Mitt Romney is a progressive left? Who knew.

From the same moonbats who squeal "climate" for one and "weather" for the other. A campaign is a cult if it's not for Sanders or Obama or a Kim.

David Koresh ran a church retreat and didn't kill anyone.

You ever watch any of the old Hitler speeches? They are eerily like a Trump rally. He blames particular demographics for the nation's woes. He promises to restore greatness to the country through negative actions towards demographics viewed suspiciously or negatively by large numbers of the major demographic. He also feeds that negative stereotype of those demographics. He preaches nationalism and promises to show the country as strong at all cost. He wants to threaten and punish other nations. His followers are almost cult like in their support and are blind to faults or decide they don't matter. He appears to embrace other demagogic, repressive world leaders.

I know, you don't see it. I do.

Its a shame the working folks will only see snippets of it after work instead of the entire press conference.

I know, you don't see it. I do.

What "negative actions towards demographics"? Are you referring to illegal aliens? If so, they have no business being here, let alone working. In the past, ICE has deported illegals back to 189 different countries. 189 different countries covers every race, religion and ethnicity. They all have one thing in common, and that is this---they have no business being here and need to leave. Illegal immigration, no matter in what country, is unacceptable. Period.

Hitler's "negative actions towards demographics" was against Jewish people. Jewish people had been in Germany and Europe for centuries. They were citizens and contributing members to society. To compare the Holocaust to speaking out against illegal immigration in this country, is simply wrong.

What is wrong with making America strong? What is wrong with not wanting any other countries to walk all over us? How does that even come close to being a dictatorship?

I know I cannot support Ted Cruz with all his religious agenda. I believe Rubio is totally controlled by GOP and does not have any guts on his own. I know I cannot support Kasich on the gun rights, he will negotiate them away at the very first opportunity. I really like Trump's economic plan to establish flat tax and offer companies to bring back their capitals for 10% rate. And I hear Trump's emotions when he talks about gun rights again and believe I can trust that.


Don't think that all Trump supporters are brought to his camp just because of the media hype. Many were brought by his program, that's what he probably meant when he said one does not need to go door to door, if his product is good. Trump's product is fairly solid.

So you are openly admitting that you will refuse to support Ted Cruz because of his Christian religious beliefs.

Wow. Just wow.

If people need to get their news from "snippets" it's their own fault for being uninformed. I recently mentioned "Meet the Press" to someone who called it a "liberal" propaganda program. Then I asked, "When was the last time you watched it?" The answer was "I never watch that crap." Well, Donald Trump is a frequent guest of Chuck Todd's. In fact, every week he seems to be a guest. Last night I watched several of the Republican candidates being interviewed.

EDIT: Are you talking about Mt Pleasant SC? The entire press conference is on YouTube. The problem with Trump supporters is that most of them are uninformed, just as you pointed out in your post. They don't bother to read about the issues or check facts.

Not because of his Christian beliefs, I'm a Christian too. But because I don't want him to force Christianity on all americans.
