-- The story says he can't really do this. --

Remember Ryan said he couldn't impose tariffs by himself. Well today he quoted the articles that not only said he could but named the Presidents that had done so. Teleprompter are handy for quoting little known facts correctly.

Didn’t he criticize Romney for not letting Rand Paul speak? We’re all Mitts now.

That’s why Trump is getting beat by the criminal Rotten in the polls?

IMO, you’ve been BS’d to the max by Trump. What happened to his wall?

I believe the polls that put HRC ahead of DJT are 100% fiction.

IMO, they are one part of the Elite’s plan to establish HRC as the front runner, so when they commit digitally-altered election voting results on a massive scale, it will be believed as legitimate.

Are you voting for Mr. Trump?

Could be because they are actively working against Trump, don’t you think? They are currently supporting Hillary.

Trump will have a hard time winning the general without Cruz supporters.

If Cruz supporters are too stupid or too petty to see the stark choice this nation is faced with, then they're not conservative in the first place.

After Indiana, Trump immediately reached out to Ted Cruz, said he was a worthy opponent, a tough fighter, and had a bright future ahead of him.

In contrast, it was a bitter Ted Cruz who acted like a petulant child, refusing to congratulate or even mention Donald Trump in his remarks following his crushing defeat in Indiana, and in the days afterwards.

And it is Ted Cruz who continues to delay unifying the Party, or even to honor the pledge he made to support the GOP nominee, regardless of who it might be.

In doing all of these selfish things, Cruz has already done damage to the GOP's chances in November. Apparently, he doesn't care, and is content to see Hillary win so that he can continue pursuing his presidential ambitions in 2020.

Cruz's nickname "Lyin' Ted" was richly deserved. While it may not have been particularly accurate or effective initially, Ted Cruz ended up embodying the label. His repeated, gross misrepresentations of Donald Trump's policy positions simply cannot be called anything but what they were: outright lies.

It's Hillary who will have a hard time winning the general election without the determined indifference of Cruz supporters.

The notion that Trump must do something to "bring Cruz supporters on board" is laughable.

There is absolutely nothing that Trump can do to win the votes of the remaining Cruz fanboys. Those who are still carrying the torch for Cruz will throw their support behind Trump under only one condition: when their conservative messiah gives them permission to by honoring the pledge he made to endorse the GOP nominee.

Vote Trump!

Kasich maybe, Cruz-—not a chance. Rubbish.

Of course. I’m not suicidal. I just don’t like the schoolyard rants he’s famous for, and the fact he seems to have NO understanding of the proper Constitutional role of government.

I love his “schoolboy rants”: ) They are so refreshing to hear, after years of political correctness censorship. But, to each his own.

DJT is a very very smart. IMO, he’s already made considerable progress re: proper Constitutional role of gov’t. (One example: Moving to the correct position of: States Rights wrt transgenders and public restrooms)

As you eluded, there is no choice in who to vote for if we want our nation and its “free” people to survive.

In order for that to happen, every bit of DJT criticism needs to be responsibly weighed as to its negative effects on achieving that goal, before being expressed.

Every bit of support we can give him, online and in person, to every contact we have, will help achieve that goal.

Cheers,
RWL

You know what I mean. There is a way to escape the PC prison without sounding like a punk. Sometimes he succeeds; sometimes not. Re Trump U: He had a gattling gun against a pea shooter and blew it. Had he said that the judge belonged to a radical racist group, and not pointed out that he was “Mexican” without explanation, people would have sided with him. “La Raza” means “THE race”. Explain that to voters, and voila, you win. But he made HIMSELF sound like a racist!

Trump sees the big picture, and fills in the details with his “personality”.

Some may find discussing objections and criticism of these details to be justified.

What they may be missing is, the net effect serves to promote HRC, which is what no true patriot desires.

Sometimes as I consider this nations’ citizens, I wonder about how clueless the average person is, as it relates to just how deeply we have sunk into Tyranny. It’s “soft” tyranny now, right on the cusp of “hard” tyranny, but it’s tyranny nonetheless.

Those of us who ARE “awake” need to do whatever we can to assist in America’s “rescue”. If that means quieting our criticisms of DJT’s style and approach because continued focus aids the Tyrant, then that is one small thing we can do for our country.

Thank you.

>>I wonder about how clueless the average person is

My comment above was in no way meant to describe you, in case you were to think that. It was directed to most of our citizens who aren’t aware, and when we try to clue them in, they are simply not interested.

I know you are far superior to the “average” person, and I appreciate your comments, alstewart fan ; )

NO!!! I did not think you were insulting at all. I think that I am much more informed and logical than the average person, but I’ve never felt “superior” to them. Some political idiots can tear a motor apart and build them back! I can’t! Everyone has some kind of gift, or at least the potential of a gift, IMO.

While Trump is a great man with wonderful ideas, we must elect him to build the Wall. Perhaps you were unaware of that?
