Well Jim, maybe you're right... We've all been told who's in charge now,
and it's hard to argue with Crewz Helmut.

“But Bush was an establishment candidate and that’s why he lost to President Bill Clinton instead of getting a second term.”
Really?
How about “read my lips, no new taxes” followed by a big tax increase? Easy way to tell the base to f off, which it did.
LOL!
Snort, LOL.
Trump just a plain talking candidate.
WOW how he captures what a lot of us feel.
Trump is one smart cookie and keeps the press guessing!
GO Trump GO!
Thanks Lloyd.
GO TRUMP GO.
I’ve thought since June if anyone should be compared to Reagan, it should be Trump. He is passionate, he can talk to the people, not at them, he can get his message across to all, conservatives, moderates, liberals.
Oh, I donot know. Looks like he has peaked. One more little misstep and it is over. He might as well quit the race now.
Woo Hoo!
Go Trump Go!!!
Woo Hoo!
Go Cruz Go!!!
I had fun with that one...
Well, he had to give up Oreos.
Woo Hoo!
Go Trump Go!!!
"Since our last meeting we have been through a disastrous election. It is easy for us to be discouraged, as pundits hail that election as a repudiation of our philosophy and even as a mandate of some kind or other. But the significance of the election was not registered by those who voted, but by those who stayed home. If there was anything like a mandate it will be found among almost two-thirds of the citizens who refused to participate.
Bitter as it is to accept the results of the November election, we should have reason for some optimism. For many years now we have preached "the gospel," in opposition to the philosophy of so-called liberalism which was, in truth, a call to collectivism.
Now, it is possible we have been persuasive to a greater degree than we had ever realized. Few, if any, Democratic party candidates in the last election ran as liberals. Listening to them I had the eerie feeling we were hearing reruns of Goldwater speeches. I even thought I heard a few of my own.
Bureaucracy was assailed and fiscal responsibility hailed. Even George McGovern donned sackcloth and ashes and did penance for the good people of South Dakota.
But let's not be so naive as to think we are witnessing a mass conversion to the principles of conservatism. Once sworn into office, the victors reverted to type. In their view, apparently, the ends justified the means.
...Can we live with ourselves if we, as a nation, betray our friends and ignore our pledged word? And, if we do, who would ever trust us again? To consider committing such an act so contrary to our deepest ideals is symptomatic of the erosion of standards and values. And this adds to our discontent.
We did not seek world leadership; it was thrust upon us. It has been our destiny almost from the first moment this land was settled. If we fail to keep our rendezvous with destiny or, as John Winthrop said in 1630, "Deal falsely with our God," we shall be made "a story and byword throughout the world."
Americans are hungry to feel once again a sense of mission and greatness.
I don't know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, "We must broaden the base of our party" - when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.
It was a feeling that there was not a sufficient difference now between the parties that kept a majority of the voters away from the polls. When have we ever advocated a closed-door policy? Who has ever been barred from participating?
Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?
Let us show that we stand for fiscal integrity and sound money and above all for an end to deficit spending, with ultimate retirement of the national debt.
Let us also include a permanent limit on the percentage of the people's earnings government can take without their consent.
Let our banner proclaim a genuine tax reform that will begin by simplifying the income tax so that workers can compute their obligation without having to employ legal help.
And let it provide indexing-adjusting the brackets to the cost of living-so that an increase in salary merely to keep pace with inflation does not move the taxpayer into a surtax bracket. Failure to provide this means an increase in government's share and would make the worker worse off than he was before he got the raise.
Let our banner proclaim our belief in a free market as the greatest provider for the people.
Let us also call for an end to the nit-picking, the harassment and over-regulation of business and industry which restricts expansion and our ability to compete in world markets."
Bbbut...bbbbut...Krauthammer says Trump cannot beat Hitlery!
Bush lost because of Bush. That family is the worst thing to ever happen to the conservative movement.
it is rather interesting, that Trump, Reagan, and Clinton were born the year of the Dog, according to the Asian calendar....
