Mussolini was an ally of Hitler.

LMAO in one thread you are humping Trump because you insist the polls are wrong, and another thread you are humping Trump because you insist the polls are right.

Your doublethink skills are double-plus good comrade!

No, no, you've got it all wrong! The polls are always right, when they show someone with the last name of Paul as having the least amount of support. The polls are always wrong, when they show someone with the last name of trump losing to both clinton and sanders. Therefore, we have to vote for trump, because he's the winner. And voting for the winner has a strategic value of advancing the cause of Liberty. You really need to get with the program here, and stop thinking like a child. After all, this is Ron Paul Forums!

I don't know. These people are detached from reality.

We're comparing a real estate celebrity to one of the most notorious killers in human history.

 

[misterx]

You're in favor of socialized medicine?

Or are you denying the fact that he's an advocate for it?

He is somewhere between single-payer, which is what your original claim was, and where I would like him to be. We've already lost the healthcare battle, and I don't think he will make it any worse than it is now. Therefore that issue is irrelevant to the campaign. Immigration and free trade are the more pressing matters right now.

What? Do you have any clue what you are talking about? I know you're confused because I posted that in the wrong thread, but I would think a smart man like yourself would be able to figure it out. The link I posted in the other thread was from fivethirtyeight, explaining that early general election polls have been grossly inaccurate, historically speaking.

We may have lost the war for the Constitution domestically. Now it's all about repelling the globalists, so we are not integrated into their grand plans. Maybe we can buy time for a secession movement to take off somewhere.

No, he's clearly argued for single-payer (well, as clear as that monkey can say anything).

One need not dig too hard to find it; he's said this in the debates; didn't you watch?

...gee whiz, I'm starting to think you might be a low information voter.

Ha, sure they are.

How is Trump being characterized as Stalin in all this?!?

I don't know. These people are detached from reality.

No one characterized Trump as or compared him to Stalin. Gunny merely offered Stalin as an example of an enemy of an enemy not being a friend.

Way to grossly mischaracterize what someone else said in order to whine about someone mischaracterizing something, though ...

 

[ProBlue33]

The enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend. Never has been. Joe Stalin was not our friend merely because he was the enemy of Hitler.

Yes but you use them until they have served their purpose, the Soviets were used to help weaken the Nazi's and end the war faster, if there was no eastern front you can you imagine how long the war would have lasted. In fact England would have most likely have been invaded and taken over, giving America no staging for D-Day.
Anyway....
The ideology can be argued either way, but letting two enemies fight and weaken each other, and then coming along and beating a weakened victor does work, thus the saying has merit.

I want the neocons and CFR neutralized at all costs, they have cost the world so much in blood and treasure with their lunacy, it was one of the things that attracted me to Ron Paul, sadly he couldn't move the ball forward to this goal like Trump can.

I know a few purists left here on RPF, don't agree, I supported Ron Paul because I thought he could bring peace to the American Empire, and what he said just made sense. The liberty points were just fringe benefits, but was never my focal point with Ron, I think many on RPF feel the same way.
I truly believe Trump won't be a Bush or an Obama, there will be no middle ground with him, he will either be a war monger or a peace monger.
I believe the risk is worth the potential reward.
Hillary gives us more of the same old same old, and there is no risk with her and she is CFR too.

Ha, sure they are.

It sounded to me more like he was talking about keeping medicare and medicaid. That's not exactly a single-payer system, it's what we've already had for decades. Honestly I'd phase it out, but it's just not going to happen no matter who becomes president.

My apologies. With all the Adolph-Trump talk, I thought it was a changeup to Uncle Joe.

Low information voters would never vote for trump. The only people supporting trump are of the highest intelligence possible, because voting for trump has strategic value to advancing the cause of Liberty, especially when it comes to the general election. Even polling historically shows this to be true, because polls get more and more accurate, closer to the election. A low information voter would never want to vote for someone, just because they think they can win the primary. Don't forget, this is Ron Paul Forums! If you don't support trump, that will make you unpopular here, and make you seem like a stupid low information voter.

Hillary has not taken a question from the press since late December I have read. This is softball. Sure, she's partaken in debates, but she's treated like a living god by the press.

