You are probably right for a disturbing number of voters. Personality and perception are more important than actual substantive policies. Some people have one (or maybe two issues) they actually care about, and if a candidate pushes their buttons about one of those, it matters. But a fair number don't even have that and it is purely personality. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

There are 2 aspects of conservatism: social and fiscal. While no one is going to confuse Trump with a social conservative lion, he is undoubtedly the strongest fiscal conservative since Reagan (who, by the way, was the most popular President of our lifetime.) The main things that Trump champions: - A strong national defense - Strong borders - Greatly decreasing taxes - Eliminating liberal regulations - Getting the Feds out of education - Greatly reducing the size of the EPA - Trade deals that actually help the USA - Changing the scandal nature of DC - Ending the Johnson Rule attack on religion He preaches this and more every day. He will do so again in just a few minutes in Miami. Show me where McCain or Romney ever championed any of these things. Trump's amazing support from all corners of the nation is coming from the above. We haven't seen anything like it in decades. It's easy to pick at this or that and say you don't like Trump because he doesn't fit your mold 100%. But.....has there ever been, or will there ever be, a President that does fit everyone's perfect mold? The obvious answer is no. But.....is Trump the conservative for whom the nation has been waiting since Reagan? Yes! | |||

Unraveling Democratic deception: Media-backed lies that lifted Obama cannot sustain Hillary http://www.washingtontimes.com...emocratic-deception/ Winston Churchill famously observed, “In wartime, truth is so precious that she must always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” But while imposing its socialist ideals on American society, the Obama White House has established an Empire of Lies that may be unraveling just short of its artfully planned transition to Hillary Clinton. With deliberate support from the media establishment, that history of deception now extends through the last three electoral cycles. First there was the 2008 presidential campaign, which was punctuated by an “expose” in which The New York Times charged that the Rumsfeld Pentagon had managed media coverage of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. In a Pulitzer Prize winning article, the newspaper charged that the military analysts regularly appearing on television news programs had effectively been co-opted by closed-door briefings and VIP trips to the war zones. (Full disclosure: I was one of the military analysts named in the story.) On cue, a cabal of 40 Democratic congressmen, including Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, loudly denounced media manipulation and demanded federal investigations. The Federal Communications Commission, the General Accounting Office and the Pentagon inspector general eventually spent more than 2 million taxpayer dollars over three years and four investigations, all of which conclusively refuted The New York Times story. The Pulitzer Prize was never revoked nor were our tarred reputations ever restored. But a message had been delivered by the newly installed Obama administration. While mainstream media munchkins were often undocumented Democrats, this White House expected their ideological support and would also play hardball whenever necessary. Next, in his 2012 book, “Confront and Conceal,” New York Times reporter David Sanger sustained the media’s instinctive support for the Obama White House, now facing a difficult re-election battle. The campaign was already glorifying a president who had “saved GM and killed Osama.” But Mr. Sanger portrayed an Oval Office James Bond, fearlessly deploying the advanced technologies of missile-firing drone aircraft and devilishly cunning Stuxnet viruses. Dismayed and confused, our once fearsome enemies were now on the run. Sadly, the Sanger story was as dubious as the earlier New York Times expose, disproven both by Benghazi and the explosive rise of the Islamic State. Among President Obama’s dissembling before the United Nations, Mrs. Clinton’s inconsistencies and the serial deceptions of presidential prevaricator Susan Rice, there was enough material for multiple Watergates. But by now the media establishment had been transformed from vigilant watchdog into fawning lapdog. When CNN analyst (and Democratic National Committee interim chairman) Donna Brazile recently leaked debate questions to the Clinton campaign, she was merely repeating some infamous history. In 2012, her CNN colleague Candy Crowley rode to Mr. Obama’s rescue while supposedly “moderating” his presidential debate with Mitt Romney. As CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson wrote in her 2014 book, “Stonewalled,” top White House aide Ben Rhodes and his brother David, president of CBS News, often coordinated their actions. While investigating Benghazi, Ms. Attkisson was also targeted by computer hacking and other dirty tricks as the Obama administration aggressively policed its media monopoly. Finally, having survived Whitewater, Travelgate, her husband’s impeachment and being labeled as “a congenital liar” by essayist William Safire, Hillary Clinton was ideally suited for her 2016 role as crown princess of the Empire of Lies. Even her burgeoning email scandal created few difficulties for an administration that had now developed the manipulation of federal agencies into an art form. With Loretta E. Lynch and Mr. Obama as immediate superiors, it was hardly surprising that FBI Director James Comey gave Mrs. Clinton a pass as “extremely careless” rather than indicting her under the Espionage Act. He probably reasoned that his real job was protecting his agency while voters ultimately determined her guilt or innocence. Matters stood there until last week, no one even imagining that WikiLeaks and the eponymously named Anthony Weiner would provide fresh and damning insights into the empire’s venal underbelly. As Lachlan Markay of the Washington Free Beacon reported last week, “The overlap between Hillary Clinton’s State Department, her family’s foundation, and a consulting firm run by members of her inner circle has reaped a windfall for all involved, steering tens of millions of dollars to the Clinton family .” Mr. Comey suddenly reopened his investigation because he remembers the Teapot Dome scandal as well as the more recent example of the Nixon tapes. He also understands the constitutional significance of the term, “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Consequently, we stand today at a legal and practical precipice, a logical position after eight years in which our core media and government institutions have been systematically subverted. Bottom Line: There is no way to predict the outcome of what may be the greatest American political crisis since Watergate, possibly even the Civil War. • Ken Allard, a retired Army colonel, is a military analyst and author on national-security issues. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

