National Emergency nor specific budget is required for a wall.

The Constitution just says build the darn Wall for U.S. security.

Yes, I did too! Supported him early against Dewhurst - another RINO.

Loved his stand and filibuster against Obama.

I believe Cruz ran too early for president. He was lifted up on his on petard of conservatives believing he was a constitutionalist. I believed him until he lost the nomination.

I was reluctant against Trump due to all the “conservative” media that then candidate Trump was blah, blah, blah. I was a big time Cruz supporter.

After the nomination, my eyes were opened and I began watching all of Trumps rallies. At that point, I told my husband, he has a chance to beat HRC. My husband could not believe my transformation.

I support President Trump and regret ever doubting him.

You should not have regrets because many conservatives initially thought DJT was in it to divide the party and let HRC waltz into the White House.

I too was concerned about Trump. In 2015 weeks after he announced his candidacy, I set aside a weekend in August 2015 to research at Suzzalo Library’s periodical floor for the sole purpose of digging up information about Trump. This library is much more powerful for research than the internet.

But what I found shocked me. I found dozens and dozens and dozens of examples where Donald Trump quietly and without fanfare worked outside the limelight to help people in need.

If I was to tell each of the stories where Donald Trump helped rescue someone without drawing attention to himself, I would need to write several volumes.

Here’s a little of what I found that I posted to FR in August 2015:

Where was Lee when Obama was going actual rogue? Ironic how so many thought him the ultimate conservative and wanted him for POTUS....turning out to be another Rubio.

I support Trump doing this because if the left is going to cheat, I’m all for fighting fire with fire. But letting him get his order and then restoring a more normal balance is a good idea.


LOL. The next time Thom Tillis “fights fire with fire” will be the first time. When a murderers row of Hillary enabling Never Trumpers is sponsoring a bill you know the worthless GOP Senate is up to no good. It’s that simple.

It doesn’t matter if this Bill is passed or not. The next DEMOCRAT president is going to do ANYTHING he wants.

Or she :-(

Well, not as long as we keep at least one house of Congress.

I have to admit, for anything short of Pearl Harbor, I’m not sure I’m OK with any kind of emergency powers. There is little that shouldn’t see sunlight and debate. Yeah, we need to move on the border, no argument

Traitors, every one. Supporting open borders and mass illegal immigration, while claiming to be conservative. I think Rs that do this are worse than dims. At least you know where they stand.

The Statesman looking for the finest moment in a politician’s life will not find it in the moments of those five, worse than hypocrites Senators, Collins, Murkowsky, the vile Tillis, the idiot Rand Paul and last but not least the surprise back-stabbing, attention grabbing man, who I once respected....Mike Lee.

I am grateful I never bought his book, because I saw hints of what he was for a while now.
