(New York, NY) December 17, 2015

If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.

The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?

The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people. It is time we imposed budget discipline by holding the line on spending, getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, and by taking on our debt. To do these things, we need a President who can lead the fight to hold Congress and the rest of government accountable. Together, we can Make America Great Again." atDonald J. Trump

Great statement by Trump. The more I consider these candidates, the more convinced I am becoming that Donald Trump is the only one who can crack the whip and Congress jumps.

The Constitution doesn’t mention “Parties”. That the GOPee be broken is Constitutional.

I don’t give a damn. I care as much about this shit as I do about the cause of potheads, which is less than zero.

Trump is solid on taxes, jobs, debt, vets, defense, terrorism, immigration, borders, trade and business.

I don’t give a rat’s ass if he drinks ethanol and calls Cruz a dumbass. It’s frivolous noise, not worth a microsecond of one’s attention.

Anyone who supports subsidizing wind and ethanol really shouldn't run their mouths about bad budget deals.

Anyone who has nothing to contribute except the same lame Trump-hating horseshit should just STFU until they have something intelligent to say.

Neither did I. ;)
That the GOPe be broken is Constitutional.
Trying to repair it with a man who is to the Constitution what a case of the hiccups would be to a glass blower just doesn't seem to be my idea of a viable repair.

Did Cruz make a statement? If so, did anyone hear it?

Maybe Amanda Carpenter or Daniel Horowitz heard it :)

I know it is irritating that Trump slaps back at his accusers. I wish the American public was smart enough to keep track of false accusers and their claims, but they are not.

Only the conservative politician will stand up for themselves against uniparty/leftist attackers...we learned this watching Bush and Rove (and McStupid and Romney) in action. I don’t like ‘fighting” but I like less, no contact smearing of conservatives in the political system. Either you fight back, or you lose.

Cruz came out today and used the term “undocumented democrats” when referring to illegals. Apparently he thinks he coined the phrase. Well Rush beat him to it by a couple years, calling illegals “undocumented democrat voters.”

If Trump goes for the throat on the issue, then Rush deserves some kudos.

Trump got to where he is at on his own. And it is despite Mr Rush Beck, not because of him.

The only thing I wish Trump had put in the statement:

"Mr. Ryan, this is not who we are!"

(Which is what Ryan said regarding Trump's immigration comments...)

It’s been bankrupt for some time. Might as well be honest about it.
