Trump fire the establishment Republicans? Are you serious?

Trump spent a lot of money to keep the Tea Party candidates out and keep McConnell and his drones in power.

Lol!

I’d be nervous too given that the bird could bite a finger off easily.... eagles are powerful predators.

Everyone knows Cruz is allied with the conservative wing like Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions.

Obama was upfront about a lot of things too. Makes it easier to know not to vote for them when they’re honest about their plans.

Yep Trump the businessman has already explained to the voters why he was nice to NY politicians and alike.

One problem with the demolition: It paints Donald Trump as an ordinary establishment Republican who can work with folks “across the aisle”. So while Ted is counting on Trump’s not appealing to “true conservatives”, (and that seems to be working), it is telling the “moderates”, and the GOP establishment, and the Reagan Democrats that Donald Trump is just what they have been asking for!

0bamao was upfront about what he wanted to do to Americans, too. As I recall, those who warned the adulators were ignored. History repeats itself.

>> My biggest problem with Trump is his wild inconsistency.

As a business man and builder, he’s been very consistent and successful. And while the majority of his business dealings took place in New Jersey and New York, his political contributions still leaned to the right.

Trump deserves the same margin of tolerance given to every other damn politician we’ve been suffering.

Great ad. I hope that’s playing in Iowa.

That will leave a mark.

Good observation.

One thing the Democrats have been really good at, is balkanizing America. Even if it takes luring a large hunk of the country much further left than any sane person would countenance. They believe in dividing to conquer, and they don’t really care what was spoiled as long as they get spoils.

The poor Republicans have been left as the suffering servants in this picture, trying to buffer the impact.

If — big fat IF — Donald can somehow short circuit this destructive demagoguery, perhaps by means of showing an overwhelming popular mandate, THEN he might be able to drag the Democrat half of the government, kicking and screaming, back into some zone of sanity. Because in the end, even venal politics ends up being sucking up to the one with the power. If it’s Donald, now he calls the shots.

Let’s not be too hasty to judge Donald’s deals till we find out where the dog is and where the tail is, in the deal. It might not be where we fear!

I wonder who the birds handler was?

I thought it was illegal to hold a Bald Eagle in captivity.

I saw a youtube video where a guy put a tiny video camera on his Falcon and let it fly...it is awesome!

And we are wondering why Jeff Sessions and Mike Lee have not endorsed Ted Cruz. Jeff Sessions has come very, very close to endorsing Donald Trump. Mike Lee is a Constitutional scholar. Maybe Mike Lee knows that Ted Cruz is not a natural-born citizen of the United States.

Oh for pete’s sake.

Everybody uses those mailers. Joni Ernst used it during her campaign. It’s a non-story.

Reagan did agree to about 1 million illegal aliens getting amnesty.

3.5 signed up. He was lied to by the Democrats and his own people.

As for the new laws on the books as part of that deal, they were top notch. If they had been implemented, they would have prevented us from being over-run.

Bush refused to enforce them. Clinton did as well. So did G. W. Of Course Obama didn’t. Now we’re stuck with 30 million illegals.

That was not Reagan’s fault.

No they don’t do it in such a misleading fashion, not unless they really have a masochism fetish.

Too bad he is not qualified to be President.

The same margin of tolerance was given to Boehner, Ryan, McConnell, Cantor and every other lying, thieving, twofaced, conniving, double dealing, wolf in sheep's clothing "republican" that was looked to to be a bulwark against the demoncrats.

Your way worked pretty damned well, didn't it.

Time for you and so many others who claim to be "conservatives" and "patriots" to go to school and learn the meanings of those words and come back when educated.
