I heard a clip of Palin's endorsement of him, from yesterday. Wow, talk about pandering to the simpleton vote! She's a special contribution to American politics.

I would have preferred Palin to stay away from the election. It is my estimation that her endorsement hurts Trump. It could be a backhanded strategy by one of the other candidates to knock Trump down a peg or two as it has got to be known that being associated in any way with Palin is like peeing on the third rail.

At least she wasn't selling highly classified information to China and anyone else that "contributed" enough to her retirement like Hillary has done.

*shrugs* I guess reality TV stars of a feather flock together. And that a lot of Republicans aren't interested in a bit of substance, or conservative values. Trump is the ultimate RINO.

Maybe the problem is that the Republicans broadened the definition of conservative values to the point that no one really knows what they stand for, any longer. Trends suggest they had little choice; they're having trouble getting young voters. That's been okay, historically, as people tend to become conservative as they accumulate wealth they wish to protect. But the trouble is, a lot of fiscal conservatives aren't social conservatives, and so find themselves alienated by the Pubs' religious wing. And in addition, the Pubs aren't even fiscal conservatives, any longer. They lost that when Cheney convinced them debt doesn't matter. They don't know what they are, and that's a disaster in progress.

And in addition, the Pubs aren't even fiscal conservatives, any longer. They lost that when Cheney convinced them debt doesn't matter. They don't know what they are, and that's a disaster in progress. In a sense, you're right, but it's not the party. It's the Republican rank and file that have broadened the definition to the point where it doesn't matter anymore. Cruz is clearly a conservative. So is Rubio, Carson, Fiorina, Paul and even Jeb. They each represent a strain of it - and there's lots of overlap. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, has been discussing the Trump phenomenon at great length in his blog. He kinda thinks the problem is that people are idiots. Or as he puts it, in politics "Identity beats analogy, analogy beats reason, and reason beats nothing." Trump has identified himself as an American, and he acts like the stereotype. Brash, unapologetic, and arrogant. That's why people flock to him. Not because of his politics, because what he believes no longer means anything to most voters. He's completely supportive of US Citizens and has done nothing to make himself part of a tribe other than the tribe of US Citizens. He has separated himself rather noisily from non-Citizens. But then, that's sort of the point of the job of being President of the United States. Cruz has also done this, but not as effectively as Trump. Hillary (and the left in general) has existed for identity politics for several cycles now. But where Trump identifies himself as an American, Hillary identifies herself as a woman. She has effectively isolated herself from 75% of the electorate. Conservatives won't vote for her, and she's going to lose the male vote in large numbers because she has a track record of belittling them. Ironically, she's also got a track record of belittling women - especially those that have been sexually assaulted by her husband. In other words, she really has no natural team and will likely be destroyed by whichever Republican wins, provided she's not incarcerated first. If Hillary is indicted, Sanders has done a pretty effective job of screwing himself out of everything but the socialist vote. You simply don't win votes with reason. Otherwise you'd probably be pretty thrilled at the upcoming nomination of John Kasich. Or at least someone other than Trump and Clinton. Realistically, when the primaries come to Pennsylvania, I'll be voting for the most viable non-Trump in what will probably be the vain hope that someone will knock him off. In the general election, when faced with a choice between a woman who hates men and can't be trusted with national security and a RINO jackass, I'll probably choke back my vomit and vote for the RINO jackass. Likewise if I'm faced with a choice between a man who thinks the Soviet system was genius and the jackass, I'll probably be forced to vote for the RINO jackass. Just like I voted for the RINO jackass when my choice was between McCain and Obama.

Border Patrol union: 'Trump is the only candidate' to support agents www.washingtonexaminer.com/border-patrol-union-trump-is-the-only-candidate-to-support-agents/article/2586274The largest U.S. Border Patrol union local is praising Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for being the "only candidate" to support their tough mission, an almost endorsement that is the latest boost for the front runner's campaign. "Mr. Trump is the only candidate that has publicly expressed his support of our mission and our agents. He has been an outspoken candidate on the need for a Secure Border and for this we are grateful," said a statement from Art Del Cueto, president of Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council, the representative of 18,000 agents.

How can that be? Trump married an illegal alien not one but two of them.

Cruz supporters ran ads of Trump's wife naked. Now Trump vows revenge against Cruz's wife. How Presidential!

No it's human. You protect your spouse. Can't blame him

He's not protecting his spouse. The ads have already been published. He's just seeking revenge. Theres a big difference between the two.
I'm surprised he didn't say he was going to sue. That's his most popular bullying tactic.

• Trump Supports The 2A more Strongly than Any Previous Republican Nominee www.ammoland.com/2016/06/donald-trump-supports-second-amendment-strongly-previous-republican-nominee/#axzz4BBzkAx3ONot only does Donald Trump support the Second Amendment with stronger and clearer language, he goes into specifics of what he is going to do to help restore the Second Amendment. He often talks about how the Second Amendment is needed for self defense, a topic no other Republican Nominee would touch. From cnn.com: TRUMP: — I promise there wouldn’t have been 130 people killed and hundreds of people lying in the hospital to this day. It might not have happened. Because if they knew there were guns in the room, it might not have happened. But if it did, you would have had bullets going in the opposite direction. And believe me, the carnage would not have been the same by any stretch of the imagination. Trump supports the carry of concealed weapons all over the country with national reciprocity: From the Washington Times: Mr. Trumpmade the arguments in a “position paper” on the Second Amendment in which he makes the case that people who don’t break the law should be able to obtain a concealed carry permit allowing them to carry in every state, and that members of the military should be able to carry their arms on military bases and at recruitment centers. Donald Trump support doing away with federal gun free zones: from cnn.com: And this whack-job walks in and starts shooting and killed all five of them. Gun-free zones. We are getting rid of gun-free zones. OK? I can tell you. Donald Trump says no to Universal Background Checks. From ammoland.com: “I do not support expanding background checks. The current background checks do not work.”

Don the Con will tell anyone whatever they want to hear.
" I support the ban on assault weapons and a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun."

You've had 6 months to digest this post, and still you can't comprehend it. I know that this forum is on it's last legs but if you had to dig around back six months ago for something to post to, maybe it's time to call it a day.

I don't keep up with posts as religiously as some others do. And as for comprehending it, I did so quite effectively, as proven by your response. Your problem is that you support, from afar, a Marxist felon that has committed treason. I will never vote for her, unless I'm on her jury, and can vote for her to spend the rest of her life in the iron bar hotel. Trump is an unknown quantity, Hillary is not. She's a felon, and has been for over 30 years. She is the last thing we need in the WH after the corrupt disaster that The Puppet has been.
