I would like a head count please. For me, no. Trump believes it though. Our GOP front runner running against Hillary Clinton.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-...lts/2016/05/trump-ted-cruz-father-222730

My follow up question later on is, "How many of you believe a kook should have the nuclear codes?"

Nobody.

Trump just said it was in National Enquirer because he knew that Cruz would go on a 20 minute rant on national TV about it.

The more the public is exposed to Cruz, the less they like him.

Trump's people wanted Cruz on TV as much as possible.

I already counted you as one. Listen to Trumps words again. His, not anyone else's in that sound clip.

Who else here?

Bristoe, how does your voting record compare with Mr. Trump? You seem to spend a fair amount of time supporting him here on the fire. Who did you vote for in 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012? Who did Mr. Trump vote for in 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012? Just curious, as you two seem to go way back. laugh

No.....And let's assume that he was with Oswald handing out fliers on a sidewalk somewhere...1963 was a few years BEFORE Ted Cruz was even born.

Trump is a loose cannon and shoots from the hip. No doubt there.

However! He is no kook....

So all of you GOP anti-Trumpsters have a choice.

You will either vote for Trump in order to deny as best as possible a Hillary presidency,,,,,,or,,,,,,,,you will stay home on election day which will help assure a DISASTROUS Hillary presidency...

Swallow your damned prides and vote Trump!

That is the bottom line.

Just heard this today, and just hours after he gets the damn nomination.

Again, how many of you believe this, as Donald Trump believes this?

I would really like to know.

Loose cannon that shoots from the hip, with possible nuclear codes you meant to say.

Sorry, if my brain tells me something is quite odd here for a man who wants to be President of the United States.

.......I myself don't believe the Enquirer story as I stated "no" in my last post. However, I'm not convinced that Trump believes the Inquirer story. I think he exploited it for political reasons to use against Cruz.

Bristoe, you didn't answer the question. You can be the entire GOP and not just it's base, if you want to be. I have never sent them a dime, and never will. I have supported candidates that happened to be republican. So, come on now. Fess up. Answer my original question.. laugh

Trump sounds pretty damned convinced to me. You should listen again. Look at Doucey's face when he says it.

No fan of Trump, but a few hours ago I mentioned I would support him with a vote.

Break:

I am not voting for some kook though. This is beyond whether I like his politics or not. He just informed me and the world that he is a real, bonafide, whack job.

Personally, I don't want you in the GOP. It's not for me to say, but in my opinion, the Republicans who lack the ability to see through the Cruz's of the political world have caused the GOP enough problems.

I won't be encouraging any of you to stay. Go vote Constitution Party, or something. It's got nothing for you to damage, so you'll be harmless there.

Trump doesn't really care if it is true or not. Rafael Cruze Sr was going around saying something to the effect that Cruze was God's candidate. Trump used the story to cast light on the fact that Cruze Sr actually had been a Castro supporter and it is very possible that it is Cruze Sr in the picture with Oswalt. He hoped it would cast dispersions and would set Cruze off and get him ranting like crazed idiot...and it worked smile.
GO TRUMP !

Why "pause"?
He commented on a "news" story.

He was asked specifically about Cruz's father's comments against him

You're overreacting.

If you don't like Trump, let Clinton win.

That's your choice, but don't claim it's because he's a "kook".

That's just parroting what Cruz said:

If I am reading this correctly, you send no money to the GOP party but have sent some to GOP candidates on occasion. This is what I now do, but I have sent to the party long ago before I figured out what they were doing. If you do not help a candidate that you believe in, how do you expect things to get better? miles

You're several months late to the party, pal. The question is no longer whether you want Trump having the codes. The question now is whether you want Hilary having them and everything else that comes with the whitehouse.

I doubt it was him, but it was someone and most likely a Cuban. I'm not going to dig up the Warren Commision report, but I think everyone in that photo has been identified except for that person.

That seems unlikely on its face. If the others in the photo were identified you show them the photo and say, "Who is that guy?" I find it hard to believe that none of them knew who he was. I suspect that it is known but hidden for some reason.

The nuclear code issue and Trump is a Red Herring. Even if it were true that Trump was unhinged, there are just too many safeguards to prevent ONE person from initiating a nuclear strike.

I've said this before, I don't think anyone knows what Trump's true political philosophies are, I can opine he is not a conservative but he is a WINNER and yes, I do worry about what he might do, but the "might" is a lot better than the "for sure" Hillary and the democrats WILL DO and that is enough for me. At least he said he was going to rebuild the military and use it in OUR National Interest and that was good to hear.

I am amazed though at all of you who harped about being "paleo-conservatives" and are now Trump supporters, when he is clearly anything but.

