Up like a homesick angel.
Never saw his shows, not once.
Same here!
UP
I shared the following in a YouTube discussion....
I had only a vague notion of him before this year, not positive or negative,
but the more I’ve learned and the more familiar I’ve become with him, the more I like him.
I’m only five years younger than him and I have a strong notion of how I want to be going forward.
I strive to be physically and mentally active to the greatest extent possible.
Never ceasing to go forward, always learning and using my life to express what I have learned.
When I began to see who Trump was, I saw that he embodies and mirrors what I am and want to remain....
not rich and famous, but a person, going into his later years, physically active...full of joyful ever-fresh life
with an energetic mental acuity, always curious, learning, building and striving forward.
I am inspired and encouraged by Trump.
...and later added this...
To have someone as President with vast executive experience, whose successful endeavors vastly out number his failures,
someone who, most importantly, is an American in thought and in his heart, who loves America
and doesn’t view it as ‘fundamentally flawed’ and needing to be ‘fundamentally transformed’,
appears to me to be exactly what the US needs at this point. He is not ‘right’ or ‘left’, he is American.
He is not paid for and beholden to the donor class. He is not part of the Uniparty.
He is not perfect, as a human he has flaws just as we all do, but I believe he will act in America’s best interests,
not at the Party’s, the Banks’ or the Chamber of Commerce’s behest.
I like Cruz as well and think he would be an excellent choice by Trump for VP.
Each of their qualities would enhance, compliment and inform the other’s.
Up. Way, way up. I did not realize he was a serious person and knew so much about the country and was so conservative.
I really like him now.
Poll not serious as apparently you can vote again but it means something.
My opinion of Greta has gone up also.
Here is something I wrote a while back and post from time to time.
++
As someone about Trumps age, I find it easy to believe his explanation as to why he’s running.
I’ve agonized over the America we are leaving for my own children and grandchildren to live in and raise their families in. Most Freepers here probably feel the same way.
America hardly resembles the one I grew up in. It’s but a shadow of its former self, with freedoms, successes, with respect from our friends, and fear of us by our enemies, all but non-existent.
Trump said he was running so that his family wouldn’t look at him, knowing he could have fixed it, but didn’t.
His own story of building the Trump Organization shows that he knows how to build great empires. Now he wants to make all of America great again.
I think we are but the lucky side beneficiaries.
Great!
How bout neither.... I thought he was a pompous, self righteous a$$hole before and he’s only reinforced my opinion since then with every word that has come out of his smarmy mouth.
I know I’m pissing on the trumpeter swans fan club here, but mark my words...we will rue the day this man gets the nomination. He has brought attention to needed subjects and I love that he’s sticking his finger in the GOPe’s eye....but he embodies everything that we should NEVER put in the White House again...he is the (allegedly) Republican version of Obama.
Seesh, Donald doesn’t even use a teleprompter.
What else ya got?
Aw come on, let us know how you really feel!
Hogwash. Your lack of discernment is amazing.
Nice straw man...what else you got? All of you who so fervently support this shyster (prayer circles anyone? Good grief) need to step back and realize that you are imparting the same “Donald is just dreamy” BS that Obama’s supporters did. He is just as much a narcicisst, just as thin skinned, just as unable to take criticism, just as thin on specifics but long on projection as the current piece of filth in the White House. But you’re now all too emotionally invested to remove the rose colored glasses. Enjoy your dreamboat...
Same, did not think highly of him before, do not think higly of him now. If he is the nominee will vote for him, if Jeb is the nominee I’m staying home.
That was the “suitable for public consumption” version
:)
Which positions that he has taken hard stands on do you object to?
You be wrong there AXEY! Has Trump sealed his records? Does Trump have a commie background? Is Trump a Muslim? Does Trump have the weak, shadowy folks on his Rolodex? Does Trump seem as if he would ever utter the words, “lead from behind?”
Trump will never be referred to as “a piece of filth in the White House.” I guarantee! I rest my case.
Ok, you ready? I’m gonna cause all you trumpeter swans heads to absolutely explode. Here it is: I object to all of you silly people who have latched onto Sir Donald of Kardashian (and to him for proposing it) solely because he says he’s gonna deport all the illegals. (Disclaimer: I would frickin love it if we would deport every last damn one of them). But, over and over and over and over ad nauseum, you trumpeters cite this as the reason you want to have his children. Here’s a news flash gang....it ain’t gonna happen! Public sentiment ain’t gonna allow it to happen. Can we build a wall? Yes! Can we through cracking down on employment laws encourage self deportation? Yes! But actually deport them? It ain’t never gonna happen. The media will eviscerate anyone who tries...and I hate to break it to you....once your ass is in the hot seat, the media perception matters.
Poof there went 90% of most of your rationale for voting for the allegedly conservative ( but realistically statist) Sir Donald of Kardashian
