Trump's "caring for vets" is political BS
http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016...ans-charities/
He gave more to the Clinton Foundation than he did to veteran's groups before he decided to run for President. I note that I personally ensured that he was invited to two NY fundraisers for an SF-focused charity and he didn't attend or make a donation either time.
This guy is a fraud. I am amazed that so many people refuse to see that.

That is an eye-opener.
Looks like Cruz is gonna beat him for the nomination, anyway; the Evangelicals are finally smelling coffee.
The crux will still be whether he runs 3d party.

I dunno Dusty, Cruz has his own issues and used car sales gimmicks.
My daughters soccer coach received a envelope yesterday from 'U.S. Senator Ted Cruz' that says 'Check Enclosed'.
It is just a matter of which clown do you want in the clown car.

Cruz has the political courage to oppose this nonsense about drafting women.
I'll vote for him if he gets the nod.
If it comes down between Trump and a Democrat, I'm abstaining.

Cruze- Has some issue and kniving.
Trump- used to be a democrat and big Klinton supporter. He is a big mouth showman. I know Regan was a Democrat at one time but he left it because they got so left wing. I think Trump left because it was a good political move. I have even wondered if he is not in there on behalf of the Democratic party. As for all his rants people like again he is saying what people want to her not what he means. Barnum and Baily would be proud.
Clinton- Benghazi, Black hawk Down, dead people all over, the list goes on.
Sanders- Communist bastard.
We are screwed. When it comes down to it I will vote for who ever gets the republican nomination, but it sucks to have to pick the lesser evil insted of the best choice. Remids me more and more of the Romans one bad leader after another.

I can concur with that.
Same feelings..

Least we forget,, No mater which we finally elect,,
It's Congress that proposes, committees, and votes on laws..
POTUS just encourages, signs or vetoes..
No mater what they say,, if POTUS doesn't play well with Congress, we will end up with the same results we have had for the last 7 yrs.. 
I would like to see the candidates positions on:
1)term limits
2)line item veto or one line bills/laws
3)structured executive order rules

Unfortunately, just as with the stimulus package, "we have to pass it to see what is in it." People can spout all they want, but I just can't seem to trust anyone up within the head of the snake at this point. Trump...i'm conflicted. I pray that if he does get it, he truly does hold to the things that he has put out. But again, we won't actually know until whomever gets in, on the conservative side I mean of course.

From our perspective, on the other side of the world, the Donald is certainly not what we have come to like and respect in America's great leaders. Talk softly and carry a big stick. Ronnie Reagan did that so well and was such a gentleman doing it that the contrast with the Donald is very striking. I don't know whether the Donald is honest or a potential turncoat, but what I do know is that he is not much of a gentleman.

What nonsense about drafting women. I do not want my daughters drafted but they spout equality and are shoving down our throats women in combat arms. Because of that they should also be drafted.
Equality goes for everything ..... The draft may be the weak link in their plan which if forced may cause them to blink. Who knows as this country is becoming like bizaro land....

We have been at war with the muzzies for 25+ yrs, all with a volunteer force. I doubt we will see a draft any time soon..

That doesn't stop males from having to sign up for selective service...
