This is a reason to vote for Ted Cruz? Is it supposed to be “conservative” to think that the USA should be a lot more involved in stopping the Russians in Ukraine, when the Germans are doing nothing at all? I did not read of a single shot fired by a Ukrainian in defense of Crimea. Maybe there were shots fired but it never made any news I saw. So the “conservative” position is supposed to involve being more concerned about the defense of Crimea than the Ukrainians were / are? Similarly, we pay far more of our GDP on defense than does any other NATO member even though every one of them is far closer to Russia than we are. We even put more our GDP into defense than do Russia’s near neighbors the Baltics and Poland (which are great countries BTW!) - so once again Trump is correct that we are being asked to do more heavy lifting than the people with a far more immediate self-interest. NATO’s time has come and gone - but like any government program, it is very hard to shut down.
Libertarians for Trump is now a thing: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/03/walter-e-block/libertarians-trump/
Agree.
What “conservative” politician made these statements and signed into law a bill that prohibited open carry?
“Americans don’t go around carrying guns with the idea they’re using them to influence other Americans. There’s no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.”
“Everybody get ready to unload their guns now.”
He also signed a bill that legalized abortion on demand.
In addition, he also signed a bill that legalized millions of illegal aliens.
Guess who.
Europe is kaput.
Reagan’s America was facing Soviet Communism. We are not. The Cold War is over.
What a misleading headline.
This is the primary reason that the neo-con artists are foaming and frothing at the mouth over Trump. They’re afraid that when they inevitably start howling for yet another was in the Middle East, a President Trump might not be so willing to send American men and now women, too, to die in a yet another war that has nothing to do with our own interests.
It’s Pro-Cruz in the sense that Cruz would be a continuation of Neocon Bush foreign policy.
Cruz is no where near Reagan. Cruz is for Bush Republicanism. He is nothing other than what has ruined us for years.
A vote or Cruz is a vote for Bush.
No thank you!
Again, I must have missed something. Did Trump declare that we needed a smaller military and a less secure world?
Yes! Thank you for posting the truth!
If you feel strongly about your future and your country you will fight if not dont look to us to fight your battles
I remember George W. Bush promising in a campaign speech that he would not engage in “nation-building” and using that term specifically.
Times change. Needs change. Circumstances change.
But it would be nice to take care of our own for a while.
Let nations build themselves. They can use our Constitution for a template.
This is a reason to vote for Ted Cruz?
Of course, don’t you get it? If Donald Trump doesn’t want to further bankrupt the country and send troops to die in social experiments cooked up in posh lounges by “conservative” Washington think-tanks, he obviously hates the troops and the military.
I agree with him. It’s past time that the Europeans paid their fair share.
If he proposes leaving the UN, Ill man his phone banks.
