Not in the least! He's only saying what a lot of Amercans are thinking. I believe Trump loves this country, and like so many of us, he's tired of watching these terrorists aided and abetted by our Muslim in Chief.
I would much rather have Cruz. I trust him and believe he'd honestly do his best to restore our country and it's constitution.
But to be honest, after 8 years of a lying, America hating, treasonous Muslim homosexual, even Donald would be a breath of fresh air!
If he's the GOP candidate, I will be happier voting return I have been for many years. I suppressed a gag doing it for McLain, and held my knows doing it for Romney.
Besides, it's probably gonna be that or a voice between a liar who sold influence (if not secrets) or a socialist who will bankrupt the country.

Hell, we did it with the Atom bomb and Japan caved. Since then we have picked and chosen targets and the only thing we accomplished was the loss of life and limb of our soldiers. The word "conquer" needs to be used more freely and more often. Let Allah sort them out.

Hillary is my enemy. Not Trump, not Ted, not Marco, but HILLARY! Trump is winning, he is more than likely the candidate, if so i wish him well. Defeat that beast!

There is no law that makes it illegal for the US to take out terrorist targets known to be hiding amongst family members.

I have never had a problem with the concept that if you hang out with a terrorist, you die with the terrorist. Your choice.

That doesn't leave enough issue to call it between a pebble and a hard spot... Trump is not my first choice either, but he will be if he gets the nomination.

That's not quite what's being discussed. What's being discussed is the Israeli practice of punitive actions against the families of terrorists, i.e., we're talking about the US adopting it. That's what Trump said he'd do, and I strongly oppose this practice. I still support Trump, because that's how important it is that power be taken from the ruling oligarchy (the members of whom, in reality, are no more concerned about the rule of law than is, apparently, Trump), but let's be clear about what Trump is referring to.

PS Ultimately, Trump is less likely, IMO, to involve us in wars than are the establishment ruled Democrats or Republicans.

If you bread and raise a terrorist, no reason you shouldn't die with one and like one. Reap what you sow.

How many wars has your subservient nation won? Or, do you simply sit back and wait for the "evil empire" to save you yet again?

Heard it best on talk radio last night


Read this GOP power brokers. Based on your performance Americans are voting Trump with their middle fingers


Who are your senators?



Lisa (barely a RINO mostly Dem) Murkowski

and Dan Sullivan ( so far I'm pretty proud of him)


makes me ashamed of my fellow Alaskans that Murkowski got in on a write in after she lost the primary race to Joe Miller (not a fan but he'd have been easier to replace than Murkowski, if we didn't like him and he's a damn site more conservative in his views than she)

So Alaska is indeed half of the problem via our two Senators

Our rep. is Don Young, he's been there too long, but he's conservative


if it's any comfort Pat, Cruz won our sorta kinda primary and yes I voted for him. And according to my sources N. Fairbanks where I live is what handed it to Cruz.

Trump's not my first choice, never has been. But what I despise is us eating our own.

For the first time in my entire life, the Republican Party may nominate someone who I absolutely cannot vote for. It's not about Cruz, it not about getting behind the party. I have held my nose and pulled the level time and time again for people who WERE NOT "my guy". I have never not voted before. I have never wrote in a name before. This comes down to one thing and one thing only. I cannot vote for Donald Trump.

And I guarantee all three of the other folks on the stage wanted to say just that last night. You could see the pain in their faces. And the only reason why they said they would go along was the threat of Trump going 3rd party. That's it.

How many have you won since WWII? Korea peace was never signed. Vietnam became communist country. Afghanistan will fall apart as soon as you leave. Iraq is a mess with part of the country run by terrorists. That leaves what? Granada and Panama invasions?

I'm proud of mine too. Don't you ever get tired of other people blaming you for the problems that they created?

We stopped winning when we started worrying about collateral damage. We stopped winning when we wanted to win the "hearts and minds" of the enemy with kindness instead of winning the hearts and minds like we did in Dresden or numerous other German industrial centers. We stopped winning because in modern America winning is something to be ashamed of.

I'll be proud to have a winning America again and those that want to fight us I'll be proud to watch them burn.

This is true as far as it goes, but I don't think it's a coincidence that we ceased to stomach what it takes to win right about the time we stopped following the Constitutional process for declaring wars.
