Don’t know as it’s bashing, but today I received yet another
“gimmie” for money and told them to take a hike and remove my name.
I no longer believe they vet the candidates they promote.
They’ve sure put in a couple of doozies here in MI and elsewhere.

You said...
“Again, Trump is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. He SAYS what you want to hear, but DOES something else.”

Many Republicans have run as conservatives but govern closer to the left once in office. And many Republican voters have become tired of it.

Yet, in the minds of many, they somehow believe that Trump with be the one to run more as a conservative and govern as a conservative despite his many, many past liberal positions and statements

Trump is not a progressive....
But if elected, he will like big government.....

Isn't that the root of ALL the problems? Wouldn't a small government candidate be the RIGHT answer?

No one has thought about it. Instead, they're glued to the TV and Trumps new "Who Wants To Be President" reality show. His supporters aren't using their heads. They've forgotten their core principals.

That’s okay.
They can be replaced just as they replaced others.

It was never going to be perfect with every one.

The thing is to keep churning them through until you get a halfway decent one.

Apparently you don’t know much about the electorate. I’m not talking primary here. I’m talking general.

Trumps pulling in some demographics we haven’t seen in a while.

With winner take all in the upcoming States, Trump has to hope the tea party fully endorse him with ads.

You didn’t tell us a fact about a candidate. You tried to imply something about a candidate based on the actions of a worthless piece of shit: David Duke.

That puts you more in the camp of the latter, in my book.

In an earlier post I just suggested that the Trump phenomenon is a morphing of the Tea Party.

Some key points of Trump and Tea Party commonality:

Dumping of the GOPe selected candidate and returning political power to the Republican rank and file.

Killing political correctness.

Not advocating government as a solution to all issues.

Advocating fiscal restraint.

Defending the borders aggressively.

Strengthening the military.

Returning the stature of the USA as the world's sole superpower.

Ending obummercare.

Supporting Israel

Feel free to add to the list.

You said..
“You didn’t tell us a fact about a candidate. You tried to imply something about a candidate based on the actions of a worthless piece of shit: David Duke’

No. And, like Trump needs to do himself, you need to think first and react less.

My point was to point out the hypocrisy of those who say that those of us who will sit out the election for president if Trump and Hillary are on the top are, by default, endorsing Hillary yet say a guy who said he’ll vote for Trump and tells his followers to vote for Trump is not endorsing Trump. I don’t believe for a millisecond that Trump loves the KKK or hates Jews. That type of smear is the domain of the left

Clear it up for you, buttercup?

Nothing that spectacular.

I am a FReeper on extended vacation, I ordinarily post as Cringing Negativism Network, but for the time being I will post as CBA123 since I’m using public networks for everything over here at the moment.

Today I am looking at Vietnamese study classes, maybe I will post after my first class, just to say hello.

(I know it’s basic, but you gotta start somewhere)

Best regards.

I won’t bash the Tea Party; the Tea Party has always been the people on the ground, not those who sit in offices and have fooled themselves into thinking they’re making decisions for us.

Clinton or Trump will be President. Actively working to sabotage Trump if your candidate loses the nomination is the moral and intellectual equivalence of voting for Hillary.

Yeah, yeah. We have heard this song before. Fill in Dole, Bush, McCain, or Romney for Trump and it's the same tune. No more!

This time I'm not even going to blame the ruling elites for giving us a moderate progressive insider to vote for in the general. I blame the voters who fell for a NYC con man instead of nominating a limited governnment conservative like Cruz, Carson or Paul.
