The only thing that needs to be fixed is to remove entitlements and get the gov out of private lives.Originally Posted by Mordan

Thx to this outrageous statement we are talking about fixing illegal immigration. Otherwise nothing. Look what Rubio did. Voters gave him PAY BACK!

TRUTH: snake oil was very valuable in healing people until the gov stepped in and started the bad publicity. Now we think it's evil- makes me wonder how many lies the American people have bought into.

Pay more attention to exactly who is attacking him, more importantly, who is promoting him. There are multiple "factions" going after him, they do not necessarily have the same reasons. Sean Hannity is on the Trump Train, and this is the guy who said previously he would support the most conservative candidate in the race. Rush Limbaugh is on the Trump Train- these 2 alone speak to almost the entire GOP base on a daily basis. There would have been several more jump on a few weeks ago, until the runup to the Wisconsin primary, which brings up another important point- many of those on the GOP "team" in the press who attack Trump do it because of stupid things he has said, like punishing women for abortion, nukes for Japan, S Korea, nuking Europe if necessary, etc.
“I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul
He's not a noninterventionist, or anything close to it. If he was, why do you think he was so anti-Ron Paul? He supported the Iraq War, until it turned out badly, and then in hindsight he decided to be against it. I'm not sure why you mention illegal immigration, given that Trump's views on that are so antithetical to liberty, to say nothing of all the other big-government, socialist policies that you don't mention and claim don't matter to you.
*sigh* Let's hope Donald Trump doesn't do that for non-interventionism, libertarianism and being anti-establishment.Don't give snake oil a bad name.

Many of us did get behind Rand. The problem was with the strategy of cozying up to the Republican establishment and catering to the left (groups that would for the most part never vote for him), rather than his base, independents and the average folks.
His tax platform and attacking Trump only helped solidify the perception by many that Rand is one of them - the establishment. This was at a time Republicans were extremely angry looking for an anti-establishment candidate where clearly the Rand of 2016 was not strategically playing that role. If we got the earlier Rand prior to the 2016 race his performance in the primary may have been different.

He didn't support the Iraq War. He said "I guess so" and every anti trump are basking in glee. Having the guts to call the Iraq War a mistake in the SC debate was his stance. He had balls to do it. Respect. He destroyed Bush.
Same bombshell as with the Blowback Ron Paul moment. Rand Paul didn't drop any bomb. He was mostly transparent.

I can remember a few months back seeing a few days where it was like that. However anyone that comes here daily can see the overall majority of new threads are anti-Trump including think tank talking points repeated verbatim. Considering the volume of posts and the verbatim think tank anti-Trump talking points I believe some of it is PAC money for social media.
Probably a full time hire, posting here along with many other forums, disqus sites, Facebook, twitter, etc.

He blatantly did support the Iraq war in 2002 when it counted. And he would support it again if the same thing happened during his presidency. It's nothing like what Ron Paul did in 2008, because then it was still an unpopular position in the GOP. We can thank Ron Paul for changing that. It took no guts for Trump now after the fact to say that he would have done things differently, and we wouldn't have gotten into a war that turned out bad, when in fact, we know he wouldn't have.

Most everyone who is anti-Trump has been here for years. Trump supporters that no one has ever seen on the forum or who joined 5 years ago & only have like 400 posts or less, are popping up every day.
Can't imagine a RP forum supporting Trump. Trump supporters here started long before Rand was out of the race- so who would seem to have the profile of spamming? Supporters would be my guess.

Okay. If that's the way you want to look at it.
And what's your rational for his full throated blood lust support for an invasion of Libya?

I supported Ron because he was principled, honest, and defended liberty.
IMO - Trump is the opposite.
Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.

Adelson Sheldon said, "why not?" When Trump's nomination etc was mentioned to him. Also during his AIPAC speech said he would get rid of the Iran deal but later said he would police it hard. Now which is he gonna do? He can't police something that he gets rid of. He is like Obama and what Rand kinda wanted to be. Someone who is all things to all people. The only consistency is that he thinks the US is a business that isn't doing well and that he thinks he is capable of turning her around and making her great again. Trump is probably less interventionist than Hillary but he is no Ron Paul. Now why are we talking about this? This forum pretty much doesn't like Trump at all and the threads are less about ideas and more attacks on each other (I am planning on creating a Trump based thread in my favorite forum section). He doesn't need any advocates because he is doing just fine.