After nearly a year of being the target of Trump and Trumpkins, who could blame him for getting out?

Nothing was out of bounds in this election. Not family. not lies, not anything.

Being a pawn in one of the biggest reality shows in history just doesn't register to many.

Trump and Hillary are in the same boat. Half of the conservatives hate Trump. Half of the liberals hate Hillary.

Problem is, we are all on the same boat...

The name of the boat is the Titanic.

RAS, you're not alone in thinking Trump is a KOOK. He is! It's a shame America has got to this point. If Hillary wins so be it.

For you Trump followers...

Would you be okay with your children growing up like him?

Or you daughter marrying someone like him?

I have always, always been a proponent of nationalism and the "Three P's" strategy, and that is, the protection, preservation and projection of the national interest, which is an anathema to what RP stood for, an almost complete withdrawal of US power projection. That is why I am so amused in a way, that a huge portion of the Trump base are former RP supporters.

Trump needs to get busy though with SPECIFICS on what he plans to do. Hope and Change Make America Great Again sells to the masses, but symbolism over substance doesn't work if one has a modicum of intelligence.

Yeah he is a Kook who spent 900K on his campaign in Indiana while Cruz spent millions. Have you looked at Cruz's fathers background before you typed what you typed? The old man is certifiable, the old man and his son made a lot of really stupid commentary this whole while and no one called them on it , they sure fooled a lot of bible thumpers for sure. A kook does not raise kids like Trump has first of all. There are 2 sides to him Showman and real person. We never get to see the real person.

Jorge has it right. Trump better get his act together if he wants to win against Hillary. He will have to appear to have some real understanding of policy if he wants to win in the general election with a very different group of voters. Just pushing the anger button won't work. I'm not a Trump fan but he's still better than Hillary. As usual, this presidential election is about choosing the lesser of evils.

Since his father is Cuban it is possible, but who really knows. I believe Cruz Father was the other shooter on the Grassy Knoll

that's because you're more concerned with making generic statements to show how superior you think you are than actually thinking about what you type.

Its not even worth getting into it you're so off base on this but suffice to say, RP was very border centric and preached national interest before anything else.

He preached HIS version of the national interest which was, naïve and idiotic. "we don't need overseas bases and a big military when a few nuclear armed subs will do" or words to that effect. His domestic and fiscal policies were sound, but his Foreign Policy was downright stupid and dangerous, but even that is irrelevant. Trump's speech yesterday was completely opposite of what RP's vision of Foreign and the Military was. Border-centric? wow, another spin on isolationism.

I don't give a phug the differences of what he said

He promoted national interest and was border centric. RP preached protecting our own borders every chance he got.

Its pretty easy for anyone that doesn't spout horseshit about the unwashed masses to understand how RP supporters can be attracted to Trumps message.

There is actually quite a few of them that hate Trump as well.

However! He is no kook....

So all of you GOP anti-Trumpsters have a choice.

You will either vote for Trump in order to deny as best as possible a Hillary presidency,,,,,,or,,,,,,,,you will stay home on election day which will help assure a DISASTROUS Hillary presidency...

Swallow your damned prides and vote Trump!

That is the bottom line.

........Oh bullschitt!....Many made that very same damned and stupid argument against Ronald Reagan. (Itchy finger on the nuclear button).

Trump shoots his mouth off,,,,from the hip. Equating that with shooting off nuclear warheads is moronic and idiotic on your part.

Of course idiots like you will always try to justify comparing the two....

How does one respond to that? I wouldn't do it the way Trump did, but if you're going to invoke "God's anointed" status you should be expecting just about anything in response.

We're the GOP base now. If you don't want to be a part of it it's your business.

For anyone to presume to be "God's candidate" is a bit much for me. People that say this sort of stuff usually end being busted for [bleep] little kids or something of the sort.

A better question might be how many care?

Anti-Trump people fought hard and lost. Time to focus upon the one thing we can (presumably?) agree upon; beat Hillary!

I think there is a good chance that with the UAW here and his America First message our state may FINALLY go red!

It's been a while...

It's all about the SCOTUS picks and the second amendment for me. These are things that a POTUS can influence. The national concealed carry is interesting-it's the only way to get freedom for the Calif and NY slaves

Trump will be in town Friday

Gonna try to get in.

I read in a thread about how would you like your daughter marrying someone like Donald Trump??? I am not so sure that would be as bad as your son or daughter marrying Hillary. But that is just me.

My follow up question later on is, "How many of you believe a kook should have the nuclear codes?"


It was in the Inquirer so it has to be true, right? crazy blush
