I've never seen any gay people trying to recruit straight people to be gay.

It's time that we used our power to take back OUR country!
Your country, eh? Interesting take on the matter.

LBGTQ??? Isn't about time that you added another letter (i.e. victimized minority group) to your group? Thats what I mean by recruiting.

Donald Trump is taking a stand where average politicians haven't. He's providing a contrast to the status quo. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired, and this is the message that Trump is sending to Washington.

It's too bad that we don't have a General Swartzkofpf or Patton, or Eizenhower to choose from.
Right now, word is that Newt Gingrich is a top candidate.

1. I was born in the USA
2. I served in the military. My parents and grandparents served
3. I pay taxes
4. I contribute to society
5. I am a homeowner
6. I graduated high school
7. I speak English
8. I am not a felon

Unfortunately, we have too many people who aren't up to par. We have way too many people who do not contribute to society. It is drowning us all.

Also born in the USA into a family that dates back beyond the Revolutionary War many times over. Child and grandchild of men AND women who served. Married to a man who served. Our family pays taxes out the wazoo. I am also a homeowner. I graduated university and married someone who did, too. I speak English and some Spanish. I've never even had a traffic ticket much less committed a felony.

So what? Don't pretend to represent me. There is no "we."

So nothing about stagnant wages, saving American jobs from being shipped overseas, huge infrastructure projects, health care, making college more affordable, closing U.S. bases around the world, getting out of wars, etc...

None of that constitutes "taking our country back," huh?

No, taking back the country is nothing more than ending political correctness, slapping gays around, and chasing terrorists. Right?

That's OK...I'll pass. Thanks anyway.

Um...it's the fact that we've transformed into a corporate oligarchy is what's ruining us. The only candidate who was for real change was Sanders.
