Obviously not. I didn’t see the debates Trump supporters watched. I saw the debates the rest of voting America watched.
Don’t know if you get out much and see what’s going on in the world but people have finally started to pay attention after the last few debates and an overwhelming majority do not like what they have seen. It doesn’t matter whether their opinions are right or wrong, liberal or conservative. What matters is that they vote and they are, to a person, appalled that “conservatives” would allow this clown to take the reigns. Truth be told, any Democrat crossover or Independent voters for Trump may... and I say, “MAY” be just enough (but I seriously doubt it) to fill the void left in the wake of any abandoning Trumpers, let alone, a much larger number of fleeing Republicans. And he would be fortunate enough to maintain his 35-40% in a two-way general election against freakin’ Hillary Clinton for crying out loud.
You thought Romney kept Republicans home? Haha! You just wait. Trump is doing his best to smear everyone in range with his crap so that no Republican will stand a chance. And nobody does it better, believe me, he does it the best. World class. Yuuuuuge.
And once again, the cave-dwelling, mouth-breathing faction in the conservative wing of the Republican party want to take everything back in one fell swoop. Instead of going for the a more sure-fire investment opportunity, they’re pinning their hopes on the lottery. Brilliant... Just freakin’ brilliant.
Thanks for your courteous reply. I am glad to learn of a company that is exporting to China. We need trading partners and bidirectional trading.
I do research Trump’s positions and have support for my analysis. In the end we each take some things on faith because of our Gestalt of the person.
The issues you addressed are not my on faith issues. I am not in agreement with Trump’s ethanol issues and there is some faith needed there. In my opinion his views on border security and our illegal immigrant population are the best mix of what can happen and what we want to happen that any candidate has developed.

Donald Trump on Friday made clear that he would repeal all of ObamaCare, including the individual mandate to buy insurance, after saying a day earlier that he liked the mandate.
“I was asked about healthcare by Anderson Cooper & have been consistent- I will repeal all of #ObamaCare, including the mandate, period.”

The question arose at a CNN town hall for GOP presidential candidates on Thursday when Trump said, “I like the mandate,” while also saying he would repeal ObamaCare, which he called a “disaster.”
Earlier on Friday, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) criticized Trump for praising the mandate.
Trump tweeted Friday that he was referring to a “backstop” for people with pre-existing conditions when saying he liked the mandate, without elaborating on what that means. Trump says that people with pre-existing conditions will be able to get coverage under his plan, which is one of the most popular aspects of ObamaCare.
I was referring to a backstop for pre-existing conditions. I will eliminate the law, in its entirety, & replace it w/ something much better.

Trump has come under criticism from some Republicans for previously supporting single-payer healthcare, which is anathema to Republicans. But on Thursday night and again in his tweets on Friday, Trump said he is not proposing a single-payer system, instead putting forward some standard Republican ideas.
He said he favors health savings accounts, which provides some tax breaks on savings used for health expenses, as well as allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines.
He also said his plan will have “private plans,” which are a contrast to single-payer but are also already present on ObamaCare’s marketplaces.
I will replace it with private plans, health savings accounts, & allow purchasing across state lines. Maximum choice & freedom for consumer.

That’s what makes horse races, be well & prosper.
What the hell is a Bob Lonsberry. Would he win an audition for pimple on Trump’s ass.
first Debate-first question-—Mr. Trump...You’ve said women are.....
Just Rosie
Pretty noticeable who started all this cr**.
<><>><
Yup, you have it exactly right. Trump started it by making it into a joke about Rosie.
For the record, Trump has not been changing his agenda radically since last June.
<><><><
Can you tell me the difference between radically changing his agenda and just run of the mill changing his agenda.
You may be the first Trump supporter who admits that he has been changing his agenda.
Have you ever heard Trump enunciate anything articulately, succinctly, or to the point where anyone can understand?
<><><><
I confess my favorite was a few weeks back when he was on the phone with Good Morning America, and he talked so fast and loud that his every word was distorted so you could not begin to understand anything he said.
I was thinking he might want to try the decaf.
I’m a bit concerned that all those touting Trump’s health care plan do not know the difference between Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs, use it or lose it in a calendar year) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs, which carry over year to year and entirely belong to the individual).
HSAs have been legal since 2003.
Trump has been laying out his plans for months...Perhaps English isn't your first, or second language...
LOL
You folks are desperate.
Good luck with that.
Favorite local radio guy Ping.
But you were the one saying that his position had changed, just not radically.
You won’t even address your own commentary, but I’m desperate. Got it. Thanks.
I am a Cruz supporter who is very willing to support Trump, but I think Lonsberry raises some excellent points.
Trump is attracting a lot of potential new voters, but he risks permanently alienating a large number of existing voters that are crucial to his electoral chances.
He doesn’t need to change his message, just alter the way he delivers it a bit to make it more palatable to a wider range of voters. I hope he is up to it, because it sure looks like he is going to be our nominee.
That pretty much matches what I’ve seen too.
Nonsense...
Believe what you want to believe. I’m not wasting more time on folks like you.
Not trying to be nasty about it, but after addressing these things hundreds of times, I’m just fine with you accepting all the negatives you can dream up.
Thank for your comments.
I see nothing there worthy of me addressing.
That’s about it, and I’m perfectly fine with them blathering on in ignorance.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
He has not backed H1-Bs to replace citizens like Ted has. He has not proposed we increase H1-Bs to 500% of what it is today, like Ted did for three years.
He has advocated for some allowing foreign students who graduate from our universities to stay if they are needed.
Those are not the head hunter job replacements of whole departments at Disney or other corporations.
We don’t generally look at school graduates as damaging the job sector.
There is a difference, and you look at Trump and get upset, but don’t think about what Ted was perfectly fine with for over three years.
It was ABSOLUTELY MIND BOGGLING!!! You are right.. you just can’t make it up..
Trump can’t grow up. He is what he is. Childish, selfish and a narcissist.
C’mon. Trump lives at Mar-a-Lago. He doesn’t have to pay for a rental hall.
