I’ll get back to you after the election, Tom.
Until then, you’re dead to me.

a glib egomaniac with a checkered record in business and no track record at all in government

Might be amusing.

“and no track record at all in government”

And thank GOD. His only experience in government is its corruption, treason, and obstruction.

See who the media is lying against Trump .

Trump is who we should support!

Trump will stop TPP!

Trump will stop China

Trump will stop illegals with the wall

The media , Rubio,the GOPe etc. all want trump out because Trump is for America and for freedom.

They all want to inundate the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world socialist immigrants. TPP does this.

If Trump is able to overcome the media lies and become president Trump will save the USA.

Trump if he can pull it off will save America from Cruz, Rubio, Jebb or Hillary all of which would have produced the exact same results the destruction of the USA by not stopping the flood of illegals and immigrants.

Trump is the only one I trust out of those running or that ran. Truly Trump will do a heroic thing risking his fortune and success to literally save us from falling in the abyss. Trump is a modern day William Wallace of braveheart only 10 billion times better. if he can become president we will all owe him our freedom , and property and lives.

Definitely Obama had the USA at the tipping point and with TPP etc. they would have destroyed the USA sending it into the abyss. But at the last second Trump arrives , really the only person in the world that i see that could have done it, saved us, and the only person in Washington that is not corrupt or bought off by the globalists and marxists.

Trump is our last hope

TPP : “The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes an entire chapter on immigration. It is a Trojan horse for Obama’s immigration agenda.”

I sure hope he’s wrong, but I suspect that he’s right, as usual.

Political Inertia will not be over come with limp wristed intellectualism. We are too far down the rabbit hole, this sort of “political centrism” died when Bill Clinton took office.

Now Politics is a war of ideologies. It is no longer a game for gentlemen. The other side has no respect for gentlemen and their notions of “deceny and common intrets” and merely uses the gentelman’s polite fig leafs as a rags to wipe their bloody political blade on.

Kobach & Sessions endorsed Trump. They are brilliant rightwingers in and out of government.

It’s almost like when one of your friends starts drinking too much and saying stupid crap ... Dr. Sowell apparently is expecting Cruz/Rubio/Kasich/Clinton/Sanders to have the will and capacity to rectify his list of issues in a better fashion than Trump. I am not seeing it.

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

Tom, you’ve lost touch with your country, and now sound just like every other ivory tower pontificator out there.

None of them rub elbows with the common man any longer, and nearly all of them are aghast at the sudden departure from ‘business as usual’. They, and you, simply do not get it.

We know we’re taking a risk by electing Trump, but who on the stage at this time is better suited to tackle the life and death issues our country faces? Name anyone, and I’ll ask you why they didn’t take the responsibility to run, like Trump did. Their names, titles, and resumes, are meaningless now.

What galls me even more, is that you’re publishing such a wild eyed, pearl clutching, screed like this, on the very eve of Super Tuesday, when it’s already far too late for such howling and crying to make a damn bit of difference.

Look at the polls. Look at the votes. There is no question that the greater number of people voting in the Republican primary are choosing Trump.

And you have the temerity to complain? What are you - some gilt slippered prince, arrogantly eyeing the ignorant ‘little people’ with disdain, because they refuse to choose one of the establishment pols in this election?

How dare you.

Why is it so hard for people to see that Trump is the ONLY hope for America’s future? How brain dead are the ones who want to stay with the same old liars and corrupt politicians? GO TRUMP!
