Who why we are going to have a President Trump

[OvalNut]

But he is running as a spoiler like Perot did.

No, you are incorrect. He is not running as a spoiler. Trump is running for the Republican nomination, as legitimate as any other Republican nominee in the history of the country.

There is no comparison between the two.

Oh, I disagree....there are several comparisons between the two.

There is no Trump trap; he is not running as a third party candidate as Perot did.

Didn't say he was...
The trap I feel into with Perot, was thinking he was sane....but he was a nut....
Trump is also a nut....
Time will tell will prove me correct...

The Trump Train keeps on a rolling. He has 46% of the votes, 20+ percent more than 2nd place.

Cruz just died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head....
As much of a Constitutional Conservative as he is, his dirty political tricks was what did him in.....

Fellas, I've had an Epiphany. After forty years of being a hardcore rightwing conservative republican I've finally seen the light. I'm voting for Bernie. I think that no one should be allowed to own an assault weapon or a gun with a high capacity magazine. You might hurt someone.

Why it's obvious, Trump is an innocent man. All of these people are lying about Trump defrauding them of thousands of dollars. They're lying just like Cruz, Rubio and Bush lied about Trump. It's all a giant right wing conspiracy to prevent Trump from becoming our next president. Trump is as pure as the driven snow. If I hadn't had a recent Epiphany and become a liberal democrat, I'd be voting for Trump. Now, not. I'm a Bernie man.

I think that Cruz' number are down because of his Trump attack adds. I really was hoping for a Trump/Cruz team; not too likely.

Muggsy, why is it so important to you which candidate 100 or so active members of Kahrtalk support? People are adult, and over 21, and the more you push against them, the harder they will push back. Sometimes, you don't get your way, and most accept that and go on, and don't spend weeks arguing their case to the point that some fear for your mental health. Insulting people's choice of candidate, and by proxy insulting them, is not going to help your cause any. All I've seen it do breed hard feelings and drive people away. I have not seen anyone say "by God Muggs is spot on, I'm changing my vote to Cruz." or anything to that effect. In fact perhaps some of us that were leaning towards Cruz, have gotten tired of your banging his drum and have dropped public support for him. I'm not trying to be argumentive, or mean, just calling them as I see them. No one likes being told what to do, and certainly not repeatedly. Your "epiphany" only caused me to roll my eyes, and wonder what foolishness was next. And restating your opinion a half dozen times on each thread, doesn't help much either, if people don't get it the first 2 or 3 times, they're not going to get it the last few times either. I hate to single you out Muggs, but you are the only one that seems to carry your Pro-Cruz, Anti-Trump campaign to such extremes. It's almost seems like you don't even want people to be your friend if they aren't for Cruz, on the Politics board anyway. I am thankful that you picked a good candidate to support, if you had went with some of the others, you'd probably be on "ignore" on a lot of screens by now.

Well for one thing, Tom, I have a deep abiding love for this country and for freedom. I also believe that having an informed electorate is better than having an uninformed or ill informed electorate. I also have very strong feelings about truth. I believe that there are more than 100 active Kahr members and that there are also many visitors to the forum. I believe that each of them could reach many more people with the information that I've provided. If I didn't give a damn I'd just say fokk it and go with the flow. Unfortunately, that's just not in my nature. I've always stood up for what I believe in and fought very hard for it. If I didn't, I couldn't live with myself. No one is obligated to believe a word that I've said about Trump and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but everyone of the people on this message board has known me for a lot longer than they've known Donald Trump and for the most part I feel that I've earned their trust. Trump hasn't earned mine and from the beginning he hasn't acted presidential.

Get well, Muggsy!!!

I'm aware of the problems with the Trump candidacy, but didn't Ronald Reagan support some kind of assault weapons ban? Is anyone perfect? Trump is winning, Cruz and Rubio aren't. Looks like we have to deal with that.

[knkali]

Mugg's assessment of Trump is quite accurate IMHO. Muggs is passionate and I cannot fault him on that. I am not clear on who he supports though.............;}

Yes he did. Reagan supported other "liberal" issues while in office(s). Many want a clear line separating Dems from Reps---aint reality

Muggsy, that was good well thought out answer, and one I can understand and respect. There is nothing wrong with standing up for your beliefs, and sharing them with people. I was honestly getting a little worried that this had become an obsession with you, and that you were taking things too personally. And that at points you maybe had gone overboard with the sharing your beliefs, into trying to shove them down our throats. As if no one could get a positive word in about another candidate, without you coming in and either having negative things to say about the candidate, or banging on the Cruz drum. Cruz isn't everyone's cup of tea. Other people feel strongly about the candidate they support too, but no one else jumped in on every thread about every other candidate and ran that candidate down, and promoted theirs the way you have. Or at least seem to have done. I may be over reacting, but that's how it appeared to me. Like no one could get a word in edge wise without having to argue about Cruz. If I'm seeing things that aren't there, then I apologize.

[muggsy]

There is no need to apologize, Tman. I don't take the political views of others personally. I'm not trying to shove any candidate down anyone's throat. I'm simply pointing out whom I believe to be the most qualified candidate and why. I want people to vote with their heads rather than with their hearts. The country voted for the the candidate with the most charisma in the last two elections and Obama was the result. This isn't a high school popularity contest. The fate of our nation is at stake.
