Can I have your guns then? I'd like to hide as many as I can before all you abstainers let Hillary win and take them away like Australia did to it's sheeple. I'll trade you a couple sling shots and a pocket knife for them since that's all that she will let be legal.

You still have guns? I got rid of all mine years ago.

Wait a minute! Where's that come and take it spirit? Everybody needs to burn those t-shirts.

Wait, so now INGO is all "the system is the solution" and all about the process? No more "cold dead hands" rhetoric? Molon labe and all that? Times they be a changin.

Newsflash: Trump doesn't exactly have a track record of protecting gun rights. Oh. Wait. That's right. He has no track record whatsoever.

By the way, as important as the top of the ticket is in determining the party direction, there's a whole different issue: Trey Hollingsworth. WTF? That's not my district, but it is perhaps more demoralizing. Dude is a carpetbagger, and it worked. Unreal. That's the GOP now, though, I guess.

A fatally large portion of the electorate just didn't like Cruz.

But in ourselves ... "

It is time to leave the Republican Party. The Party holds dear to NY values.

NY is the center of all our problems.

So does this thread get closed now that Trump triumphed?

I think not until the convention. Specifically, the end of the convention. Then it can be closed, as the primaries will be over.

Same way that a corpse can be reduced to a greasy spot on the road and the responders are obligated to treat it as being alive until the coroner declares it dead?

Nothing wrong with a carpetbagger, if they are better than the competition. Lotta folks favor a successful businessman over career politicians and tax raisers.

FYI - What helped to sell me on Hollingsworth was the continual airing of the opposition's commercial stating "Some say that's illegal." Bull, if it's illegal then prosecute. Don't think we're gullible enough to fall for that line.

Pretty sure that exact line in those commercials is what made me lean toward Trey. Just instantly set off my BS-meter.

Regardless, he wasn't on my ballot.

I guess people wanted to vote for a progressive candidate that threw money at politicians to get his way so that candidate could end the corruption that he helped fuel?

Which is worse, the candidate/politician that helped create the broken system or the businessman which lived within the rules established by the crooked politicians to thrive?

 

[AA&E]

Sorry, but Cruz was the progressive Bush operative in sheep's clothing.

Trumps ideas was on immigration control, America first trade deals, non military interventionism, and free market healthcare system are totally at odds with the progressive agenda.

I agree, anyone that can't see the differing platforms hasn't been paying attention.

 

[AA&E]

Are you implying Trump is a conservative? If he is, I'm certainly not.

Take the person out of the equation for a moment...

are these conservative policies/values?

gun rights
border security
fight terrorism
advance job growth

The diebold is cast.

are these conservative policies/values?

gun rights
border security

Are these:

Support of AWB?
Replacing ObamaCare with TrumpCare?
10% Wealth tax?
Support of planned parenthood?

Most democrats would say they support everything on your list.

Trump has no record. Hillary does. There is no doubt that she will nominate a liberal anti-gun SCOTUS justice. I have no idea what Trump would do. At this point it's better to vote for the unknown than for the sure thing. At this point the unknown is the the better potential outcome than the known. However small the odds, at least the odds are non-zero that Trump could nominate a pro gun justice.

Replacing ObamaCare with TrumpCare?

Have you read his healthcare proposals?

His plan should be called FreedomCare, not TrumpCare.
His proposed plan is all about freedom, and freemarket.