Exactly, so which is it? He said it in the same speech. I've had one supporter argue that he was buttering AIPAC up with the dismantling rhetoric and the policing was his real position, but how do they know? Its just hope.
Really...no more difficult to understand than that.
Couldn't have said it better.
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to dannno again."
Obviously, he's suggesting they pass some sort of Israel-ring-kissing sanction on Iran. He's going to enforce this new deal on Iran in a strong way.
It's stupid but it's not a flip flop.
Cruz is way worse. Cruz wants to fight wars for Georgia, Armenia, Urkaine NWO Christians, Sunni wahabis in Syria/Iraq, Sunni wahabis in Yemen, and all over the place.

He said it in the same speech, in both cases, he was referring to the same deal, the one that has already been passed.

@Mordan I hear you and agree with you, but you must understand the people posting against you in this thread are "purists", they would rather have Trump lose the RNC/GOP, and have them run some loser against Hillary and down goes the country even further.
You and me and few other still posting on RPF are the strategists we want to see Trump end the RNC shenanigans that prevented Ron Paul in 2012 from even getting the respect he had earned through the primaries at the convention. If Ron Paul ended peoples apathy what happened at that 2012 convention got it going again.
The people still posting on RPF are in basically 2 camps now "Purists" and "Strategists", and Bryan seems to be favoring the purists now, he owns it, thats his right. But it's because they complained so bitterly and so constantly he was forced to do something to get them off his back.
In my opinion it didn't make a liberty based forum on the 2016 election better, but self-censoring, which goes against libertarian principles.

http://time.com/4267058/donald-trump...ch-transcript/My number-one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran.
...
When I’m president, I will adopt a strategy that focuses on three things when it comes to Iran. First, we will stand up to Iran’s aggressive push to destabilize and dominate the region.
...
Third, at the very least, we must enforce the terms of the previous deal to hold Iran totally accountable. And we will enforce it like you’ve never seen a contract enforced before, folks, believe me.

Or it is because you Trump trolls shill for Trump endlessly kind of like the Obama trolls, Bernie trolls, Clinton trolls and Romney trolls. You guys are no different than them but you seem to expect respect for some reason... You want to drum up support for Trump who is an obvious authoritarian and get upset when people tell you that you are an idiot for trying to promote an authoritarian on a liberty forum. The argument that "the establishment hates Trump" isn't really an argument that supports liberty. Cry more though... your tears are delicious...
A sense of danger gives birth to fear. And fear is the time-honored cross for the crucifixion of liberty.
Hey guys the establishment really hates isisnorthkoreairanrussiabearpig lets support him and his cause because whatever hurts the establishment is good for us right guys?
I'm not trolling. I used to be trolling for RP on hannity forums
@ProBlue33
I guess you have a point. Trump and Sanders advance the interests of Liberty in the end. Anything but the statu quo. Bush, Romney and Co. are backing Cruz. So Cruz is actually the Con.
Sure Cruz knows the corrupted rules of selecting delegates. Ground game? Gimme a break. I will never forget RP 2012.
Hey guys the establishment really hates isisnorthkoreairanrussiabearpig lets support him and his cause because whatever hurts the establishment is good for us right guys?Is that kinda like how some on this forum supported the Occupy movement or cozied up with Code Pink? Double standard, anyone?

I remember in school when one person acted up real bad then everyone was punished. This is collective punishment. We all collectively deserve Trump for not putting Ron Paul in office. Why should the elite be happy? We should all be miserable! They need to face what they created and reap the whirlwind: http://biblehub.com/hosea/8-7.htmHey guys the establishment really hates isisnorthkoreairanrussiabearpig lets support him and his cause because whatever hurts the establishment is good for us right guys?
I'm just curious what happens if Trump doesn't get the nomination. What are a bunch of poor white people going to do? Will they be complacent or will they give Homeland Security something to do and justify its existence? Colorado didn't have a vote. We are in interesting territory. I'm not familiar of any other time this has happened. Anyone?
I'll never vote for Trump. Hopefully a third party candidate rises and gets the not Hillary or Trump vote! This election season is the perfect storm for one. I wish all the third parties would unite and support only one candidate and save us from Trump/Cruz and Hillary.
Colorado actually did have a vote. Trump supporters didn't show up because the official campaign dropped the ball, or just didn't care.

Colorado changed their rules in August to create a firewall against an insurgent candidate. They would have found something to rob Trump of any delegates just like they did in Maine in 2012.
If it was Cruz vs Bush, I bet you Bush would win all the delegates.
Source? I thought that was the bone of contention, but can't find a definitive write-up about it.
All I'm seeing is the "Trump is threatening violence!" narrative by the msm.
What I have read is Trump spokesmen saying they never planned on spending resources on CO anyway. That would mean all the "we got cheated!" bluster is just to fire up the troops for the next one (which is smart).
