So maybe Trump is the establishment's guy?

there was a time i could have defined, separated and actually made a safe explanation as to what the republican "establishment" meant. now, not so much and that fracturing of the party is possibly the only thing that could create a shoe in candidacy for the dems ... ie: Hillary. to me ... well, that's shocking that anyone with so little ability, so little integrity so much baggage could walk in to the White House with so little effort.the establishment's guy?
If Trumps ends up being the republican nominee that's exactly what's gonna happen. And that's the day I give back my republican membership card. It will be a sad day indeed.EssentialSacrifice wrote:there was a time i could have defined, separated and actually made a safe explanation as to what the republican "establishment" meant. now, not so much and that fracturing of the party is possibly the only thing that could create a shoe in candidacy for the dems ... ie: Hillary. to me ... well, that's shocking that anyone with so little ability, so little integrity so much baggage could walk in to the White House with so little effort.the establishment's guy?

Well I expect the Democrat party to push socialism on America and if we are going in that direction I would rather it be the Democrat party that takes us there not the Republican party which is wh I did not vote for McCain over Obama- McCain is "The Maverick" to Democrats because he stabbed Republicans in the back politically so many times in the senate but it really makes no difference really and its been this way for far too long. Republicans get all religious and conservative while running but it stops once they get to Washington,then we have no real opposition party.edwardmurphy wrote:The grass is always greener...abelcainsbrother wrote:I'm tired of the weakness of the republican party that does'nt know how to lead and stand up and fight politically like the Democrats do.

Also, it's the "Democratic" Party. I don't know if you're saying it wrong on purpose, but I thought I'd mention it because there are conservatives out there who do.
Really? They've been called the Democratic Party for a couple hundred years. The "Democrat Party" is what conservatives call the Democrats when they want to be insulting and don't mind sounding childish.abelcainsbrother wrote:Socialismedwardmurphy wrote:Please define "socialism" and give me some examples of how it's being spread by either party.

Also I've never heard the Democrat Party be called the Democratic party but it makes no difference to me.
Instead of pointlessly argue over terminology, why not just state what present specific favored policies and ideas of Democrats or individual politicians you dislike. Political labels can sometimes be rather amorphous or misunderstood. The other thing is that politicians are individuals, and thus not a party, even if they might have some very similar ideas, yet with important nuances. Sometimes, politicians - whether for better or worse / altruistically or cynically manipulative - have evolved in their thinking. So, keep it in the here and now, as to what you don't like about a given party or politician, to heck with arguing over terminology.Back to socialism -
Now that we have a definition can I get some examples of the socialist policies that you insist are cropping up all over our country?
You've got to be kidding. Sarah Palin is a clown. She quit her job as governor to become a pundit, for god's sake. Who does that? How is she even welcome in a political party?Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:I saw on the news last evening that the beautiful Miss Alaska has endorsed HRH Donald Trump.
