So you think Kasich is going to be the nominee over Trump or Cruz? And how will Trump supporters take to that?

There will be a lot of commotion in Cleveland if that happens. After that, they will try to vote every republican out of congress who has conspired against trump, after which they are likely to never again vote for a republican.

And for the poster who insisted Trump’s followers aren’t racist… yes, some of them are.

Even if there is a sliver of truth in the links, I think you should go ahead and indict the whole country. After all, there are sinners here living in America, some of whom will vote for hillary, others will vote for Cruz, so on and so forth.
 
Kasich is the only one who can beat HRC totally cracks me up! .

Ha, who has he beat to date? No-one, he has a dismal record in this rep nomination process. I can’t imagine who would believe that at this point, you would have to gullible to the point of buying the Brooklyn Bridge.

Honestly the only one with a "shot"of winning is Donald and that is the low down dirty truth. I really think everyone should warm up to. The sooner the better because the other fact is your “cooperation” is required which is really the obstacle at the moment. Try not to believe the democrats and everything you read and hear. 😉

I know everyone prefers the saintly path but this is the dirty politics path. Take no prisoners approach obviously. They don’t ask who won politely only who won.

Come on Gary Taylor, don’t you remember the good old days when we had candidates so meek and mild, dignified and honorable, like John McCain and Mitt Romney? Don’t you miss those days? It’s not nice to talk about winning. Somebody’s feelings will get hurt. Please be more considerate in the future. 🙂

No you simply can’t do a Truman Capote and turn Donald into the monster Hillary/Obama already are. The buzz word for the Democrats is always “racist” its their last ace in the hole of a losing hand and rather dull and boring really. I’m almost motivated to apologize for their confusion and ignorance. 😉

Mike,

Thank you for pointing that out.

I have spent a lifetime (more time than I want to admit) dealing with community & state leaders. But one thing common among all of us is that we hold in high esteem those that think like we do. Sadly, if you think different? Get ready for the insults! Worse, I hope you don’t encounter the nuts that want to inflict physical harm simply because you are of a different mindset.

The beauty about the Internet is that you (speaking in general to everyone) would most likely never address someone in that same manner if it were in person. In many of the Parish Halls that I have seen, most people have quiet conversations among their small circle of family.

The downside of conversing with those on the Internet is the anonymity. There is no hesitation to speak your mind. Although I find that I encounter some good insight from some people with good & humbled wisdom, I also encounter the fools…

:yup:

You’re welcome.

I remember reading somewhere “Rules for Internet Conversation” or something like that, and one of those rules was always communicate with the person as if he or she were actually right in front of you. What a difference that makes!

Mike
 
Don’t forget there are also people who are part of the GOP establishment who think Ted Cruz is unacceptable as the party’s nomination as well.

I find that to be a plus in person though.

I find it refreshing and apparently so does Donald and much to the dismay of many. I actually prefer getting right to the point. If some odd rantings surface we can always discuss the issue. 97% of what people think they don’t verbalize. Those who verbalize a slight bit more in honesty tend to gain more attention. Good leaders deal in black and white not the grey area rants and make hard choices on the spot and on the fly. No-where is that not the truth. No where. 🤷
 
The GOP establishment is in revolt against reality. They want a party that’s more like the Democratic party, because afterall, the times they are a changin’ and they have to become more inclusive. Thing is though, as soon as the GOP moves more to the center, or even left of center in some areas, the Democrats will have there excuse to move even further left. It’s already happening. And if you think it isn’t, just try and imagine Bernie Sanders running for President a few decades ago and actually winning States. Typical response would be, “what do you think about Bernie Sanders” ? followed by “are you nuts, the guy’s an admitted socialist” !

But so many fall for this. Racist is the worst thing you can call someone. Nobody ever stops to discern just exactly what constitutes this. Same with Fascist and Nazi-like.

So does Hillary.
Hillary supports PP including abortion.
Trump supports PP excluding abortion.
They’re both PP cheerleaders.

It’s not pro-life to support “the non-abortion activities of PP.” Can you name a single pro-life leader who has ever praised “the non-abortion activities of PP”? :confused:

So the bottom line with your friend is that Trump is richer than when he started out?
Click to expand...
Obviously I did not express myself well.

