    Now our potential entertainer-in-cheif is calling for a boycott of Apple because they won't build software that would allow the Feds to break into phones.

    Nice.

    A candidate who believes it's OK for the government to force a private company to create a product is bad enough. But to force them to build a product that would allow them to abuse individual privacy?

    The Donald says

    "Tim Cook is living in a world of make believe" " I would come down on him so hard -- you have no idea. -- his head would be spinning all the way back to silicon valley"

    "I think Tim Cook is totally out of line and I think the government should come down on him very, very hard."

    Sounds like the anti-establishment, small government kind of guy that we've been waiting huh????


    Hahahah...no. He's a statist tool.

    Yeah. I agree. I've about enough of Trump's big-brother nonsense. Unfortunately, I may be in the minority.

    As I've said from the beginning, he's an authoritarian. Authoritarians are never good for individual liberty (which is kind of what gun rights are all about, in case anyone here missed the memo).

    You're certainly not in the minority here: https://www.ar-15.co/threads/154489-...=1#post1959529

    Feeling like you're in the minority is exactly what Trump supporters want you believe, as they shout you down and call you a liar for quoting Trump (in context, no less!). Good old playground tactics. "You beat me in one of the (relatively insignificant) primaries? I'll sue your ass! Blah Blah Blah"



    Now can we please stop bumping this thread and giving Trump and his supporters even MORE undeserved recognition?

    A little history lesson for those too young or too old (Like me) to remember.

    George W had only been in office for about 9 months after having fought Big Al Gore to see who was going to be Pres. Yes, Big Al lost on all accounts. And the recounts. GW was being called the "the Appointed Pres by the SCOTUS, an Illegitimate Pres and that he had stolen the election". By all accounts and recounts by several liberal news papers GW had received more votes than Big Al. The lawsuit was filled by Big Al to only recount the ballots ONLY in the most liberal counties like Broward county in the Miami area. This recount of selected counties was not allowed by Florida Law. If they were to recount the ballets, then they would have had to recount all of the counties. Big Al sued to the SCOTUS to overturn Florida law because he did not want a recount in some of the more Conservative counties like where Pensacola is located. This is how the world became aware what a Chad is and what a dimpled chad, pregnant chad and :voter intent" with a mark on a chad was.

    After getting into the White House and starting to set up GW's administration, GW had to get Hillary to return hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stuff she was tring to steal. The Clinton staff stole all of the "W"s from the computers and general house keeping chores.

    Then we had laws that prevented the FBI, CIA, NSA and local authorities from talking with each other about potential terrorist threats inside and outside of the US. This prevented many of the agencies from "connecting the dots".

    GW was preoccupied with getting his administration up and running when 9/11 occurred. So for Trump to make this allegation that 9/11 happened under GW's watch and GW did not keep America safe is a Left Wing talking point, disingenuous and false. Did it happen, yes, could he have prevented it? No At the time we did not have a system to find and stop the attacks.

    Hope this fills in the back ground and what mind set Trump is coming from.

    "The Donald" says what a lot of folks want to hear and he may be good as the Pres., but I sure believe he is a "loose cannon" and question how he'd be for diplomacy in his dealings with foreign countries...........

    Wow.
    Maybe I should just put my fingers in my ears and yell, "La La La" whenever someone other than my favorite candidate speaks.

    Just curious; do some of you plan on bumping this thread in the hopes of changing someone's mind on who they are going to vote for in November?

    Whatever it takes to help you select the candidate you will vote for, have at it.

    Just remember, November; it is the only poll that counts and it is only February, so if you keep beating the drum for your candidate, you stand a good chance of turning off more people than you will pursuade to support your candidate.

    Keep it civil please.

    I think Dudley has an office. I'm not sure whether he allows running in his office. I'm fairly certain Dudley could not win a state wide election for any office, but that is just my personal opinion.
