User ID: 71555571 United States 03/18/2016 02:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Terrifying right? Some days I feel like he has infiltrated the GOP just to GIVE Hillary the Presidency. What's even worse (to me) is that Marco Rubio had been fighting against the Clinton family since 1996! He was even actively protesting against Bill Clinton BEFORE he became President. And everyone just attacked Rubio and forced him out. The guy who spent the past 2 decades of his life trying to stop them from gaining ANY power. [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] Ted Cruz is *obviously* not my first choice. But I will be voting for him in my state because this whole mess of an election is just one big joke at this point. People who are intimidated by you talk bad about you with hopes that others won't find you so appealing. Rubatosis - n. the unsettling awareness of your own heartbeat, whose tenuous muscular throbbing feels less like a metronome than a nervous ditty your heart is tapping to itself, the kind that people compulsively hum or sing while walking in complete darkness, as if to casually remind the outside world, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here. The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. ~ William Penn I understood myself only after I destroyed myself. And only in the process of fixing myself, did I know who I truly was. Revenge is not in my plans. You'll fuck yourself on your own. |

Much like the dens begging for their king. I do not like Cruz or the other establishment rhinos, who will make no changes either. What is one to do beside stay home and watch the fallout? What do you, ST, believe would happen under a Trump presidency? Quoting: Emmieaz 71580540 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Elections are for Ideology, not revolution. Trump will never be voted in, but the people that vote for Trump will vote in their own demise...

They have claimed that so-called moderates are some how conservative and worse, have accepted and pushed progressive statists to leadership roles instead of convincing them to be conservatives for so long now that progressive liberals are flooding to the rhetoric of Trump without any concern for conservatism whatsoever. Trump isn't the destruction of the party, he is the end result of their decades long promise of conservatism and backstabbing progressive statism. The only problem the elite have with Trump is that he has proven to be completely uncontrollable and they are getting burned alive by the fire they have played with far too long. Karma's a bitch GOP. Enjoy your footnote in the history books next to the Whigs. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Perhaps he is telling "straight white voters everything they want to hear" and why shouldn't he? Are we straight, white people not part of this country too? Are our political, social, and cultural concerns of no merit? Are we to be ignored to make up for some perceived wrong of the past? Bullshit to all that. He - and every other candidate - damn well better speak to us! You then spew ". . . what Trump is preaching is not Conservatism, it's not less Government, it's not less encroachment, it's not less...it's more. More authoritarianism, more racism, more division, more crazy isolationism." Nonsense. Complete nonsense. I challenge you to back up your assertions with facts and examples. What _I_see is Trump finally doing what we The People have been demanding for three decades: Secure the southern border. Is that your definition of "racism?" Because securing the border with Mexico cannot be "racism." Mexico is a country, not a race. Besides that most-obvious fact, the southern border is where far too many people from far too many places, enter this country without permission. Is THAT your point about racism? Because if it is, you're wrong again. The people crossing that border are not the Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists, Mathematicians and Rocket Scientists. They are people who are ESCAPING THEIR PAST. They are - by a large majority - criminals fleeing justice. Outcasts fleeing the scorn of their communities, usually for certain unacceptable behaviors. That's whose crossing the southern border and I don't want them here. These are facts, and they are further borne-out every day in this nation, as those folks go on to commit criminal acts here, too. Oh, and let's not forget that most wonderful of activities at the border: Drug smuggling. Tons and Tons of cocaine, Heroin, Crystal Methamphetamine, Ecstasy and Marijuana are shipped through the porous border every single day. With a wall, we stop all of those things from coming here as easy as they have been coming. I want the wall built. That's not racism, or authoritarianism; that's obeying the Will of the People. So, SaddleTramp, if I've missed your point, please enlighten me. |

Trump has actually been relatively evenhanded in doling out cash to the two parties, but since 1989, he’s contributed over $350,000 more to Republicans running for federal and state offices, campaign finance records show Data from the Federal Election Commission and state elections offices provided by the two websites show that Trump has given $584,850 to Democrats and $961,140 to the GOP over the last 26 years.

The New World Order globalists built it. So you your pissed that the people are choosing to have Trump sit on the throne of power. At least the power will be taken out of the NWO hands for four years. And I still think Trump will use that power to dismantle the NWO. You gonna apologize to us in the next four years when Trump starts tearing apart the fed government and throwing out the old power structure? |
