"Trump's lies don't make a sham out of what he claims to believe in." Think about what you just wrote. You are clearly someone who will buy anything as long as it's packaged to your liking.

As a supporter of Ted Cruz I can see that your standards are incredibly low. Ted Cruz - portrait of a man with no guts or soul. Will he literally have to kiss Donald's [BLEEP] tonight in Texas?

You are clearly clueless. Ted Cruz was the only Republican honest enough to oppose the ethanol mandate when he ran in Iowa. That takes a lot of "guts."You must be buying into his phony "Hispanic" opponent in Texas. 

So who did you support in 2016? Hillary? Johnson, who ran as a Libertarian but was far from libertarian? His VP candidate Weld was a leftist who even opposed 2nd Amendment gun rights. I voted for Trump only to oppose Hillary, but I'm glad I did, especially after seeing his actual policies in action.

Every politician is a "sleazoid." Hillary was far worse than Trump in that department. Warren is far worse than Trump in that department. The sleazoid who makes all of the best policy decisions is the one I prefer. And I notice you didn't post one piece of evidence where one of Trump's lies made a sham of his stated beliefs.

Any politician, any man, who bows down to Trump after the things said about Cruz and his family is gutless and has no honor. But apparently that's your thing. You'd drop to your knees if the same was said about you, or your wife, or your father? Spineless.

I voted for Johnson - as a protest against both Hillary and Donald. Both are crooks and con men/woman. No one thought Johnson would win so taking about Weld, etc., is just a diversion to justify going with the con man.

All politicians are sleazoids? No they're not. Are all the people in your line of work sleazy? Saying all politicians are sleazy is just a lazy way of justifying voting for Trump. Trumpettes are always full of excuses. Always an excuse. Like any of the other Republican candidates couldn't cut taxes and help business. There're Republicans, that's what they do. But any of them would have had a clue as to what they are doing and would have actually passed a healthcare bill. You think it takes special skill to appoint to the SC one of the many middle-aged white guys fro the Federalist Society's list. Real hard.

But hey - with Donald you get the added bonus of see him parrot Fox and Friends, Russian collusion, all the drama of his hundreds of lies, and general buffoonery. And we get to see hundreds of posts by StroudCrowd trying to justify Donald's clownish behavior. I guess that counts for something.

Any of the other Republican candidates running against Donald could and would have done all that Trump has done, and more. It's not like Donald has done political miracles. It's Republican political orthodoxy. 

But with the others you wouldn't get the clown show. And being a devote of Alex Jones you enjoy the clown show. So I get it.
