Trump: Why is Clinton not investigated but I am?

[RoosGirl]

And let me add...I'm not "doing and acting" exactly the way I say you act. In fact, had the candidate I opposed in the primary won....Ted Cruz...I'd be avidly supporting him now against this Dem/Media assault. I would rally to the party and conservatism as a cause, despite the fact that many of my "principles" are not aligned with Mr. Cruz. I would not sit astride a high horse proclaiming Ted not "pure enough"....because doing so would make me an unwitting ally to the Left and its agenda...and...well...just plain not very smart.

I don't see anyone sitting on a high horse.  As so lovingly pointed out above, just people who have a different opinion of how to accomplish goals.

Oh lord, the drama with A word.  I think it was pretty clear I was not calling anyone an ass.  It was an example, another way of saying "the pot calling the kettle black".

@RoosGirl   

I think most here understood that.  It was pretty clear.

[RoosGirl]

Well, I haven't called anyone an "ass"....nor have I told them they are not a conservative.

No, you just tell them they're helping the liberals.  It's the same nonsense as telling people not voting for Trump was the same as voting for Hillary.

Yep, who was talking about whiners earlier?  Oh, I think I remember...

Look, @RoosGirl , you called us 'asses' and now you are arguing about it and, apparently, are prepared to argue about it all night.

But I'm not.  I have something else to do. 

[truth_seeker]

I think he is, too, @DCPatriot

But, the President is also forced to ask these questions because no one from the Republican "side" will.  If we've learned one thing it's "Nevertrump" really does mean never.

If so many of the Republican/Conservative persuasion want the President to stop tweeting ... then those same people need to start fighting (for him).

Mark Levin, hardly a strong Trump enthusiast, said precisely this today.

 :odrama:

I have never made a personal attack here against anyone.  If I was going to start now it sure as hell wouldn't be something as lame as calling someone an ass.  Sorry, not sorry.

[Bigun]

I have zero interest in fighting for Trump but do have tremendous interest in fighting for the future of this once great republic and at the moment Trump is right in the middle of that fight whether we like it or not!
 

[truth_seeker]

According to the 'fake news' you otherwise ignore... which negates the rest of your screed.

Those stats are from President Goldwater.

Actually, she didn't. She said you were acting like asses. If the shoe fits... Wear it if you want to.

THIS!

The principles YOU perceive as conservative are supported by 15-20% of the American public. If you were to break off and start your own party, you would do nothing but divide the vote on the right half of the political spectrum, while facing a united Left half. In that scenario, the Left rules supreme...gets every policy it wants, appoints all the justices at all levels, and in time makes it nearly criminal to NOT be liberal. So what you are "fighting" for brings all of us virtually unending liberal rule of the country...a statist socialism that will be impossible to overturn. And spare me empty claims of that's what we have now....cause, bubby, you ain't seen nothing yet. A liberal monopoly on power will bring on things you can only dream of in your worst political nightmars....think 1984 light.

While you believe you are fighting for principle, the result of your action is a liberal monopoly on the nation. So, if your principle is resulting in the destruction of all things conservative...well...how dumb is that on your part? Given that, anyone with at least a remnant of a brain would come up with a better tactic...its rather obvious that supporting the more conservative of the two parties is the rational course. This will not, of course, sway you...because you are so principled that you'd rather destroy this "great experiment" of nation just so you can sit comfortably on your high horse.

Brilliant plan.

Actually, If you would quit fighting us and fight against the people I presume you think are the real enemy of this Republic (the Liberals), maybe we could all make some progress.

We'd serve as the "extreme" folks who would put y'all in the middle somewhere, instead of standing there with your butts hanging over the cliff you keep trying to boot us off of.

But I'm just not seeing the political savvy present for y'all to do that.

The Dems have it. They let even the people they consider off-planet extreme have a couple of seats in Congress to make their simply liberal nutcase policies seem more sane. You didn't think the Maxine Waters' were an accident, did you?

Republicans, however, are too busy throwing Conservatives under the bus to fight the Liberals.

