation and I’ll tell you who is and is not acceptable.

RE: Another day of anti-Trump stories. Get a life.

What FR rule tells us that we should only post pro-Trump stories?

Why do I not hear “Another pro-Trump story... YAWWN. Get a life”?

Because they have trusted “true conservatives” election after election and have been lied to and ignored. What have they got to lose? With Trump you get no GOPe and if he does nothing that he says he will do, what have they lost? No more taking chances with more conservative like candidates. It is like the boy who cried wolf.

[ RE: Trump is at least HONEST about being a crony capitalist.

And that’s OK for conservatives to vote for him?

Just as Bernie Sanders is honest as a Socialist, and that’s OK too? ]

No, but it would explain both of their popularity.

If one is party to a conspiracy, is not the first step in breaking that conspiracy admitting to its existence?

Sure, but it is not enough. I want DISAPPROVAL of its existence and a plan to CHANGE the way it works, and NOT to participate in it.

Ahhh, yes — Vote for me because I am honest about being a socialist. And vote for me because I am honest about being a crony capitalist.

We might as well have someone say — vote for me because I had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky ( and he’d be popular too. At least he isn’t lying ).

Just as soon as you document the ones Trump suborned.

Nobody said crony capitalism was ‘the way to go’. We have way, way too much of it now. You’re not suggesting Donald Trump said that I hope.

Trump did business based on what it takes to succeed. He doesn’t make the rules. He even donated to various political parties as well. That’s the way it’s done - in NYC anyway.

Nobody likes it. But it’s very difficult, of not impossible, to do any kind of major business there. That’s the way it is.

BTW, trying to compare Sanders to Trump is foolhardy. Apples and oranges doesn’t even describe it.

I’ve been watching you.

You don’t appear to show any bias in your posting.

Clearly you are the enemy.......sometimes. LOL

RE: BTW, trying to compare Sanders to Trump is foolhardy.

There are similarities — Their BLUNT TALK and their being unapologetic about what they believe in.

Sadly the masses have become that corrupt.

People are going to vote themselves into a tyranny just as F A Hayek predicted in his seminal work.
