Trump endorses Romney...

[INVAR]

Well it would explain why he donated so much to the Clinton's.

Be careful there Tx.  You will end up being accused of helping Jihadists behead people because our president is the most pro-life person on the face of the planet and you dared to bring that fact up.

[driftdiver]

Yeah, Trump’s got something socialist up his sleeve, I’m sure of it. 

@aligncare

I think Trump is whatever he needs to be to get what he wants.   He needed the Clintons so he was pals with them.

That's why I think it's so important to cooperate with him and push him to do what's right.  Otherwise he will get pushed to the leftists.

Pretty amazing, RIV.  You just ignored everything I wrote and responded with something completely unconnected.  OK, you've proven me wrong.  Some things can't be fixed.

I was returning you to the point of my original post @Sanguine

But you're right ... we are done here.

I think I'm glad the Mods removed your post, @driftdiver , since it was clearly inappropriate.

Keeping in mind, of course, that you were so deeply offended when I called Trump your "buddy" that you put me on Ignore, and have advised others who attacked me to do so as well.

Some people are very hard to figure out.

We OUGHT to be allies since we agree on almost everything, but my consistent stance against Trump's amorality makes that so hard for you that you either put me on Ignore, or say things so bad the Mods have to remove them.

Curious............

I give up. You win, Trump’s a closeted collectivist who only participates in capitalism as a cover for his true socialist yearnings.

I don’t know why I bother.

I've a few questions that I've been wanting to ask for quite a while:

Will there ever be a moment in time when Briefers can agree the 2016 election is over and put it in a lockbox behind us?  If one of the "Orange Brigade" needs to start this movement .... I will volunteer for the mission.  I will no longer engage a poster who reopens debate on the primary or general election and this includes the difficulties between candidates Trump and Cruz .  I encourage others to do the same.

Will there be a moment in time when Briefers agree we have a common enemy --- one that is corrupt, powerful and in control of the political narrative?  And that this enemy --- like him or not, voted for him or not --- is not the President?

Can we agree we are on the same side, the same team with the same goals:  National security including a well-finance and supported military, a right to sovereignty should be inherent in our border regulations and immigration policy, sound economic policies promoting limited regulations, lower taxation, business expansion and greater job opportunities for the American worker, a judiciary tethered to the Constitution of the United States, and the right to life is the most basic right and protecting it is rightfully expected from our government?

If we can't agree that the election is over, the President is not the enemy, and while method and process may differ, achieving these goals is a shared objective, then I no longer know why TBR is here or why I'm a part of it @mystery-ak

@Right_in_Virginia

I'm done with it and have been for so long as those on your side refrain from telling me how I "Wasted" my vote!

It's the time warp thing @Bigun  Apparently no side is immune from its grip!

But wouldn't it be refreshing and helpful if both sides at least tried to break free of it's grip and the old gripes it brings?!!!

[truth_seeker]

@aligncare

I didn't see Cruz do anything close to what Trump did.  He behaved honorably.

I think Cruz problem was he lacks the charisma needed to win in today's politics at the Presidential level.  Maybe he has it but it sure didn't come through.   Not that media was helping him.

1. Cruz is a very effective legal debater.
2. He could probably get elected Senator from 25 states, plus or minus.
3. Had he been the nominee, I believe he would have lost.
4. Had he been the nominee, the dems would have waged just as dirty a fight, including Russians, Cubans, Canadians, and whatever they felt they needed to do to win.
5. Had he won the Presidency the dems would have done just as much to "sow discord," as they have done with Trump.
6. Any Republican will be opposed by the dems and most of the media.

And finally, in spite of protestations to the contrary, I believe this site thrives on the nasty infighting.

A lot of us here wonder the same thing.

Donald J. Trump is now President of the United States of America and has been for over a year now.

We thrive on honest, intelligent debate. It's not an echo chamber, and it's possible to learn from people with differing opinions.

Those who might make it nasty at this forum are not helpful.

And I honestly believe some here cannot distinguish between honest debate and "infighting".

I was addressing the implication that Ted ran a dirty campaign.  He didnt.

Ted is the very epitome of a classy fellow. But in war and politics, classy fellows don't always come in first.

Can you point to something specific you've done to "push" Trump to do "what's right?"

btw, that doesn't include attacking people who are more conservative than Trump on discussion boards.

Something specific that has moved Trump to the right.

[GrouchoTex]

Donny endorsing Mittens...it's gonna be fun watching spin and justifications for this.

 

Didn't you get the memo?
If we don't accept this at face value, we all want jihad and abortions.
It was all written here earlier.

[truth_seeker]

Well it would explain why he donated so much to the Clinton's.

When I worked for a global multinational, one "additional duty" was tracking political donations. I learned then, major corporations give to BOTH parties.

I learned that while the political inclinations of the officers were decidedly conservative, and the same for the industry (oil land oil services), the shareholders' best interests were served by having access to both parties' representatives.

Trump explained this over and over.

[musiclady]

Ted is the very epitome of a classy fellow. But in war and politics, classy fellows don't always come in first.

Which is why, of course, we need to excuse anything unethical or immoral Trump's done to "come in first."

Right?

(This is not the "nasty infighting" that you supposedly hate about TBR.  This is a legitimate ethical question).

Do we excuse anything he does because he wins??

[LauraTXNM]

Yes.  But it is also important to hold him to standards and values that we hold.

I have you on ignore for a reason and sometimes unwisely press the button to see the nonsense posted.  Curiosity kills the cat so to speak.

I prefer not to converse with people who knowingly misconstrue and misrelate what I say.

[Bigun]

Absolutely!  And I'm unaware of anyone ever saying that we shouldn't.

Oooo..you got me.../s

Speaking of a time warp...

Times have changed since RR's presidency...people now have the ability to voice their opinions with others via the internet..I wonder what RR would think of Trump?

[txradioguy]

Do we excuse anything he does because he wins??

@musiclady you know as well as I do for some people here the answer to that is a responding yes.
