“I’m enjoying the Trump ride as much as you are, but why are you hatin’ on Walker?”

I don’t hate Walker. I don’t trust him and I don’t agree with him. In addition I think he’s going to be a very weak candidate in a general election. I’m sick of losing. He will lose.

why don't you list your accomplishments and those of your lawyer politician favorite candidate who has done what read a speech written by some flunkie and that's it a speech,.

Unlike you, I have something called critical thinking skills, and so don't have your slavish and abject devotion to any particular candidate. Nor am I interested in your brand of hero-worship. I'm still undecided who I will support, if anyone, from the current crop of candidates.

What I wonder is what you and the other Trump-bots will do when your hero does another about-face and goes from attacking illegal immigration to attacking those who want to restrict it. You don't remember Trump calling immigration restrictionists "heartless" and accusing them of "alienating Hispanics" back in 2012, or his donations to the Clinton's Foundation? My what a short memory and attention span some people have. Love must truly be blind.

I'm not into any hero worship. I just want the best one to that can fix the mess this country is in. Trump is already affecting the country by making people talk about real problems like illegal immigration and their crimes.

You idiots think that by slandering and lying against trump that you will get one your slimy weasel lawyer politicians in who are all just bought and paid for whores. and a mental midget like you can't see the obvious difference between Trump and the rest of these politicians/whores/maggots.

none of these other idiot weasel politicians nor you could ever run a small business or even a lemonade stand much less a multi billion dollar business empire. it really shows how dumb you are .

You think you are being something by giving idiotic slander against great businessman who has 4 billion dollars.

you are just a little nothing, a little bug who has never accomplished nothing and never will have anything nor be anything in this immense universe.

As opposed to all the great things you've accomplished. Since your posts are barely coherent, I'm guessing that you haven't gotten very far at all.

and a mental midget like you can't see the obvious difference between Trump and the rest of these politicians/whores/maggots.

Since Trump was attacking politicians for being too harsh on illegal immigrants just 4 years ago, I think the "whore" label fits him like a glove. Are the two neurons in your head really so addled with love for your hero that you just ignore his opportunism and past history of liberalism?

Oh sure, you're not into hero worship at all. Get yourself a pair of kneepads, maybe Trump will hire you as an intern.

you will get one your slimy weasel lawyer politicians

Who is my "slimy weasel lawyer politician"? I've repeatedly said that I don't like any of the current crop of candidates and may not even vote in the primaries. Unhinged headcases like you tend to project: you worship Trump, so you assume that anyone who doesn't like him abjectly worships some other candidate.

I don't trust Walker either, he talks out of both sides of his mouth on a lot of issues, including immigration. The question is, why do you trust Trump? Just a few years ago he was attacking Republicans who opposed amnesty as "heartless." Now he's saying the opposite. Why are Trump supporters standards for consistency and honesty in their candidate so much lower than the bar they set for everyone else?

That’s a fair question. I will tell you that I personally intuit that Donald Trump looked around and saw the same thing a lot of the rest of us are seeing. The absolute destruction of our country by a bunch of Communists. I think he does not like it and would like to make things right.

Is Trump the most conservative candidate ever? Probably not but this year I think he is the most earnest. I’m sick of voting for these guys who are supposed to be conservative only to have them turn around and betray me.

I do not think Donald Trump is for gay marriage or for abortion but he is not going to be out there crusading agains’t them night and day. Right now both are the law of the land and the President cannot change it.

So If Donald Trump will secure the border, bring jobs back, fix the Veteran’s administration, build up the military and get rid of Obamacare that’s a good start.

I have no problem letting Donald Trump have four years to see what he can do. We wasted eight years on GW Bush.

If it took him this long to realize this, that doesn't speak too well of him. Why did he think that unlimited Third World immigration was just fine 4 years ago (even the mealy-mouthed Mitt Romney was too "hardline" for Trump on immigration), whereas now he's vocally opposed to it? It's possible that he's had a change of heart, but a more likely explanation is that he has no real political convictions at all on this or any other issue, and just says things that stir up controversy and keep him in the media spotlight. That's my take on him, and I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise.

That's fair enough, I don't think these should even be Federal issues to begin with. Or at least they weren't Federal issues, until the SCOTUS decided to make them so with Roe v. Wade 40+ years ago and Obergeffel vs. Hodges today. I'd rather these social issues be dropped from Presidential campaigns altogether and left to the states - Presidents should focus on appointed SCOTUS justices who won't legislate from the bench and ignore the 10th amendment.

You may have a point here - George W. set a pretty low standard for what it takes to be called a "conservative Republican." Now Jeb is trying to set it even lower. That's why I find this election cycle so depressing: the GOP front-runners are either Democrats Lite (Jeb, Rubio, etc) or (IMO) a sensation-seeking showman for whom politics is just another reality show (Trump).

Well...

He did sign into law, since you wrote that, one of the strongest fetal protection bills in the nation.

He did arm the Wisconsin guard in response to the shootings.

He may not be the biggest talker ala Donald Trump, but he's got it where it counts.
