Exactly right. It was about opposition to bail outs, higher taxes and illegal immigration. That’s why it attracted so many people who had never been involved in politics. Then the professional conservatives set up tea party this, and tea party that, and tried to act like they were leaders, and drove a lot of those people away.

A lot of those same people supported Perot, and are now supporting Trump. They are people who work hard and play by the rules and are tired of seeing their country sold out to benefit globalist corporations with no loyalty to this country. They don’t care if Trump is conservative on every issue as long as he’s a nationalist.

Like one who would tweet a blatant lie like this?

I would submit it is Trump first and America second.

If he is elected, it is a sure thing he will abandon an conservative statements made in the campaign faster than you can say Mitch McConnell.

We’ll see. Or maybe we won’t. Lots of ground to cover yet.

Keep the faith!

He’s not a fake conservative. He’s an American.And Trump can say Cruz is a fake American without condemnation?

You can’t be for legal status then against it when you see it’s winning votes - and Baca real conservative.

Ditto with H1B increases.

It’s important not to forget that only a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!

Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.

And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.

I don’t like it, but they are at each others throats. Liked it a lot better when they were buddies.

Yes, because IF ONLY Trump had kept quiet about it, the Democrats and the Media [but I repeat myself] would NEVER have mentioned it...

But are you still pro-Cruz first when it comes to the primaries or has that changed?

“Cruz to tea party supporters: Don’t get ‘burned’ by fake conservatives...”

Since Trump never claimed to be a conservative just who is he referring to - Rubio maybe?

I'm with you and will vote for him in the general with one caveat. My enthusiasm will be totally dependent on whether or not he throws those things that got him the nomination out the window during the General.

IMHO he will. I think he telegraphed that move past week when he said he would have to be a little “establishment” to get things done.

I call B.S. Build the freaking wall, both the funds and legal authority had already been written into law. Ship the illegals home and DON’T let them back in. Order the Border patrol back to the border. Push for everify.

When Trump says he’s going to go a little establishment if elected my question is on what?
The Debt?
The Second Amendment?
The Fifth?
Bailouts?
Social Programs?
Free College?

Issue Ex.Order and instruct all fed agencies all funds that are going to sanctuary citiez will be halted until theyFollow ALL immigration laws

Personally, I’d like to see ObamaCare repealed and replaced with nothing but freedom. Eliminate as much regulation against health care and insurance companies as possible.
*********************************************************************************
Amen to that. Allow insurance to be marketed across state line, have REAL tort reform and add in “loser pays” and a significant chunk of the “unnecessary” health care costs will vaporate.

So you think property tax is the same as eminent domain?

Very interesting. Do you also consider cats the same as dogs?

Both hairy, have four legs, and are pets?

Or are cats and dogs different things, even though they share some similarities?

Thank G-d. I thought I’d lost you.

It was like losing my brother from a gentile mother.
