You have hit the high note. Like the old game show "Who Do You Trust". In this case who can you trust. You really never know their motives. Nice article on the H-1B Cap. A little knowledge goes a long way. Trump is not dead to me either but I sure wish he would cut out the school yard vernacular. I have not idea what a serious conservative candidate really is. Never met one except for RR but he is dead. And even he got back stabbed by the Demos. I know it is not liked in this forum but I still come back to my original thought. I would vote for my left shoe over any Democrat candidate. The last one I liked was Jack Kennedy who I served under in the Cuban Crisis. And I did not even vote for him. We have plenty of time to ferret out who is real and who is not. What do you think about Carly Fiorina or Ben Carson? HAGD
I'd like to see a Trump/Cruz or even better a Trump/Carson ticket. Carson is a soft spoken polite guy, very intelligent, who is also what alot of people would see as a true conservative. Trump is loud mouthed and a bull in a china shop; I personally think that sometimes when things are broken it takes a bull to break the china so we can rebuild. And as he said, he's a builder. He's also very smart, and he knows how the system of politics is played since he's been on the donor side for both parties for a long time now. We don't need idealism at this point, not when the country's in the toilet and the socialists and commies running the dim party are ready to flush for the second time to make sure it's ALL gone.
Okay, Trump is obviously not very religious, he's a social moderate or liberal, but that pretty much sums up alot of the American populace. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many conversations I have had over the decades with people in both parties who have expressed frustration with the platforms of the two. For many Republicans, the law and order aspect, respect for authority and unborn life, all is good but the zealotry of the religious right can be overwhelming...it's TOO judgmental and alienates many. For the Democrats, while they like the social freedoms espoused by their party (although many believe the radical elements go way too far and are as zealous on the other side of the issues as the right), they are totally dismayed by the lack of respect for the military, police, the gun control ideologues, the illegal criminals crossing our southern border...for all of them, Trump represents a distillation of what is best in their view, and mine, of both parties.
Obviously, I think the good parts of the Republican party outweigh the negative, but when our so-called leaders begin behaving and voting in sync with their Dem counterparts, the lines blur to the point of uselessness. And so, since there's no clear cut distinction between a Jeb!
or a Shrillary
I'll take someone who espouses the best of both parties (minimal as the Dem side's contribution is) and vote for someone who, if elected, will be able to do things like get that pipeline up and running, lock down on the flow of illegals, strengthen the military, keep the Chinese from, as he put it "eating our lunch", etc. He sure as hell won't owe his election, should he get to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, to the billionaire and millionaire donors or any special interest group or groups; he will owe it to the millions and millions of ordinary Americans who are beyond sick and tired to death of all the p.c. bullshit, LIES, mounting debt, staggering regulations and all the other excrement that has rolled down from the greedy, grasping and unpatriotic in many cases, dregs of human flotsam that morons have elected over and over in various districts and states because there's some lagniappe in it for them. Those voters and the would be political despots have one major thing in common: both groups benefit immensely from the sweat of their brow labor of decent, ordinary, hard-working (and thus despised) American man and woman.
