Maybe its old school but I have truly suffered under Mr Obama,He had prolonged this downturn so long that it may be impossible to get back on my feet.

There are what? 17 candidates.... I will do what Ive been doing ever since Ronald Reagan’s second term

I will vote for any of them if they make it through the primaries. (maybe even including Trump although I can’t guarantee it right now)

As far as the primaries are concerned I will have to see what way the winds are blowing when I cast that vote.
I will be voting for what I perceive to be the most conservative candidate who has a chance at winning and who needs my vote.
Right now that would be ABT (anybody but Trump)

Who else now even has a chance besides Trump? It could change some in the coming year, but unless Trump makes a MASSIVE mistake (always possible) I don’t see anyone else coming close.

It’s funny that you’d choose Jeb over Trump. That says a lot.

The only reason I’d vote for Jeb is if I knew my business would benefit from cheap labor.

You have to admit there is a fairly serious split on FR. It saddens me but you guys seem to wallow in it because for you the so called GOPe is a bigger enemy that the liberals....
..........................................................

What is the matter with you? Can’t you see that the GOPe HAS SOLD US OUT to the Liberals. The GOP has control of the Senate and the House and all they have done is pad their own pockets and vote with the Liberals on every important issue. They have given Obama everything he wants. So YES the GOPe is a bigger enemy than the liberals because we have to clean our own house and throw the RINOS out! THEN we can deal with the liberals.AMERICA hs HAD ENOUGH!

Yeah. We’ve been sold out by the likes of John Boner and Turtleface. Anyone who’s ok with the GOPe are suffering from a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome.

I can impugn any and all that I want...... but I am making an effort to look at your side of the fence.

I still respect Rush Limbaugh . I would say of all the voices out there his is the closest to what you guy’s think. He has marveled at Trump but he won’t call him a conservative.
I simply do not agree with Rush on this however and I think if Trump survives Limbaugh will rue the day that he was as supportive as he has been.

But around here Im accused of being Karl Rove because I honestly do not hate him or anyone in the so called GOPe as much as I dislike Obama and other “progressives”

Another “nothing new here” anti-Trump thread. We know Trump gave to Rats & GOP critters. He has freely admitted this & clearly stated the reasons why he did so.

As long as Trump continues to speak truth to power he’s going to get my vote. As long as he exposes the MSM for their evil & partisan bias to progressivism, he gets my vote.

If he falters (doubt it) Cruz is still in the race :)

You don't have a lick of sense.

Pass the biscuits, please.

You're right, caddie.

10 bonus points if anyone can guess the song reference above.

Trump officially was a Democrat from 2001 to 2009, so when he told Wolf Blitzer in 2004: “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat,” he was telling the truth.

What an ignorant and based article, but you’re a paid Walker hack, so you are glad to see it and to post it here.

Trump’s bankruptcies involved commercial real estate in the 1990s, when the savings and loan crisis (facilitated by the Keating Five, including John McCain) ruined commercial RE. We had the Resolution Trust Corp, through which taxpayers paid hundreds of millions to buy out and dispose of failed banks and RE projects. That, rather than completely unrelated public companies in other industries is the context for understanding Trump’s moves and situation. It was very, very common for big RE entities to go through that then.

This article is embarrassingly bad and biased.

Trump has the nation talking about the mess we're in, s...

Trump has us (and himself) talking about TRUMP.

The other candidates were talking about all these issues.

Skills?

Like how to convince people to invest in you and then leaving them holding the bag while you remain solvent.

Those skills?

No I cannot see that In fact rather than see what you call the GOPe I see a lot of standard politicians who do what standard politicians have always done, they try to get themselves elected

Then once elected they do the best they can . Its just the best they can is not as good as it needs to be against people as ruthless and non law abiding as Obama.

I think our only hope is by electing enough conservative politicians to control the congress and the executive branches of government we are able to undo what Obama has done

You are totally in the bag for the RINOS. You have quite made it evident.
Unfortunately, your indoctrination will cost you dearly as it did in the last two elections. Some of us have learned and won’t go that road again.

“You don’t get it. Trump is a liar and will say anything to get elected, kinda like a politician.”

I do not like many things about Donald Trump. I do not gamble and don’t like casinos however they are legal businesses. He is not my first choice for the nominee though since I live on Guam and cannot vote for president it really doesn’t matter.

That said:

Trump may be many things but a liar is not one of them. No one in business can consistently lie and succeed. Being trustworthy is an essential part of a successful businessman.

He has changed positions on many issues and has explained why he has done that on some of them. It is unjust to refuse to accept his explanation and consistently refer to previous positions without referencing the explanation for the change. In every case he changed his mind well before his presidential run.

For example, he has said that as a business man he would donate to politicians to gain influence with them regardless of party. Since he lives in a demonratically controlled state most of his donations would go to demonrats.

The demonratic party has moved considerably to the left over the last 15 years. There are probably lots of people who would have said they tended to be demonratic 15 years ago but no longer believe they are demonrats

Trump is running on one or two issues. He has said he will control the illegal immigration problem and to roll back the tide of PC speech which prevents honest discussion of problems. If he does nothing else he will have aided the US immeasurably. He will at worst be no worse on other issues than other candidates. Take the two issues that can be fixed and fix them completely.

Just my thoughts

Really? He supported hillary, pelosi, reid, unions, the democrats, abortion, gun control, Obama care and any number of other leftist causes. Now he’s a conservative?