I heard from a stranger, Hillary may have been cloned. I cant imagine there being more than 1 Hillary. Would Trump be able to fend off attacks by multiple hillarys ?  I have faith and believe he would. He is my T Rex and the clones are his snacky. | |||

And he will spend whatever it takes to do all that! And cut taxes, too! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

With a growing economy, one that is producing a lot of tax revenue, and greatly reducing the idiotic money we now spend on welfare and other handouts, it is indeed possible. The liberals seethe at the mere mention of the term "trickle down economics" but it is the only plan that has ever worked in the history of man. It is at the heart of what Trump wants to do and it will work if given a chance. The only large expenditure item in his core proposals is the military. The others all MAKE money. The only way it can work, obviously, is with a Congress that is willing to get behind it. Trump has proposed a plan that will at least stop the bleeding in entitlement spending that could work....if given the chance. Without a willing Congress, and a willing populace, he (as any President would be) is doomed from the start. Reagan had that for a short time, and his plan worked beyond anyone's wildest dream, until the Democrats were once again in a position to kill it. And they did. A large part of whether Trump has a chance to be successful will be how well he "sells" his ideas to the people in the first 100 days. His 1st SotU address will be critical. Congress slime will have to feel that they have cover back home before they'll agree to get on board. Reagan was a master at getting the people to march to his tune. I think Trump has that same communication ability. He is a masterful motivator when he speaks. If he can sell his vision to the people, Congress will fall in line. If the media destroys any chance of that happening, then we are again doomed from the start. No one is saying it will be easy. | |||

No, Trump isn't the "more conservative/real conservative" candidate that many clamored for after McCain and Romney, that was Cruz - a "true conservative" dream candidate by all measures, who was handily and decisively beaten during the Primaries - thus, hopefully, forever squashing that silly notion that all we needed was to run a "real conservative". Trump is Trump, and decidedly neither *that* brand of conservatism (which while laudable and understandable is but the preference of a loud and vocal minority), nor is Trump an establishment goon, he's a conservative enough, populous enough, nationalist, and that's about it, I suspect, which is much better than any other current alternative. I'm happy to have him. Wall/etc or not. The only other feasible alternative is Hillary. | |||

Checking back in real quick before I vote (I'm standing in line) to see if DJT is actually the antichrist. No? Ok then...  Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

Please....not....again.  There is absolutely nothing about Cruz that made him a "true conservative dream candidate...." He would have been a disaster. What a ridiculous thing to say. The American people have begged for a true conservative for 28 years. Trump isn't perfect but he's the closest we've had for a very long time. He may not be anyone's social conservative hero but social isn't what we need right now. We need a fiscal conservative and that Trump can definitely bring to DC. Cruz? My God....... | |||

I love how the graph references Trumps "lewd" remarks, but makes no mention of Hillary's FBI investigation. No bias there. | |||

The American people have wanted a true conservative for decades. Will you be voting for Cruz on Tuesday? Maybe it's you who needs to do some thinking. You are free, however, to write in Cruz as your choice when you vote..... | |||
