I’m having trouble finding it, but my memory tells me that De Gaulle’s resignation statement was extremely short, concise and powerful. It was far better than “I resign”...but it contained only a few more words....if I can find it, I will post it
Whenever I read a comparison to past presidents, I have to ask who was George Washington like?
If Trump is the new JFK, who was JFK like? And so on.
Trump is one of a kind like many of the presidents.
That's really apples and oranges...
Even a much smaller government can be too intrusive trying to run our lives...
Trump needs to do both, tell us government will no longer do base line budgeting to shrink the government by long term growth and start rolling back the legislative nightmare of 100,000's bureaucrats entrenched in the government each in their own fiefdom ...
The Congress even with a GOP leadership will never actually cut the size of government, it's their job to keep the status quo at minimum......
Truman was a politician, a former county judge as well as U.S. Senator, part of the Pendergast machine. Fully a politician, but even Goldwater was always saying nice things abut HST though presumably Goldwater would have voted for Dewey.
I think I know Donald Trump now. Mister JFK, you are NO Donald Trump.
[Seriously though ...]
JFK was a tax cutter, and God bless him for that. He also tried to follow in McCarthy’s footsteps to flush out communist spies and operatives. But ...
Trump is someone else altogether ... Polk on Steroids.

JFK would have been like Theodore Roosevelt without the moral code, wouldn’t he?
Reagan was an Idealogue.
Trump is a populist.
What state were you in in 1960? People truly had “faith” in the Kennedys, and many still do and always will.
Townhall is not worth reading. Junk.
This is a false statement.
No.
PA still am
JFK was a young senator who nobody took seriously?
A name comes to mind and it isn’t Trump.
Trump supporters are afraid the US is becoming a 3rd world banana republic.
Trump is the son of Juan and Evita Peron to lead the banana republic.
And when you put Cruz clean cut and family up against Trump with a bad comb over you get the same vision of Nixon and his eye bags and 5 o’clock shadow beard.
Trump has had a ton of media exposure as a billionaire tycoon, including his 4 bankruptcy.
The Cruz family are young and energetic. He thinks things through and does not shoot off at the lip without thinking things through and saying things that Tickle the Ear Conservatives want to hear.
I’m not opposed to a non-political, but I want to know about that person. Having looked at Trump’s Very HIGH dem donations, his recent donation to VA DEM GUN GRABBER GUV, while running as the GOPe candidate,his support of Carter, Clinton, Hillary are a big turn off, despite the sound bites. Looking at who he calls and surrounds himself with ‘friends’ most are very Liberal. Just having Mexico build a border wall is all he has offered that is new and knows they won’t do it, sounds good, won’t happen. And the fact he is the MSM’s darling this election season is too.
None of Trump’s past DEM association is being brought out, but covered over. While they rake Cruz to death with falsehoods that most FReepers should know about. Even I know and am not on line as much as I once was due to health issues.
Cruz has already voted for the funding of the border wall.
Could he do better in being vocal on the issues, probably. Especially the Refugee terrorist. I follow Lt. Col. Allen West and he post all the single terrorist crimes that pass as just local random crime with the references to allh deleted from fear or liberalism. Well when the Perp is screaming allah akbar while raping a woman or killing some one that is an act of terrorism 1 victim at a time.
Clinton was JFK.
Both were on drugs, and loved to get a piece on the side.
See what I mean, and it is FR posted just 2 down from this one.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3381896/posts, Muhammad is the common names of the Perps.
People think political rallies are seminars for some reason.
Well much to every ones surprise, including Trump, America embraced a totally uncensored Donal Trump. So he upped the rhetoric, he doubled down.
I think in his heart of hearts Donald knew America was in grave danger, but there was no way he could morph into a phony politician. So the only way for him was, “ here i am take it or leave it!”
I even heard him use the “S” word at one of his rally’s. “We're going to knock the s##t out of Isis!” I fell out of my chair.
Donald can see the prize now. But he needs to be slightly less rhetorically impulsive. He is leaving powerful points unspoken. Just drill down one more level of rhetorical attack and you and all of us win.
With his liberal past and constant flip flopping I would say Trump is the next Mitt Romney.
Truman was a complete politician. However, I will agree with you that he was a modest man, a modesty that we really lack today. When he left Washington, he had none of the Secret Service, air-force one,presidential library, motorcade whoop de do that has fooled our leaders into thinking that they are not one of us.
