I was going to write something on why Trump sucks and then I saw this video.

And once I saw it, realized it says everything that needed to be said and all straight from Trump's mouth.

So far as I can tell in listening to Trump his case for people to vote for him are as follow:

A) His poll numbers are good, in fact way better right now than any other candidate's. Way better.

B) He is smarter than everyone else running. In fact he's a genius (a genius who thinks the U.S. Senate has a Speaker, but hey, he's still a genius).

C) All the other candidates are ugly, stupid, fat, hicks, and wimps.

D) Did I mention that his polling numbers are really good?

That's about it. Oh, and his daughter is so hot even he's tempted. Yep, by far the best qualified man to lead America.

Did you happen to notice that Trump’s mouth was moving? Did you notice that the voice coming out of that mouth sounded amazing like Trump’s? Assuming that the answer to both my questions is yes, why would you give TBBT a hard time about this post regardless of whether you like the source or not?

LOL, thats a good one

My main reason is, Trump has PERSONALLY created more jobs in United States than all presidents COMBINED since George Washington. And he is resonating with voters. Have you observed how much enthusiasm and love is on display at his massive rallies?

I am sick of career politicians, who have made a mess of the country. Most have been cashing government checks all their life. They are all without exception slaves of their rich donors.

That is why the career politicians fool us with smooth speeches before elections, and then after go back to serving their rich masters and push the cheap labor express. Let your lying eyes see for yourself.

Path to Legal Status for Illegals

Cheap Foreign Workers on H1-B visa

Pushing TPP

If you enjoy enthusiasm at rallies there's a film from the 1930's you should check out called "Triumph of the Will". Look for the original German title Triumph des Willens. Sorry, but when I see people behave star struck listening to a rambling and partly incoherent speech by a billionaire casino builder pretending to be defender of the common man I am only persuaded that they're at least a little bit nuts. That being said, if he is nominated I will vote for him and pray that I am wrong. I will take a flawed president who loves this country over any living Democrat.

#1 - Statement #2 is the truth.

#2 - Statement #1 is a lie.

It’s more than just “winning”. If you want that, Parker Brothers still makes board games. It should be about advancing freedom and liberty, gutting government freebies and useless spending programs to reduce the excess burden of taxes, privatization of social security, putting schools back in the hands of the state, and appointing the most conservative justices to the courts. None of which are Trump strong points.

The vicious attacks in the first few posts is pretty telling isn't it?

Alinsky tactics are out in full force tonight, and Trumpets are great at it.

[catfish1957]

No, I’m going to vote for the conservative that I think has the best chance of winning and who brings over issues that I think are the most important.

I vote Trump.

When did Trump become a conservative?

[catfish1957]

2 1/2 minute clip every Freeper should see......

[catfish1957]

Did yiou catch the part in the clip, that he not only said he was PRO-CHOICE, but VERY PRO-CHOICE?

And this guy is winning polls here at FR?????? WTH!!!!!!

[RasterMaster]

Just following their leader....

I am convinced, Trump will not go on an assassination mission to kill every doctor performing abortions or bomb abortion clinics. Do you know of any other candidate who might be willing to take that mission on?

[entropy12]

Obviously Trump’s audience has different taste than yours, but he is doing better than your candidate BY FAR, whoever your candidate is. May be you can teach your candidate to act like Trump and gain more voters. After all when your candidate loses, he/she becomes totally irrelevant.

[entropy12]

I get a kick out of many who proclaim Trump is not a conservative. So why are these people powerless to elect a ^true conservative^ as president? Because none of those so called ^good^ conservatives RESONATE with majority of people. Why do you think Cruz is behind Trump by double digits in most polls? Only a former democrat, divorced, and with Hollywood background and transformed conservative such as Ronald Reagan can RESONATE with voters.

What exactly have the ^true conservatives^ in congress accomplished?

Obamacare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Anchor babies outlawed?
National debt reduced?
Abortion restricted?
China trade deficit reduced?
Food stamp growth curbed?
Welfare growth reduced?
Fraud in Medicare & Social Security under control? (25% of Medicare payments go to fraudulent claims, and there are tens of thousands of people over age 110 still getting social security checks automatically)

If Trump can deliver any 3 of above, he is more than enough conservative for most rational people.

Trump is conservative on these issues:

Pro life since at least 2011, wanted to ban partial birth abortion as far back as 2000.
Pro Traditional marriage. ^Gay rights is not my thing.^
Pro capital punishment ^Capital punishment isn't uncivilized; murderers living is^
Hold Judges accountable
Opposes ^Common core is a disaster^ Teach citizenship, quit ^dumbing down^.
Anti education unions (2000)
For school choice
^Climate Change is a hoax^
^No Cap-and-Tax^
For drilling our own.
On Environment ^Good development enhances the environment^
Stressed the importance of a strong family & culture of life (2015)
Supports Israel
Opposes Iran deal and letting Iran obtain the bomb.
Wants to crush ISIS quickly.
Wants a military so strong no one will challenge us.
Against unbalanced trade deals that kill American jobs.
Against warrant-less government surveillance of citizens.
Is against having a high national debt. Warns that $24T is a point of no return.
Against gun control
For assault weapon ban but says the AR-15 shouldn't be considered an assault weapon.
Wants to repeal Obamacare and replace it with market driven polices and increased competition among insurance companies.
Wants to increase military spending.
Will close the border to illegals
Will send the criminals and sponges back.
Will deport all illegals but will let the hard working ones go through the legal process to come back.
Against Anchor babies
Knows unemployment is much higher than official stats.
Will bring jobs back through better trade negotiation.
Attended military academy and Wharton Business School.
Stood up for Birthers and challenged Obama on his fraud.
Believes USA is ^the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known^
Wants to honor commitments on Social Security and Medicare, which we can afford to do if he gets the economy going full steam.
Wants to reduce the fraud in disability and other programs.
Against marriage penalties in tax code.
Wants to simplify tax code with just 3 simple brackets.
Wants to reduce income taxes and reduce corporate tax.
Wants to rebuild our infrastructure.
Wants to apply welfare-to-work to 76 other welfare programs (2011)
Doesn't have time for political correctness.
Not afraid to call out either party or both when they are wrong.
Not a puppet to rich campaign donors. Go Trump 2016! Born in America of two US Citizen Parents! A true Natural Born Citizen!

Excellent post!

[entropy12]

Freepers have seen 30 years of performance by conservative career politicians. And Freepers are badly disappointed by their performance. These career politicians are just the puppets of their ultra-rich donors. It is high time we try someone who is NOT controlled by the donor class, and accepts no donations over $2700 from anyone, and ordered his superPacs started without his knowledge disbanded.

Thank you kindly.