Number of Days Since Hillary Clinton Held A Press Conference: 87

Number of Days Since Hillary Clinton Held A Press Conference: 87

BOSTON, Mass. - It's been 87 days since Hillary Clinton held a press conference, months longer than any other presidential candidate left in the 2016 race.

Taking questions from a traveling press corps is standard for any presidential candidate, especially once early states get underway and voters head into the critical Super Tuesday contests. But in a campaign that has been plagued by access issues, many of the reporters covering Clinton are frustrated and wondering whether this pattern will continue.

The Clinton campaign argues that pressers aren't as important when the candidate is doing regular interviews with local and national print, television and radio outlets.

Since the beginning of December, she's done over 160 interviews for a total of more than 26 hours, including with those that travel with her," Nick Merrill, Clinton's traveling press secretary, told NBC News.

"She also took over 500 questions from the public in town halls last year alone, an ongoing conversation that ranged from how to raise wages to bullying to autism to her faith. That's a lot of time answering questions, and it's been an central part of this campaign."

Clinton's last media availability took place on December 4 in Fort Dodge, Iowa. She took seven questions from a small group of journalists on a Friday night.

In the three months since, Clinton has held hundreds of events across more than 20 states. She did not formally answer questions from her traveling press corps once during that time.

As a result, reporters bombard Clinton on the rope line in the hopes of having a question acknowledged. That rarely happens amidst the incessant selfies and Secret Service officers keeping cameras at a distance. Organizers also tend to blast music after Clinton's remarks so--in the rare event that she does answer a question--it's hard to hear her response.

Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich have all held press conferences in the last week.

Sanders, who is admittedly media-averse, has held seven gaggles in the month of February alone.

Since Iowa, Cruz has taken questions 14 times. Rubio and Kasich have each held at least 17 press availabilities.

Reporters that cover Clinton travel on a separate plane, another major difference from the remaining candidates for president.

Sanders travels with his press crops and sometimes wanders to the back of the plane to answer a few questions. His wife, Jane, does the same.

Accessibility has been a problem for Clinton since she launched her campaign last April. After announcing, Clinton spoke with several local outlets, but didn't sit down for a national interview until July. Since then, she's done significantly more appearances but has yet to face reporters in a press conference in 2016.

The issue of press access specifically came to the forefront last summer, when staffers used a rope to corral reporters following Clinton as she marched in a 4th of July parade in New Hampshire.

The pattern is emblematic of the questions Clinton continues to struggle with over trustworthiness. She's been asked about this repeatedly and always gives a version of the same answer.

Whether responding to questions about the ongoing FBI investigation into her private email server or paid Wall Street speeches, Clinton maintains she's doing the best she can and has been "as transparent as possible."

Looks like Trump had the best results he could hope for.

Cruzer was destined to be toasted but it will be good for Trump to have him around for a while to keep his tango going with Rubio. For some reason left-wing neocons/SWCbaggers seem hesitant to fully embrace Cruzer, they probably see him as a religious zealot and not as good tool as Rubio.
So Ted winning in TX and Rubio losing in FL would be good for Trumpster.. although none of that maybe too critical in the nomination battles if Trump mania continued as is.

Thx for clarification.

 

[CPUd]

She'll probably have a press conference soon where she releases Trump's tax returns.

 

[hells_unicorn]

This turned out a little differently than I expected, Cruz won by a bigger margin in Texas and managed a close victory in Oklahoma. I actually figured that Minnesota would go for Trump, but now that I think back on who won that state previously, their Republican Party tends to go for brazen Neocons (probably why they keep losing in that state) so Rubio winning there makes sense.

From the looks of things, Trump still has an extremely comfortable lead, winning 10 states so far where as Cruz has only won 3 and Rubio finally managed to win 1. If Rubio loses Florida he will be completely toast, and it's a foregone conclusion that Trump will win most of the other larger states like New York, California and Pennsylvania. Cruz is the only one that still has a shot, and it's an extremely remote one given how far he's behind. Him losing states like Georgia and Tennessee as badly as he did is not a good sign.

With 35% reporting in Alaska, Trump is ahead of Cruz by just 1 point so far.
