Glad you joined the party. Was starting to feel like the Lone Ranger.
You're not alone in your thinking. If I were going to vote for who would get the most done, it would be Trump. Too bad what he will get done is more of the same from the last 8 years. No doubt he is successful and doesn't take any pooh pooh from anybody but he is saying whatever it takes to win. He knows how to play the media and keep the attention on himself.

He has never said how he will pay for his wall other than Mexico will pay for it and he's great.

He has never said government is too big or has it's nose in too many citizens's business. In this regard it's the same statement you hear from people pushing the socialist agenda. It will work if we have the right people in place or the current people in office are idiots.

He know politicians cause he's been paying them off for years.

When asked about anything specific he resorts to 3rd grade name calling.

The people dying in the streets comment is the same rhetoric that the socialist engineers (think liberals, or black lives matter people) use. I think that statement was a slip that revealed a little truth to his real thought process.

The Clinton's were at his wedding and up until this year, he had nothing bad to say about Hillary. How much money you think he gave the Clinton Foundation? Once that comes out it will be like Romney trying to talk bad about Obamacare.

All he has done is replaced "hope and change" with "I'm great and I'll make America great again" and there's a bunch of people that think he's actually going to do something different.

No matter who is elected, the 2 party system needs to disappear. It has done more damage overall than even Obama.

Parabelum, I'm glad you care so much about America. I wish all of the immigrants had your mentality instead of a handout.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

:iagree: This is why Cruz is our only hope. Don't give me the bull about he's an insider. He stands for the Constitution and Trump stands for Trump. If tonight, so far, is an indication of the rest of the primaries we will have a Trump/Clinton November and Clinton will win that. This country as we once knew it will be lost forever. Why why why are people so blind to the real Trump. We the people as a whole will deserve everything we get from a president Clinton II or a president Trump. God help us!

Trump just lied again about his plan for amnesty. He just said he would not negotiate and allow some to stay.

He can't keep up with his stories.

Show of class.

Trump comes out and actually compliments Cruz, and Cruz right away takes a jab at Trump.

Echoes the sentiment here.

My level of respect for Cruz and his supporters just went down a notch.

Come on. Don't go there. Trump said tonight be would not negotiate on amnesty after he admitted he would negotiate on amnesty after it came out he was caught on tape he said he would. Just in a couple days he has flip flopped multiple times. How are you going to feel when he flip flops on an issue important to you?

You keep getting awfully close to making personal attacks and insults and that is getting old. I have made sure to keep my comments directed at the issues and candidates.

By the way, Cruz came out and congratulated Donald. Did he not?

A President Trump would be just about as bad as another President Clinton. How can you possible think a candidate who seems not to have much concern for the constitution could actually help this country? This country was founded on our constitution, a document not to be changed to "fit modern times" but that is timeless. We must follow it or America with become the country from which you came. How can you possible think that is a good thing? We have only one constitutional candidate and he is our only hope to stop the downward fast track we are on. If voters cannot see this, then apparently the majority of this country want communism or socialism.

Do you want a fundamental change in this country, to be like your home country, because a vote for Trump will help fulfill your wish.

Sir, you boggle my mind.

We will just have to agree to disagree Mojo.

Cruz flip flopped as well, and no, that doesn't mean that two wrongs make a right.

All of the enmity towards Trump in this thread ought to be directed at Hillary.
Trump did everything that RNC wanted him to do, and now that he's pulling ahead they are in panic trying desperately to pull the rug from underneath him.

As far as "my level of respect towards Cruz and his supporters just went down a notch"
comment; Well, the sentiment I'm getting from this thread is that no matter what Trump does will be enough for Cruz supporters to coalesce around him if and when he gets the nomination, and that's disturbing as it will surely hand the WH over to HRC, ensuring the slow dance of death for our Country.

That is pretty insulting, you know. It reaffirms what I typed to Mojo.

You have no idea what you are talking about, and rather then getting into it I'll just say this, my family and I have put quite a share of blood and loss for this Country proudly, I'm not a clueless schmuck, sir.

Do you not realize this country was founded on a constitution without which we will become a socialist or communist country? I am afraid Trump will trample the constitution just the same as Clinton will and Obama has. I would think you of all people could see this based on your past life experiences. It kind of seems you do not understand the importance of our constitution. I did not call you a clueless schmuck nor do I think you are.
