And now the Donald has specifically said that he would consider using nuclear bombs in the middle east we're back around on this topic to Trump being the worst choice.

Or maybe one of Cruz's mistresses.

To most Trump voters, the Enquirer is as mainstream media as it gets.

If you tell people to vote for a democrat, the worst democrat in the history of democrats running for president, I don't think it's a stretch to say you're a democrat, particularly when you are unable to come up with even a single instance where Trump says anything of substance that is different from Cruz's positions other than reconsidering NATO alliances, not pestering Russia and China, and getting troops out of the absurdity that is the middle east. There's some restraint for you.SpiffCoug wrote:Yep, if you disagree with Trump, it means you're a Democrat. Of course, if we were Democrats we would more closely align with Trump's real political opinions, positions and philosophy.

Yes, so OTHER than the ones you already listed here are a few:jvquarterback wrote: particularly when you are unable to come up with even a single instance where Trump says anything of substance that is different from Cruz's positions other than reconsidering NATO alliances, not pestering Russia and China, and getting troops out of the absurdity that is the middle east. There's some restraint for you.
The Donald has said women who have abortions should be punished, possibly with jail time.
The Donald has said he is perfectly ok with raising taxes on the wealthy.
The Donald has said he admires tyrants like Putin.
The Donald has bragged about having affairs with married women.
The Donald wants to change the GOP's platform on abortion.
The Donald opposes free trade.
The Donald wants to impose extremely high tariffs that will further stifle the economy.
The Donald wants to economically imprison businesses so that they can't leave the country.
To be fair, it's tough to nail The Donald down on what he says because he is constantly changing what he says and what his positions are. This is what happens when you have a Democrat with no governing principles or morals masquerading around the Republican primary trying to be a conservative. He has no clue what his positions are. He has no clue what he'll actually do as president.
So when he loses 40+ states to Hillary, don't come complaining to people like me and Hawk.
And for the record, we have never told people to vote for a Democrat. That's because we oppose voting for a Democrat in Hillary Clinton and we oppose voting for a Democrat in The Donald.

Again, those positions are no different than Cruz's and quite a bit better than Clinton's. In fact, on the abortion issue, Trump is more in line with the teachings of the church. Here is a transcript of the portion of the interview in question:
Now if the idiots writing in the Atlantic are correct and Trump is the next Governor Boggs, all the Mormons baiting Trump, who is very likely to win the nomination and the presidency, are even more stupid than they are naive in their unfounded belief that Trump is any different than Cruz, Kasich, or Clinton.
The enmity I see among many Mormons toward Trump astounds me.TRANSCRIPT
Savannah Guthrie: The Republican platform every 4 years has a provision that states that the right of the unborn child shall not be infringed, and it makes no exceptions for rape, for incest, or for the life of the mother. Would you want to change the Republican platform to include the exceptions that you have?
Donald Trump: Yes I would. Yes I would. Absolutely. For the three exceptions. I would.
Guthrie: Would you have an exception for the health of the mother?
Trump: I would leave it to the life of the mother, but I absolutely would have the three exceptions.
It's unfortunate members of the Church are unable to see that all of the problems with Trump are just as bad or worse with Cruz and Clinton. I used to support Cruz, but his proposals for banning Muslims are no different than Trump's, and, from what I understand, Cruz is just as, if not more apt to use crude language than Trump. Mormon's like to pretend they can take a joke, but the backlash after Trump asked if Romney is really a Mormon is just crazy.BlueK wrote:There are many fairly deep-rooted reasons why Trump is very unpopular among LDS. This article tries to explain why to a non-LDS audience. It's crazy that he could very well not even carry utah in the general election. The world has gone wacko.
