Bill Whittle on Trump

[JohnR]

...one boondogle construction project on the southern border. Maybe he'll also get a few little Guatemalan ladies who clean rooms at Motel 6 deported.

If that's all Trump end up accomplishing, it'll be because of Congress getting in the way. Blame Congress for that.

[Redstate]

... They're concerned because they think Trump will lose and make the whole R party look so bad that it will bring down Rs running for other offices. ...

...

The republican party already looks bad. As far as I am concerned, I am through with voting for the establishment type.

I'll disagree with that in that I will be voting for Trump to be effective in all aspects as the Chief Executive. The blame games are over. Within reason, if he doesn't get things accomplished, it's on him.

He'll struggle. He can't be bought but the congress and senate need to approve any of his plans unless of course he pulls and Obama and uses executive orders a LOT. The congressman and senators are still on the payroll of the puppet masters so he'll struggle.

No matter who is elected, they will struggle. Course if Clinton wins it just won't matter.

Trump could legitmately and effectively use executive orders for the purpose for which they are designed. He could on day one tell all federal agencies to enforce the current immigration law. That would make significant headway.

Bingo! And the agents would do so with gusto.

Bingo! And the agents would do so with gusto.

Double Bingo!!

I believe the correct term in that situation would be: With extreme prejudice.

Honestly I've already said I prefer Rubio and why, but the guy who's furthest from "establishment" of anybody, is Cruz. Trump is not in the same league. Check this out by the left-wing Reich who was Clinton's secretary of labor. Cruz is an actual threat to these guys, and Reich knows it.

Looks like the Rubio supporters have reason to be optimistic. With Jeb out of the race, that money and support is now headed to Rubio. He has 10 Republican Senators backing him so far, for whatever that is worth. To me, he is more of Bush Light, (beer jokes anyone?) than Cruz light. Rubio was the 2nd choice after Bush for the Establishment GOP's. The next puppet that can be controlled. The mudslingers are already scrambling for ammunition. Someone said last night that there are photos of him that insinuate he is gay. I don't know how reliable that source or his source is. It was just something I heard in while changing stations that caught my attention. After that they changed topic and I changed stations

I kinda see Rubio as Dan Quayle. Smart, somewhat conservative, but easy pickings for the schoolyard bullies.

Some of the people on this MB don't seem to understand the seriousness of this election and are more interested in who's on "Dancing with the Stars". Every republican who is running for president has stated that if elected that they would rescind every one of Obama's unconstitutional executive orders, not just Trump. Cruz was the first to say it.

[OvalNut]

Every Republican running in this race is doing the bidding of other people who are paying them a lot of money to do what they are told to do. Except for Donald Trump. Trump will not get the call telling him not to rescind certain items.

What the Republican Establishment is either tone deaf to or refuses to a knowledge is that Trump cannot be bought. You need to wrap your mind around that very simple FACT. Any diatribe spouting any particular candidate's "Conservative bona fides" is purely vacant puffery in the face of their answering to the bidding of the puppet masters who pay their bills and pull their strings.

Its cause he's young, pretty, and uses all that "president of the student body" rhetoric. But Rubio has a history of winning tough political fights without losing that air. He also got knocked down in NH and seems to have gotten back up, so lets see how he holds up from here out. Trump is a perfect schoolyard bully so that will be a good test of whether Rubio is easy pickings.

As a final note, I'm not the kind of person to go back on his word. I said that I would never vote for Donald Trump and I won't. I only vote for conservatives.

I'm also a lifelong conservative and don't like Trump either, Muggsy, but if the vote comes down to Trump vs Clinton in November, which is looking more and more probable, which "conservative" will get your vote? Of course you can always stay home like millions of conservatives did in 2012 - I think we all know how that worked out.
