I believe that Pence WILL KEEP the evangelical voters solid with Trump the evangelicals are a force to be reckoned with on the ground in an election!!! Romney lost the election they did not believe a word coming out of his mouth, they believe Trump he may NOT be their perfect candidate BUT they believe he is an honest man!!! Pence pick solidified this base of folks for Trump!!!!

I saw it. You keep dodging the point. It’s one thing to say that you and Coulter believe Trump could have made a better choice. That’s an opinion, and everybody has one.

The fact remains, however, that in describing a conservative Christian, you resorted to the language of DU. According to the nastier brand of leftists, fiscally and socially conservative Christians are, “losers.” Get it?

1) the media will NOT report what Trump said, regardless

That is correct. So far Trump has given policy speeches on immigration, taxes and economy, foreign policy, and now domestic policy regarding crime and urban revitilization. And the media covered none of it. Yet they still keep saying "he has no specifics". Well at the debates he can cite all these speeches with their very specific policy items and challenge Hillary to show him the policy speeches she made. Which is ... none. It does take the teeth out of the "he has no specifics" if nothing else.

Never underestimate little Kellyanne Conway. She’s much smarter than most political women and not afraid of a fight. My money is on her to help Trump.

I knew her slightly many years ago at the Third Generation lecture series and she was sharp.

He’s “Never Hillary,” and that’s plenty good enough for me.

...”Glad to see you came over to the Trump train...I mean that sincerely”....

Thank you..but make no mistake it was not an easy move. Took much work doing my own investigation of Trump...and self-examination on why we vote to begin with.

What I didn't want to do is just be against Hillary, but that is a good place to start. I needed this decision to be more than that. I wanted to understand the man and his positions....he did not make that easy at the time. Though now of course he's quite clear where he stands, and that he details much more as well.

It wasn't enough either to understand his narcissistic style...many powerful and wealthy men are narcissistic, the difference with Trump is he had not learned the control skills most business men do....and he wasn't really interested in doing so when this was pointed out.

However over the months I believe we've been watching the making of a politician,...and now the making of a President. After all the man is almost 70 and well past the "learning curve" ....but he seems to be taking it on and this without loosing the man that he is.....that's a feat in and of itself.

We all know he's a fighter, and he loves a challenge...and will always be one who equally loves "leverage".....this is playing out as he walks this walk to the WhiteHouse.....and I do think he will be our next President.

Yup. The term “shaking up” is an attempt to infer Trump is having issues with his campaign. The guy ADDED two staff members. Businessmen hire people, and now the pearl-clutches are wetting their panties.

I actually believe that Trump is carrying the Evangelical voters just from those hundreds he met with....and speaking up front and honest with them weeks ago. That was an amazing feat he pulled off....and he showed himself to be a uniter by how he listened and shared with them....Pence was simply the icing on the cake......certainly a perfect cit IMO....they are both remarkable together....Iron sharpening Iron says it well as they both bring the other facets they both glean from one another.

I’ve noted Pence has become much more direct and an exciting individual....he’s pulling in remarkable crowds himself..and they’re growing.

I just want to say this. If Trump wins it would be epic if he appointed Milo Yiannapolous as his press secretary.

That would be grand master level trolling right there.

He is getting ready for the White House.

Trump has more steel and more determination and more will to win than Romney or McCain did, by a factor of 10, at least.

Got a little tired of Rush today.

Andrew Wilkow is what Rush was in the early 90s. He is THAT good. I've stopped listening to Rush (I still read his transcripts) but Wilkow is on the same time slot as Rush.

Limbaugh is bought and paid for by Never Trumpers.

Why did Limbaugh use the snarky term “Trumpbart” when referring to Breitbart”...Nothing wrong with calling it what is is...it's popular now to add hyphenated names to Trumps now...most are pretty use to it and not offended...rather it's identifying with Trump

Trump-baugh?

I made my points, take from it what you wish. I’ll not change my opinion on Pence.

It is noted that you believe a good family man, committed Christian, and a proven fiscal and social conservative is a loser.

I honestly can’t believe people still listen to Rush Limbaugh anymore. Why, when there is so much choice out there?
