Trump carries

[Aloha_Shooter]

I hated Carly Fiorina as CEO of HP when I was a stockholder but she has been for the right things as far as political office in the federal government goes -- for a lot longer than Donald Trump. While I am befuddled by people who are willing to be NeverTrump to the point of allowing Hillary to steal the election, I also don't understand any self-styled conservative that chooses Trump over Cruz. I understand Northeast Liberal Republicans that prefer Trump, just not anyone who claims to be a fiscal or social conservative, anyone who thinks the Second Amendment is important, anyone who thinks a SCOTUS appointment is important, etc.

That last quote from Market Ticker is as ludicrous and over-the-top as anything said by Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden. Pure delusion.

Granted, Karl has been a bit off the rails over this election lately. I think he knows it and added that last sentence to mock himself.

Here's a better article as to just why I do not trust Cruz or Fiorina: https://theconservativetreehouse.com...-running-mate/

That's probably the strongest conservative ticket in a long, long time.

Agreed. It's a damn shame its getting wasted on this joke of an election.

I'm sorry, where did I say "no personal responsibility"? We were talking about Freedom. You know the kind the founders wanted.

I'm still waiting for a separate thread on that topic. Then we can discuss the lack of personal responsibility among other things inherent with "do whatever as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else".

This topic isn't about how most people on this board would behave, it would be about how 90% of the population would behave.

OMG What a delusional beatch.

So this is ok?

Trump not earning the White House isn't the same as Hilary stealing the election.

This is what I have been saying all along. It's mind-boggling insane.

Hell, Trump is on record saying he'll use government programs to take care of rising student loan costs...an extremely liberal policy.

But hey, the "system is broken so let's burn it down" by nominating the "outsider" (cough, cough, bullshit), Trump.

Cutting off noses despite their faces. Purely emotional response. It's unbelievable to watch.

I see this election on the Republican side as being very similar to the discontents who supported Dan Maes for Colorado Governor in 2014. We will all be sorry eventually, but it will be too late to do anything about it.

Like I said earlier, Trump is the Obama of 2008. The idea that Republicans or Democrats are more or less intelligent than their opposites is a lie that is swallowed hook, line, and sinker by both sides. Politicians have known this forever and the battle lines of which politician pursues which voters have been established for a long time. We're in a unique time in history where the battle lines are being redrawn in such a way that temporarily sheds light on just how stupid people are as a group. It's like when the lights come on at the bar at the end of the night and you can see how stupid people are acting for a few seconds before everyone stops dancing and making out in the corner and have a chance to compose themselves. Only this time, the lights came on 3-hours early so more and more people are realizing just how ridiculous the situation has become.

It's interesting and telling that you, as a Trump supporter, post this as a reason to be warry or Fiorina. Afterall, your boy has had FOUR companies go bankrupt. One of those four was partially made up of the remains of a previous Chapter 11 reorganization (The Trump Taj Mahal went bankrupt in 1991 and then again in 2004 as part of the Trump Hotels and Casino resorts). So technically, one business venture went bankrupt twice.

If having previous business failures is reason not to trust someone in the Whitehouse, then by the same standards, Trump shouldn't be trusted either.
