We should say who they are: Mark Geist and John Tiegen who mounted the defense of Americans during the Benghazi attack. I think they will carry some weight on this idea that Trump is simply a disciple of Hitler. Do you consider them good Nazis????

Thanks for adding the extra information .... but I sure do hope your question wasn't aimed at me.

Trump has never uttered a single word about Benghazi, but, hell, if these guys support Trump, I guess we should just roll over.

Yes, yes he has, Sink.  Trump has more than uttered many, many words about Benghazi and what happened that night--he's raged about it.  Which could just be why these two heroes have so much respect for him.

What many seem to be missing or in denial about, is the overall lousy reputations of virtually everybody in "government."

People accustomed to the ordinary candidate checklists, ratings, etc. cannot conceive that there are people who don't like any of them.

These guys know only too well that Congress has TALKED about Benghazi for years. And talked and talked.

I expect they like the idea that Trump might approach it with different expectations for an outcome, besides years of talk.

No I don't mean go star a war. I mean some cunningly intelligent ideas about "win-win" negotiations. For example, the US is a major source for high technology in the oil industry.

Good. Important. Smart. That's Trump. When he sets out to do it, he does it. That gives me hope.

You still won't hear of it even though it is right in front of your mentally ill face.

You'll deny deny deny and lash out at my friends here who, unlike me, are Trump supporters.

I say this with all sincerity. Seek help.  Myst isn't doing you any favors by allowing you this platform to exhibit your madness.
Trump has created a cult and looks more and more like Hitler every day.

They serve as a nice counterbalance to the KKK endorsement.

No one is asking you to roll over, maybe just stop and think for a moment. The establishment is hated by many for many reasons...you may not have thought it but this where we have arrived, a place where government by the people exerts itself.

Trump rents a theater for a Benghazi movie.

Big whoop.

Oh, and he trashes Trey Gowdy for his hearings.

Another big whoop.

The bastard has no idea how congressional hearings work and he's ripping Gowdy for doing his job.

Here's the irony. I totally get why you don't like Donald Trump. When I hear him speak there's a cringe factor. I get that. We know he's not a pure conservative, I get that. But that's not important to me. He's just the best choice for conservatives in 2016.

He's best on four core issues: fiscal policy, trade policy, immigration policy and foreign policy.

He defies ideological classification. He attracts every demographic group along the entire ideological spectrum. Making him the best conservative with crossover appeal.

And as president, the media will be his little ball of yarn.


Edit: Forgot one last thing: SEN. JEFF SESSIONS!!!

I'm not a "pure conservative" so I couldn't care less about whether a candidate is one or not. In fact, that purity crap is what's been wrong with the GOP for years now.

My problem is that Trump is not a Republican but he is working inside the GOP to end the GOP as a viable political party, leaving ONLY the Democratic Party behind.

This is not my first rodeo, and I'm not some political naif, and I see this election becoming the end of the GOP.

Many people will cheer for that, but they are plain stupid, because there's simply nothing ready to fill the void left after the GOP becomes irrelevant.

I expect that those very same idiots will pipe in "they're irrelevant now" but they're just ignorant mental midgets that can't see beyond the glass of cheap bourbon next to their keyboard. They can't see what will happen when the last vestige of resistance against unbound socialism is removed from government.

You take victory laps. You're claiming victory. But what is it that have you won?

What have you accomplished in this victory that you're celebrating?

You're not celebrating answers to the problems that face us. Trump delivers no answers... I've been listening carefully. He doesn't.

You know that as well as I do.

You put your faith and the fate of the nation in a man that makes you cringe when he speaks, and no, he's not the best choice for conservative in 2016 because he's not a conservative at all. He's just the guy who makes you feel good because you're backing the apparent winner.

Give a prostitute money and she'll swear that you're the best lover she's ever had. That doesn't make you a good lover. It makes you a John to a prostitute.

Trump is poison. If you don't believe me, then you haven't been paying attention.

Look around this forum.

He's poison.

