Hahaha!

Is it true about Rubio?  

If I was American I wouldn't have voted in the past 20 + years of elections, for this one if Trump becomes  the republican nominee I would give him my vote, I don't believe he can actually make a  real change because he would most probably get αssαssιnαtҽd, nevertheless I would make the effort this time. There's no one else

a excerpt from a letter by Senator Ben Sasse:

(entire letter here)

VOTING

Now, let’s talk about voting: Voting is usually just about choosing the lesser evil of the most viable candidates.

“Usually…” But not always. Certain moments are larger. They cause us to explicitly ask: Who are we as a people? What does the way we vote here say about our shared identity? What is actually the president’s job?

THE PRESIDENT’S CORE CALLING

The president’s job is not about just mindlessly shouting the word “strong” – as if Vladimir Putin, who has been strongly bombing civilian populations in Syria the last month, is somehow a model for the American presidency. No, the president’s core calling is to “Preserve, Protect, and Defend the Constitution.”

Before we ever get into any technical policy fights – about pipelines, or marginal tax rates, or term limits, or Medicare reimbursement codes – America is first and fundamentally about a shared Constitutional creed. America is exceptional, because she is at her heart a big, bold truth claim about human dignity, natural rights, and self-control – and therefore necessarily about limited rather than limitless government.

THE MEANING OF AMERICA

America is the most exceptional nation in the history of the world because our Constitution is the best political docuмent that’s ever been written. It said something different than almost any other government had said before: Most governments before said that might makes right, that government decides what our rights are and that the people are just dependent subjects. Our Founders said that God gives us rights by nature, and that government is not the author or source of our rights. Government is just our shared project to secure those rights.

Government exists only because the world is fallen, and some people want to take your property, your liberty, and your life. Government is tasked with securing a framework for ordered liberty where “we the people” can in our communities voluntarily build something great together for our kids and grandkids. That’s America. Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of association, freedom of speech – the First Amendment is the heartbeat of the American Constitution, of the American idea itself.

WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO MR. TRUMP?

So let me ask you: Do you believe the beating heart of Mr. Trump’s candidacy has been a defense of the Constitution? Do you believe it’s been an impassioned defense of the First Amendment – or an attack on it?

Which of the following quotes give you great comfort that he’s in love with the First Amendment, that he is committed to defending the Constitution, that he believes in executive restraint, that he understands servant leadership?

Statements from Trump:
***“We’re going to open up libel laws and we’re going to have people sue you like you’ve never got sued before.”
***“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. They were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak…”
***Putin, who has killed journalists and is pillaging Ukraine, is a great leader.
***The editor of National Review “should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him.”
***On whether he will use executive orders to end-run Congress, as President Obama has illegally done: "I won't refuse it. I'm going to do a lot of things." “I mean, he’s led the way, to be honest with you.”
***“Sixty-eight percent would not leave under any circuмstance. I think that means murder. It think it means anything.”
***On the internet: “I would certainly be open to closing areas” of it.
***His lawyers to people selling anti-Trump t-shirts: “Mr. Trump considers this to be a very serious matter and has authorized our legal team to take all necessary and appropriate actions to bring an immediate halt...”
***Similar threatening legal letters to competing campaigns running ads about his record.

And on it goes…

IF MR. TRUMP BECOMES THE NOMINEE...

Given what we know about him today, here’s where I’m at: If Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee, my expectation is that I will look for some third candidate – a conservative option, a Constitutionalist.

I do not claim to speak for a movement, but I suspect I am far from alone. After listening to Nebraskans in recent weeks, and talking to a great many people who take oaths seriously, I think many are in the same place. I believe a sizable share of Christians – who regard threats against religious liberty as arguably the greatest crisis of our time – are unwilling to support any candidate who does not make a full-throated defense of the First Amendment a first commitment of their candidacy.

Conservatives understand that all men are created equal and made in the image of God, but also that government must be limited so that fallen men do not wield too much power. A presidential candidate who boasts about what he'll do during his "reign" and refuses to condemn the KKK cannot lead a conservative movement in America.