No, part of the “bottom line” is that not all Trump supporters are idiots who know nothing. If a guy with only a high school education can end up instructing some of the best-trained people in this country and others on highly technical (and vital) subjects can be a Trumper, then it would be realistic for those who think all Trumpers are knuckle-draggers.

Part is that one does not have to be a NR Yalie to have worthy judgment.

Part is that knowing which fork to use first at a fancy dinner party (figuratively speaking) does not necessarily tell us anything about a person except that a goodly part of his training and experience has been in the niceties of etiquette.

Finally, and this really is difficult to express well, being able to massively succeed in an extremely competitive world tells us some things we need to know. Not the least of them is that it’s very difficult and very stressful. The notion being bandied about that somehow Trump had an easy road to his wealth, is sorely mistaken and bespeaks a lack of understanding what it takes to do things like my friend and Trump did.

That’s not to say Hillary Clinton hasn’t had difficulties and stress and made strenuous efforts. She has. But the difference is that her success has been in deceiving people and in selling influence. It’s one thing to gain wealth by producing a product people want. It’s quite another to sell the efforts and earnings of others. The first is “justice in exchange”. The second is theft.
 
Democrats will have there excuse to move even further left. It’s already happening.

They may even wake up and discover just how in need of direction they really are.

And task master Obama is concerned about the extreme rhetoric in the presidential race and is losing control, perhaps the democrats ought to fall in line and follow as they usually do instead of playing the race and hitler loony tune card on a daily basis in double standards. Perhaps its more indicative of the troubled fractured party falling apart. They no longer follow their leader and are aimlessly rebelling. And about anything in emotional anger usually unfounded.

But then again controlling BLM, Occupy Wallstreet, the Universities, the Black Panthers,the rioting and oddities has always been a issue for Barrack and where he usually goes and plays golf to contemplate what he never does anything about.

Better get the facts straight. He has promoting the race card violence against dissenters and anyone who disagrees with him as communists. Cognitive dissonance runs thoughout this thread.

**Vacation days
**
CBS White House reporter Mark Knoller is the unofficial but widely trusted chronicler of data on presidential travels and other day-to-day White House goings-on, so we turned to his calculations.

On Aug. 8, 2014, Knoller tweeted that Obama had taken 19 vacations totaling 125 days so far while in office. Those numbers have risen a bit due to the Martha’s Vineyard vacation, but that’s still many fewer than George W. Bush’s 65 combined trips to his Texas ranch and his parents’ home in Kennebunkport, Maine, which totaled **407 days **at the same point in his presidency.

Not included in this data are trips to the Camp David presidential retreat in western Maryland, which Knoller doesn’t count as “vacation.” Knoller told Yahoo! News that, through Aug. 12, 2014, Obama had made 33 visits to Camp David for all or part of 84 days, while Bush had been there 108 times for all or part of 341 days.

It goes against the teachings and statments of Pope Francis and the teachings of the Catholic Church.

I would guess that reality TV has influenced the way people think on this. The question should be whether The Donald is a good choice for the Republican nominee, not whether he’s racist, fascist, Nazi-like etc.
 
The point is the conversation is about should we or should we not support Trump at the end of the day, its the only solution if need be. Any other thinking and as suggested by many GOP and uttered as well by Dem is a nod for Hillary.

Im not stating facts but a general impression observed for 8-years and it really has not a thing to do with the Pope. Makes no difference who took more vacation days or in fact who evoked more executive orders.

In fact Newt put this very well last night to paraphrase this is about uniting and winning to defeat Hillary its not about being virtuous and pious and losing in some weird relative comparison. There is no one with the blood on their hands comparable to Hillary and Obama.
 
Trump is clever at making money and deals, but that does not equate to having wisdom.

When it comes to understanding people, foreign policy that is humane, and seeing all people as being part of God’s creation, he lacks.

I know this will upset people here, but Barack Obama has wisdom.

If you can get past your mental blocks and listen to what he says, you will see it.

In fact, read how he served poor people and lived among them, and what he wrote in his books before he decided to run for president, and you’ll see a deep thinking man, who has compassion for other human beings. He has wisdom which Trump and Hillary can’t touch.

Whether Trump or Hillary become the next president, remember these words, “you will miss President Obama in the White House.”

If anyone but Trump is the party’s nominee, I think Trump will file some kind of objection in court and run third party and really split the Republican vote.

If they go with Trump, his lies and insults are too numerous and too deep. He’s given Hillary far too much to work with to discredit him.
