The case being in a state supreme court is a pretty big deal.

Nikos!

How’s it going? I’m at home decompressing from the past few days- wow! First things first- I’m humbled by the kind words you’ve chosen to use in your tag line. I might be spurred on a bit, to clean up and update my profile. Thank you. It’s good to be amongst my own kind. ;0)

I spent Monday and Tuesday at the Phoenix Trump (Get Out the Vote) HQ’s, making phone calls practically nonstop, encouraging AZ. voters to go to the polls and vote Trump. According to the staff, they had not encountered such enthusiasm nor seen the kind of results that said enthusiasm produced, in the previous GOTV efforts, that all of them had participated in, such as Louisiana, and Nevada.

I’m posting a link to an article I just found at the Trump site- it is a really powerful message and is spot on. I encourage everyone to take a moment out of your day, and read this article. I’m going to check with FR to see if the article can be posted in it’s entirety here at FR. Perhaps, it is worthy of it’s own thread? It’s that good. I’ll post it here first- if permitted.

I agree, there’s been a definite change in strategy that keeps people on their toes. I noticed that in Bloomington, IL. The rally was planned just 24 hrs before hand.

It would/could go direct to SCOTUS. The decision will be by the highest court in a state. But it will be up to the loser to decide how to proceed. Bush v. Gore went in more than one direction, with the final SCOTUS case being a direct appeal from FL Supreme Court ruling.

Trump Revolution Could Be More Incredible Than Reagan Revolution

Town Hall

If Donald Trump becomes president, we may witness something more incredible than the Reagan Revolution.

The greatest modern-day president, Ronald Reagan, left an immensely powerful legacy. Almost three decades after his departure from the White House, he remains the conservative standard-bearer of the Republican Party.

Under his presidency, the United States witnessed a grand political realignment toward conservative foreign and domestic policies. Reagan’s leadership boosted morale, confidence, patriotism, America’s economy and ended communism.

It has been difficult to conceive of a presidency that would trump the revolution of Reagan.

Until now.

Much is different, including the times, the threats, the challenges and the world.

While it may have been unimaginable to generations of America that lived through the Carter years, America is in much worse shape than she was then.

Seven years of a president that has deliberately diminished America at home and abroad, in accordance with his worldview, beginning and ending with apology tours, has taken its toll.

Patriotism has become politically-incorrect, and libeling America at will has become acceptable. Believing in American exceptionalism is now considered culturally-obtuse and academics at elementary, middle and high schools, along with college campuses, intentionally and recklessly paint America as a hateful, bigoted and oppressive place.

Political correctness, once born on college campuses, now weaponized by the leftist cockroaches that inhabit and preside over social media, has become a way of life. America is now in a race to become another European country, aspiring for mediocrity, resenting success, with all the self-loathing and suicidal inclinations we see in that continent.

There is a war on America. A war on Christians. A war on white, middle-class men and women. A war on anyone with traditional views on marriage, the environment, patriotism and life. We lose our jobs. We miss out on opportunities. We’re canceled as speakers or disinvited from social gatherings.

Enough is enough.

A President Trump would change that.

Every day ordinary people in America and around the world have been shunted and vilified from the mainstream. This is despite our moral and philosophical compass being common-sense conservatism.

Trump is going to give free-thinking conservatives the run of the table.

No more mainstream leftist censorship from social media.

No more political correctness for the sake of social engineering.

Just freedom.

This could be more incredible than the Reagan Revolution.

Imagine.

No more libeling of America.

God and patriotism back in schools.

Trump will reset the Obama presidency and its malefactors. Trump will transform the party to that of a coalition of blue-collar conservative workers and evangelicals Christians who want the US to halt the war on Christianity.

A Trump presidency would be Culture War Ground Zero. With the disgraceful riots of Chicago a couple of weeks ago, Trump has emerged as the consensus leader against the Left.

Many don’t get it.

They don’t get it that Trump is there to give them a leg up rather than be screwed over constantly by those who look down at them.

The Republican Establishment of today is the same as the Rockefeller crowd of the 70s.

As Brussels amply showed yesterday, the West is staring into the barrel here.

The Republicans in this millennium have only won the popular vote once. And that was by less than one percent. If they had a coalition of white conservatives voting for their own interests, they would win in landslides.

Like Reagan.

Reagan Democrats win landslides. Imagine making them a permanent fixture of the Republican voting base. The Democrats haven’t changed one person’s mind -they changed the electorate instead.

As I have traveled throughout America, so many have told me: “Trump is our man”. He’s the guy, they say, that has come to save the world from the path of self-destruction by the vices of our own virtues.

America needs to pull one for mankind, and seal this one for Trump. For those who can’t see it yet, the Trump revolution will sweep them away

I had thought that Bush/Gore went directly from FSC but wasn’t possitive.

I think I kept it on there longer than expected, I’m sorry if I embarrassed you.

Thank you for the article. Many of us have been a bit depressed of late. Cruz is pulling every phony trick in the book here of late.

I checked the “do not post” list and Townhall wasn’t on the list, so I posted the article in it’s entirety. See post # 2,171. I gave Townhall credit. The author is due credit too. I’ll see if I can find the author’s name. I’ll be right back.

I agree with every word of this article.

IF Ted Cruz represents the kind of conservatism we need, then maybe I’m not a 100% conservative.

Trump is a common sense conservative. It seems to me, that common sense tells you that if a certain group of people threaten to do you harm, then you protect yourself from those people.

In WWII, we inturred the AMerican Japanese to camps, knowing full well that probably 99% were law abiding.

It’s easy to look back from our sofa to ridicule this decision, but Americans were scared back then.

Islam, today poses a real threat, that can no longer be ignored. Why bring these people into our country when they’ve declared war on us? Personally we don’t fully know what’s in the heart of those already here, but nothing we can do on that now.

Think about this:

You bring in 1,000,000 Hindus to America and the Country will be better.
You bring in 1,000,000 Buddists to America and the Country will be better.
You bring in 1,000,000 Jew or Christians to America and the Country will be better.
A 1,000,000 Chinese, Swedes and Greeks and we’re better off.
Bring in 1,000,000 Muslims and the country will be worse off.

Why can’t we allow the best of the best to come live here with us?

Trump is a common sense conservative.

Amen...and, he's explained that, time and again.

I'm tired of faux conservatives. I want common sense.

It took me a while, but I learned a lesson about giving and receiving... If somebody wants to give you help, a hand up, a compliment, a loan, an offer to pick up the check, an unexpected gift, whatever it is- take it! In denying the person’s offer, you deny them the pleasure that comes by participating in the exchange of giving and receiving. I accept! ;0)

May I paraphrase Jesse who is on out# today
The picture of Malania may have been a “liability” in Utah but in the other 49 states it’s a winner for Trump!