So then we are all urged to vote for Hellary?  Or not vote at all, which is also a vote for Hellary.

Don't get me wrong, Trump is not my favorite person either.  

He's not the R candidate yet.

I think Trump is the best of the candidates, but I am not voting. As for David Duke endorsing him, the only encounter I have had with Dr. Duke was when I watched him debating Alex Jones. He came across to me as an intelligent likeable guy though I don't support much of what I know that the KKK has done in the past.

No matter what they are or aren't / were or weren't, you simply don't associate with the KKK in the 21st century unless you are, in fact, racist. Whether or not they currently promote racism is rather irrelevant as it is what they are known for and there's no rewriting history at this point.

I think the fastest route to another Clinton as president would be to vote for Trump in the primary because I think far too many on the Rep side of the isle wouldn't even bother to show up and vote for him. Did you read his Howard Stern comments? He speaks publicly and repeatedly about who he'd like to fornicate with, but can't bring himself to outright condemn Planned Parenthood or the KKK? The man is repulsive.

...I think the fastest route to another Clinton as president would be to vote for Trump in the primary because I think far too many on the Rep side of the isle wouldn't even bother to show up and vote for him.

The man is repulsive.

To put it mildly.  

He not only did not "outright condemn" Planned Parenthood, but he praised them.  

 

“Millions and millions of women—cervical cancer, breast cancer—are helped by Planned Parenthood,” Trump said. “So you can say whatever you want, but they have millions of women going through Planned Parenthood that are helped greatly.”

He is also currently, officially, still pro-abortion:

I am for the exceptions. You have the three exceptions. I’m for the exceptions. The health of the mother and life of the mother.

I absolutely am for the exceptions... There’s nothing wrong with that. You have to do it, in my opinion.

For the "exceptions" is for abortion.  Period.  

Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke screen. In my 36 years in pediatric surgery I have never known of one instance where the child had to be aborted to save the mother’s life. . . . If, toward the end of the pregnancy complications arise that threaten the mother’s health, he will take the child by inducing labor or performing a Caesarean section. His intention is still to save the life of both the mother and the baby. The baby will be premature and perhaps immature depending on the length of gestation. Because it has suddenly been taken out of the protective womb, it may encounter threats to its survival. The baby is never willfully destroyed because the mother’s life is in danger (as told to Dick Bohrer, in Moody Monthly, May, 1980).

I've given this a deal of thought. I'll be voting for Trump if he wins the republican ticket. At first I thought the wall was stupid and archaic. It didn't solve the problem of people who overstay their visas. But this issue has been discussed also. The fact is is that the wall will be beneficial to narco infested Mexico. Mexican drug lords push their drugs across the border and get their guns and ammunition in return. The wall is needed. Plus if they put better practices in place for stopping and tracking those who overstay visas and better e-verify to workplace docuмents, the problem will be greatly alleviated. This would mean that Americans might have to update their last early 1900s form of identification...i.e. Social security cards will likely have chips and fingerprints like every other nation on the planet.

There is one candidate that is ballsy enough to say that mohemedans should be stopped from entering the US. You won't see that again. I think people should definitely support him. He refuses to be bought. Did you see how he called out Jeb's donars in the audience? About time somebody called it like it is. I'm not saying he is going to do great things or that he is perfect, but he is better than the others.

It's a sad state when I can't decide if you're being serious or not.

I just went and cast my ballot for someone who:

- is in favor of building the wall
- is in favor of enforcing immigration laws and not granting blanket amnesty
- is in favor of strengthening e-verify and tracking visa holders so they can be deported accordingly
- is in favor of not allowing extreme Muslims into the US

plus...

- has never donated indiscriminately to every campaign in an attempt to "buy" them all
- is realistic about the likelihood of successfully deporting 11 million people
- doesn't make wild claims with no realistic plan of how they'll be achieved
- doesn't degrade women with comments like "nice t**s, no brains"
- is 100% against abortion and organizations which promote abortion

No, he's not perfect either, but he's better than Donald Drumpf.

As an added bonus, he's the only Republican candidate who isn't in favor of mandatory vaccinations.