That really makes me wonder just what side you're on.

I understand that. I respect that. I don't completely agree. But we wind up on the same side, because we mostly want the same results.

Kinda like Reagan, and his 70-80 percent saying.

It is sad that so many others on this site, cannot or will not grasp that simple truth.

[rodamala]

Next time, vote for a Conservative.

[rodamala]

...had the candidate I opposed in the primary won....Ted Cruz...I'd be avidly supporting him...

@Mesaclone

Cruz is "avidly supportable" by constitutional conservatives.

Trump?  Not so much.

[txradioguy]

Why can't a gay man be a Boy Scout leader IF the organization itself, without direction from the government, decides to allow it? There's no evidence that gay troop leaders are more likely to commit crimes than anyone else.

And this is exactly the Liberal thinking and mindset that has led the GOP to the precipice of extinction they find themselves at today and why Conservatives..the base of the party...so disgusted with the direction the party of Lincoln and Reagan has taken.

He could have said "neverTrumps" along with fake news.

The principles YOU perceive as conservative are supported by 15-20% of the American public.

And how did that happen?   50 years ago the positions we advocate were supported by the vast majority of the population.   Obviously something must have happened to change the bulk of the American people from "Normal"   to "bat shit crazy."   

What was it? 


It was Liberal Controlled media and entertainment that has been pushing advocacy for liberal causes since at least the 1960s.    They control the News,  and they routinely ignore any stories beneficial to Conservative policies,   and they also ignore any news detrimental to Liberal policies.   


Entertainment is filled with Pro-Liberal propaganda.   Propaganda works.   Over time it moves opinion in the direction advocated by the propagandists.   


Fix the Media problem,  or you will never fix the other problems.   You may deal them setbacks,  but so long as that constant pressure exists,  it will eventually move the public back in the Liberal direction.

@Right_in_Virginia

Maybe he ought to use that platform to get some of his campaign promises accomplished instead of obsessing over slights and claiming Qatar sponsors terrorists after deciding to give them fighter jets.

This discussion reminds me of Matt Drudge's recent tweet.  He said Georgia Republicans deserve to lose because they haven't done enough for Trump.  "BURN", he said.

It's all about the man, the personality, and a perceived absence of loyalty to him.

His biggest acolytes don't care how they beclown themselves either. They want Trump as king and emperor.

And Ted Cruz didn't run around insulting, lying about, attacking, and threatening everyone who didn't support him. Most of all Ted Cruz didn't declare he didn't need our filthy votes.

I think the portion of my statement that was latched on to and questioned is odd.  I gave that information as background and went on to point out that a supposedly conservative President appointed a Secretary of State that has no problem continuing a "Pride month" within the Department.  Regardless of your feelings about homosexuals, that kind of nonsense should not be sponsored by Fed Gov.  Conservatives know that, Republicans haven't a clue.

And maybe it's time to stop comparing apples to oranges @CatherineofAragon  Washington is paralyzed by a coup in slow motion ... and make no mistake about it, this is a coup. 

I am weary of so many here changing the goal post on what our President needs to do.  He should fight, he should be quiet, he should implement his agenda (even without the help of Congress), he should stop with the executive orders because he needs to go through Congress.  No matter what he does it is not good enough.

I am also weary of being told:  "We told you so".    No one told me there would be a coup against our President and half of the GOP and all of the NeverTrump world would revel in it.   

All the NeverTrumps ever told me was he could not win, would not win.  And this was based on his being from New York, having bad hair, his not living a "true" Christian life, his being stupid, liberal and orange.  They were wrong, and still have not come to grips with it.

This same group refusing to support the man as candidate now withhold their support for Donald Trump, the President.  This is waved about as proof of superior character and God's indwelling.  Yet this same group refusing to support the President is pissed off because others do, and do so without them.  How much further proof is needed before recognizing that wallowing in bitterness robs people of sanity?

It is my opinion that the vitriol among "right" NeverTrumps is only marginally surpassed by that of the liberal fringe.  And both groups have equal credibility with me ... which is zero.
