Trump had some pretty nasty associates in Atlantic City, so it is a bit premature to say that nobody has died because of Donald Trump.

Also, with the number of little people he ripped off, there could be some that committed suicide after being ruined. Not out of the realm of possibility.
Principles matter. Words matter.

Can anyone here who is a nevertrump person post info on how many have died under Trump? I am really curious and want to see that info. PLEASE SOMEONE POST THAT INFO ABOUT TRUMP. Links please.
Like all good criminals, he keeps those statistics from seeing the light of day.

And judging by your continued hatefest against Cruz, it's clear where some of the $13 million in unaccounted Trump spending is going.

Yes a true conservative whos vote helped get TPP  move forward.

Good Lord. Are you really going to go there? Shall we play a game of "Look at the Liberal Causes Your Guy Has Championed?"

Any idea how badly you'll lose? Sheesh.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

At least Cruz will go down in history as forwarding the TPP.

I'm beginning to wonder if you can even explain what the TPP *is*, or if you are conflating it with TPA.

I bet you can't - or if you attempt to, you will first hit Wikipedia.

My guess is no.

The fact that they keep returning to the same handful of arguments like dogs to vomit, tells me they know only what Orange Glorious has told them before leaving them hanging with no new arguments.

It's funny as hell because they go on and on about TPP *like leftists*... because if you've been following the TPP drama for any amount of time, the biggest complaints from the leftists is:

1. TPP (and the other trade agreements being negotiated like TTIP) is USA-centric, helping to consolidate US economic dominance.

2. The agreements put too much power in the hands of corporations, and *less* on governments who want to regulate or otherwise limit them.

“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders. “

Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, November 4, 1775


“Nothing is more certain than that a general profligacy and corruption of manners make a people ripe for destruction. A good form of government may hold the rotten materials together for some time, but beyond a certain pitch, even the best constitution will be ineffectual, and slavery must ensue.”

John Witherspoon, The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men, 1776
"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."

Dumb question, even when repeated in all CAPS. None have died but many have been duped and ripped off by the con man.  trump is no way fit to be POTUS is what is relevant and most non-cultists know that, even the ones who will vote for him to try and stop Hillary like several well respected members on this board. You were an early supporter of this disgrace and took part in bringing what is universally acknowledged as the worse two candidates this country has every had at a single time. The two most unpopular candidates ever.  Enjoy. I certainly am not enjoying, but will survive just fine no matter who wins as I have never left my future in the hands of others.

Ridiculous question. Maybe you can tell me just how many people Trump has commanded in a war zone?

We both know the answer to the question, yet you would have him command the Armed Forces of the United States of America. If that happens, we'll start the counter, if that would make you happy.

Yeah, conservatives don't pick and choose enemies according to who the popular girl in school likes.

The Bush administration was working with Gadaffi on terrorism but never had any illusions about him being a friend or ally. Gadaffi was an opportunist and a scumbag.
Gadaffi was divesting Libya of WMDs so he didn't get the Saddam treatment.

Why the focus on Ted Cruz- I just don't get it. Cruz will win in 2018 with no problem.

Trump needs to focus on the true adversary- Hitlery. Not Cruz, not the press, the enemy of the Republic, Hitlery.

Trump has no intention of winning.  Trump's campaign is a con.  His intent all along has been to derail the conservative movement and to destroy the GOP.  His agenda becomes clearer every day and every time he opens his mouth.  There is still one person standing in the way of Clinton/Trump and that is Cruz.  IMHO, without him, the GOP will die. 

In today's landscape Cruz would easily win in 2018. Unfortunately he will probably be running against Castro and by then amnesty will be granted and we will see a huge influx of immigrants. The Hispanic vote will boost the number of DEM voters. Realistically and mathematically the GOP will be outnumbered and perhaps we will even see states like TX turn blue. Based on 2009 figures (7 years ago) the Department of Homeland Security estimated  the Hispanic population in TX is 1.68 million. The nation as a whole is said to have 10.8 million, according to the Department of Homeland Security.  Personally, I think that figure is very conservative.

Sorry, you can't have it both ways, Statisticallly, Trump is dragged through the mud all the time here,

In avatars, being called names, being called orange whatever, statistically it is there.

Now, if one is supporting the Libertarians, one is supporting their extreme pro-choice position.

There is no hatefest of Cruz going on here. People make Cruz out to be a conservative messiah;

Intellectually disingenuous arguments by Cruz supporters ignore the fact that Cruz campaigned with Trump and was allied with Trump; but that doesn't stop the most bitter words being said to Trump.

Start saying things about someone's wife or father and find out blood is thicker than water. No ally trashes a man's family with lies like Trump did. FWIW, I'm a Constitutionalist, NOT a Libertarian.

I can attest to that.  I spent a month in Tripoli 5 years ago and never felt uneasy.

How in the hell is Trump obsessed with Cruz??????????????  @Emjay  Wait I remember Trump has done nothing but post tweets talking about Cruz ever since the RNC convention. Yeah I remember now. I have read all of them. Pffft. Where did you get this idea?

Projection. It's they who were and still are obsessed with Ted Cruz. NeverTrump uses, 'obsessed with Ted Cruz' as a convenient attack line. Oooh, see! Trump is crazy insane, he's "obsessed!"

I'm beginning to wonder if you can even explain what the TPP *is*, or if you are conflating it with TPA.

This has been discussed ad nauseam through thee months.  TPP is trade promotion authority (TPA) and comes into play is as a means of helping to get TPP passed  (fast tracking the bill). Those opposed to TPP tend to be opposed to TPA.  (except of course, Ted Cruz)
