No desire to hang, just misunderstood your request.
I’d have to respond by saying to understand my whole bent would be to read the entirety of my comments. I subsequently fully explained my beef with the OP.
People want ideas and solutions, not emotion based bile laced tirades.
Is somebody super-gluing your eyes in your sleep?
“So, once again, by stating ‘I will cover EVERYONE’, he didn’t really mean everyone? Interesting twist of logic;”
“So, once again...he really didn’t mean everyone?”
I know I shouldn’t ask this, but how on earth do you get that from what Trump said, or what I posted?
Trump said everyone. Having seen the interview myself, I stated that he was including everyone, which included those who can afford health insurance, and those who can’t. Is there a third group of Americans who are not included in that?
“However when it’s for the good of entrepreneurs and business men? No they should not be able to take my possessions, my property!!”
It wasn’t being done for the good of entrepreneurs and business men. It was done by the city for the city of AC.
I don’t know if you’ve been to AC (before and after the casinos), but before it was a slum. Property was worth next to nothing. This house was purchased (before the casinos were built for twenty thousand or so. During the same period houses on the shore, both north and south of AC were selling for 200 to 300 thousand. AC was a slum...
The casinos brought billions of dollars to the city and state and tens of thousands of high paying jobs.
The house in question was an eyesore sitting among billion dollar buildings. The city wanted it gone. Nobody was trying to cheat her... she was offered 50 times what it was worth and that wasn’t enough for her.
Those have no less substance than the past statements o other conservatives have hung on them.
But even putting the gun control issue aside, Trump’s stances on those other issues should be troublesome enough. The gun control issue is just one of many.
*Those have no less substance than the past statements other conservatives have had hung on them.
I agree. But we have free will. We’re not Pavlov’s dog in an experiment or otherwise. Hey, if Trump were truly what he says I’d be with him. But he’s not Saul on the way to Damascus. He’s Trump on the way to D.C. His adaption of the business plan to conservative values is purely opportunistic. He’s the whore claiming she’s a virgin, and in his case claiming he’s uniquely capable of cleaning up the horrors of his craft.
Yes, the gun control issue is just one issue.
But it is the issue that I have expert knowledge in. I am not expert in the other issues, so I cannot speak for them with authority.
As to “Other conservative”, we have to look at each case individually, in context.
I was very skeptical of Donald Trump when he first announced.
I was on the edge of hostility.
I investigated. I read.
I now find him an acceptable candidate.
I like Ted Cruz a bit better for his deep Constitutional understanding.
But much has to be said for Donald Trump’s ability to win against the media and, as Ted Cruz says, the Washington Cartel, which are essentially the same thing.
Donald Trump has shown an amazing ability to win against the Washington Cartel, and his policy pronouncements are more conservative than most of the rest of the pack of candidates.
We need to be skeptical of what candidates say. But we can use other criteria to judge, such as who is threatened by the Candidate.
I would love to see a President Ted Cruz, but I will certainly accept a President Donald Trump.
