Did we watch the same debates?
There are three reasons why they're attacks on Trump. First is that he's the front runner and they're trying to trip him up. Second is that Trump's skin is thinner than an onions and he always rises to the bait and shows his narcissistic tendencies for the television audience. Third is that Trump is all over the board with his proposals and the debates invariably cause him to issue retractions the next day. And out of all of that come Democrat talking points for the fall campaign.
But my main point was that the other Republican candidates are polling better against her now because more voters see them as apples to apple options. Trump is as much or perhaps even more polarizing than Hillary. His fans can't see it and there's no convincing them. But this is my honest opinion.
JG:"able to apply to return legally but that it could take years" NPS That's simply not consistent with Trump's own word 'expedite'.
JG "His choice of the word mandate is unfortunate." NPS It may be unfortunate, but that's what he said.
JG:"He is consistently committed to bringing back our manufacturing base" NPS He certainly SAYS that a lot, but he hasn't DONE it with his own badged products. Just a note here. I work for a company that exports millions of dollars of manufactured products to China, and we import none. When we go to china, we bring mementos to give to good customers. ALL our mementos are US made.
JG "Americans have forgotten how to negotiate" NPS No, Obama has chosen not to negotiate properly.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I do see the media distortions and have made an effort to pay attention. Like you, his positions are ones I agree with, by and large. I would just like one week to pass without him insulting anyone - talk about what and why, instead of who. That’s what has turned off a good many people I know personally. Not pearl clutchers:)
What makes you think that? More and more boots will be made in the US with US specs. Chinese made boots and shoes suck.
I think we’re gonna find Trump and Cruz are pretty close with regard to foreign labor. At least Cruz is proposing a moratorium.
... You should increase your meds, Rubio and Cruz lost the last debate.
He had no idea about the Geneva convention - had to walk that back. Then said he would change the laws, lol - Geneva convention gonna do over for him so he can have the military torture and target civilians? He announced the need for high tech visas - make you happy? He congratulated Rubio for working with the dems on gang of 8. He bragged about his penis. He lied about Trump U.
... I do recognize that Trump is losing ground with a lot of women and religious people with his approach and that his behavior offends them. I hope that in the end, they come around and pull the level for him in November because the alternative is much, much worse.
He can’t change who he is. KS showed Trump is the reason for turnout but not what you think. Record turnout, more votes for Cruz than entire state vote in 2012 - and DT had 23%. High energy against Trump. Difference in polls and votes - Cruz up 30%. Cruz outperformed polls by a minimum of 10 points in all 4 races Saturday and did well on Tuesday. Do you let your kids watch him, knowing he will use vulgar language and make fun of people? He is divisive and has very thin skin.
Trump is the best!!!
Trump stands up for himself, and gives every. indication he will stand up for his Country!
What do you have to back up the assertion he's a phony?
There's plenty of men that I don't like and I have no problem in calling them what they are....and I'm not afraid to say it out loud.
"Don't look now, but while our best conservative is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion. Not as a liberal or a conservative politician, but as a successful red-blooded, can-do American capitalist.", Jim Robinson
He could, if like our current pResident, he read from prompters but his stream of consciousness schtick makes him bounce all over the globe. I don't know if it's creative thinking, ADD, hyper-personality, or what but getting him to finish subject and stay on topic is almost impossible.
maybe he’s just a moron, and those items on his website were written by someone else?
“For the record, Ive heard Ted Cruz enunciate his healthcare plan in these debates”
A politician who has a “healthcare plan” is morally unfit to hold public office.
“Most presidential candidates have extensive political experience and know how to mask their rough edges while projecting a smooth and polished image to the voters.”
Causing today’s voters to lie down on the bathroom floor and puke themselves right to death.
Smooth and polished? Disgusting. Infuriating.
If Cruz wants my vote he’s going to have to get into the boxing ring with me and stay on his feet for three rounds.
Maybe so, but some how he arrives at all of his events using the "moron's private 757". He may not know every policy position verbatim, but the man is not stupid.
Whoever wrote the policy position works for {and is paid by} the moron.
