So you worship Trump, ignore his lies and flip-flops, and pretend he's not just as liberal as Clinton.  Idolatry is not pretty, even for Trump worshippers.

Bitter much?

This was posted on Facebook by a guy named Leo Pusateri. It describes my thoughts on the issue to the "t".

What he said plus this:

I am firmly convince that Donald J. Trump is the agent of the Clintoon/Soros crime syndicate. 
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Of course there is .... it's Donald's way or the highway! 

He has done absolutely NOTHING that gives me a reason to vote for him.  I have tried to find it.  He backtracks on the major issues.  What's there to vote for??

No, he has not. I will challenge you to defend him by the principles of the Conservative factions - which you won't. Because you can't

Yes, of course.  This strategy has worked so well for the past eight years.  Keep yapping from the sidelines while the country is fundamentally changed.  Don't raise a hand to stop the change, don't put yourself in a position to actually affect the course of events.  Just keep your hands clean and keep on yapping.

Good plan.  Good, good plan.

Cowards

Interesting response.  I remember not long ago when Conservatives were showing up at these state conventions working hard to get Conservatives seated at the national GOP convention, Trump supporters were calling them every name in the book and falsely accusing them of "stealing delegates".  At the same time, Trump supporters remained on the sidelines, not even showing up.

Cowards?  Trump is your champion.  That's what you want anyway, right?  A champion who will do everything for you so that you don't have to get involved.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

As a general rule, I don't vote for Democrats.  Trump is a Democrat.  Therefore, . . .

Educate myself???? By watching that video??????

Let's see ......

Tired of seeing what's happening

I wouldn't go in to lose.  People are tired of seeing the US ripped off.

It wouldn't be the way it's been.

Taxi Republican

I love the country.

I have a good instinct

I know from a common sense financial standpoint that something has to burst when the country is losing billions and billions and billions of dollars a year and when other countries are making hundreds of billions of dollars a year something is going to burst and it's gonna start here.

This country needs major surgery.  I'd do a fantastic job as the surgeon.

Brooklyn and Iowa can't have schools cause we're spending it somewhere else.

I beat China all the time.

The US has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems.  It's true.

and on and on and on .... what did he say???

I've considered the Supreme Court the last 4 elections. I must consider the candidate this election.

You can choose to get in the fight to stop Obama's third term . . .

Still waiting for you to get in the fight to overturn the corruption within the GOP instead of siding with it.

The more the candidates and their sycophancies talk, the more comfortable
I am living in a state where "none of the above" is a ballot option in November.
And since absolutely none of the candidates speaks one whit on behalf of
something, anything that will begin the decades-overdue reduction
of State power and restoration of properly construed government, it looks
like "none of the above" is my option.

No, @roamer. Your post is too clever by half.   I'm talking about the fundamental change that Obama has implemented and Hillary will expand. 

You can choose to get in the fight to stop Obama's third term or you can sit back and sip your chilled Chardonnay while admiring your perfect manicure.

We've got one political leader.  You don't like him.  I get it.  But that's not a good enough reason to sit back keeping your hands clean.  There's no excuse for Conservative not talking with Trump and hashing out where the Conservative voice will be seated at the table.  No excuse at all.

The conservative that could have been seated at the table was called a liar, all the while he and his family were being lied about.  In addition to that, we were told the conservative vote was not needed (and by extension unwelcome), so TTFN.

That's a disingenuous graphic.  Jerry Zeifman wasn't her supervisor and didn't have the power to fire her.  She worked for John Doar, and she wasn't fired.  She remained on the staff until President Nixon resigned, mooting the  need for impeachment-inquiry staff.

I could stomach only a short bit, but wow, the 80s Trump sure illustrates why the Germans came up with the term "Backpfeifengesicht"!

He was a bit more coherent in older days; he could speak in complete sentences.  I'm now wondering about his health.  It appears damage has occurred to his brain.

No WMDs, eh?
http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/bombshell-new-york-times-reports-wmds-found-iraq/

I've also learned that even if it's a good businessman/developer, he doesn't understand economics. He actually thinks that devaluing one's currency doesn't have a downside, or he thinks that we haven't been doing the same thing ourselves!

He somehow thinks that if you go shopping and find the best deal and buy something, you were cheated.

Interesting to see him endorse Romney, saying "We need somebody great as a president."

Okay, I went more than half-way through and got to see his bad side.  When does it start to make me want to vote for him? 

May I have my 15 minutes back, please?

Nope.  There no excuse for conservatives not sending their leader (whoever the hell that is) to sit down face to face with Donald Trump and negotiate the role Conservatives will have in the Trump administration. 

There's no excuse not to do this.  None.  Zero.  Zilch.

Well, @roamer_1 I've been asking someone to define conservatism for months now.  I've not had any takers.  This could be your calling.  So what ---today, right now----is Conservatism?   Enlighten me.

Back to the topic of the thread, I will NOT vote for Trump.  And I will not vote for Hillary. And I'm not alone:

Quote
Some 46 percent of likely voters said they supported Clinton, while 35 percent said they supported Trump, and another 19 percent said they would not support either, according to the survey of 1,421 people conducted between May 30 and June 3.