The fact that you believe him to be "the best" in any issue relating to government is your projection and has no basis in reality. You have no idea what Trump as a public servant will be, because Trump has never been a public servant, and from the looks of things, he doesn't like to be opposed. Don't expect the opposition to just roll over and play dead for President Donald "Malleable" Trump. Having seen the destruction of the GOP, all they'll have left to do is destroy him.

You want to think that he's the best at those things because if you don't, what it says about your support of the man is too ugly for even you to contemplate.

It's not that he defies ideological classification. It's that he lacks an ideological center, period. How you can say that, and in the same post claim that he's the best choice for conservatives in 2016, illustrates just how truly lost you are.   

He's poison, and you're drinking the poison by the gallon.

But you spoke of conservatism...tell me, how many conservatives are there amongst those non-whites? Hmmm?  Don't give me the conservative B.S. if you are talking about minority votes.  Yes, there are enough whites if they vote consistently with the various minority votes to win.  Now.  But unless we find a new way, outside of the dying philosophy of conservatism, there is nothing except socialism and communism in front of us.

Well, there is the fact that at least he's not a Clinton.  I know, I know, he's been besties with them before (and probably will be again), but a non-ideological, narcissistic opportunist is probably at least a little less deadly than Hillary (heck, even Billy would be less deadly than Hillary).

There weren't too many amongst the working class and democrats either, back in the 1970s, until Reagan came along and managed to persuade them by talking to them, not over them, about them, or against them.

Luis, that's one of the best discourses I've ever read on this site.

It's spot on, but it will go unnoticed by the Trump supporters.

Our party and country is being dragged into the gutter by a troglodytic anuran whose appeal to the basest instincts of his audiences, to the tribalism of his audiences, is destroying the ideals we've stood for.

He is poison, but he's got lots of gullible saps with straws, sucking down what he's pouring.

You don't know that at all.

He may be worse than the Clintons combined. There's nothing to gauge what Trump as a President will be like.

Very true Bill, and today who has the blue collar Reagan Democrats?  It is Trump, they are his base.  I believe the blue collar, who are suffering like no other (except maybe the college-degreed from 2008 forward),that will propel Trump.  And he, like any other politician, will NOT forget them. You cannot forget who elected you in America.  He is 69, he will be 70... Do you really think he has wild nefarious plans for America in his final years?  That secretly he wants to destroy it. This is nonsensical.

Trump has NEVER done anything that doesn't benefit Trump. For you to wishfully think that the Donald is going to do anything to improve the lot of people he has thrown to the side in favor of H2B immigrants has no basis in reality. 

That these little people put so much in Trump when there is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that he will do anything for them is really tragic.

Interesting.  I think the opposite.  It is a lack of "purity" or rather, consistent conservatism that has destroyed the party.  Conservatism had the Reagan years and the GOP flourished.  HW mostly held that steady for his 4 years.  Dole lost as a moderate.  W campaigned as a true conservative but dishonestly handed control of the party to moderates again.  They've destroyed it by fighting against the conservatives.

If you stand for nothing you fall for anything.  I didn't write that.  But it is true.  Power for the sake of power is asking for corruption.

Then why isn't Cruz running away with this primary?

Does he fail the purity test as well?

The "Reagan was the last pure conservative" thing is pure crap.

He was the best President in my lifetime, but to the Conservatives of his time he was not pure enough either. Reagan didn't see eye-to-eye with them so the animosity went both ways.

This is nonsensical.

That they are not.  They are already self-identified republicans, people who were already ideologically committed, and who are now frustrated because the world hasn't moved far enough in their direction.  They are steadily painting themselves into a corner because they refuse to reach out beyond their traditional comfort zone, and they refuse to accept that the world is changing and that they'll have to deal with the future sooner or later, and that you either deal with the future, or you get dealt with by the future.  When you refuse to recognize the future, and the change it brings, you get dealt with, you don't get to deal.

And Reagan was amazingly well-read and came to his views - from being a democrat party man - honestly through hard work, thinking, and reflection.  Trump is the antithesis of that.  For all that can be told, he was walking on the road to Damascus one day when epiphany struck.
