Cruz, I like the guy, he was my second choice in the primaries if my 1st didn’t win; but he has shown a few times to be a bit spineless. Not often, but he has shown weaknesses and I couldn’t say with certainty that he would be able to endure what trump has.

I was put off by Trump when he started running.. ii posted a thread on here asking if he was a hack. I dont like a lot of what he says nor how he comes across. I hate the fact that he burns bridges with folks like General Maddox.
All that aside, when I look at what he has DONE and committed to doing, I pretty much like all of it. He is a bull in the china shop. I guess some of that pretty china needed breaking. GO TRUMP.

Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet. Like him or not, he is exactly what's been needed to get something done for a long time. With the millennial attitude these days, you can't play nice with them and get anything done. You only can agree with what they say/want 100% of the time. THERE IS NO NEGOTIATING WITH THE LEFT. Can you say that out loud as many times as you can stand it? Because that's what its going to take from here on out. Look at what all has happened since he won the election, nothing but Hillary got cheated and impeachment talk. Since day one. They didn't get what they wanted, and by GOD, they are going to kick and scream and throw temper tantrums until that day comes. They won't stop, they've been told they are special all their lives and have had everything handed to them. If you think for a minute that a Reagan, Cruz or anyone else like them could win in todays environment, you are dead wrong. Nice don't win anymore. Trump plays them like a fiddle, and they can't figure him out. Love it.
MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who will not vote for Trump in November
[quote=diamond10x;14004821]No joke. The guys that lived through Reagan and loved him don’t realize, even him being one of the best if not best president in the last 100 years, Reagan wouldn’t even stand half a fighting chance today. There is not 1 person I can think of other than DJT that could have and has stood up and been able to handle all the BS thrown at them.
Some of you that call yourselves republicans/conservatives that don’t like trump and won’t vote for him need to take notes from the dems. If there is one thing they are good at, it’s sticking together. When it all comes down to it and SHTF they will band together no matter what, not whine and waste their vote even if their primary pick didn’t

With a republic you have some guidelines (the Constitution) that lay some ground rules.......no eating sheep even if 75% of the constituency wants too.Originally posted by texasnavy05 View PostThat's a pure democracy right?
Afaik a "representative democracy" and a "republic " are synonymous. But it's been a while since I've had a civics class.

The distinction between a republic and a democracy (any democracy) is the constitution. Both are governments ruled by the people. A democracy doesn't necessarily have to have a set of guidelines like the constitution, where a republics key is the constitution. With the constitution we keep the representatives on a chain...kind of ... it also sets our voting procedures for each electable branch.
Now, when you throw in the true democracy vs representative democracy you get a difference in how the vote are cast. A true democracy is one where the people have a direct say in everything. But, the majority population wins. The representative democracy is where you vote for a representative to vote on your behalf (much like what we do).
So, no a republic and a representative democracy are not the same, a democracy does not have to abide by a constitution.

Originally posted by diamond10x View PostI get your point, but it’s also just one of numerous theories to why Hillary lost and trump won. You can agree to disagree but I would go as far as to say it’s a fact that Democrats are dang good at coming together when it counts, much better than Republicans/conservatives, who cut each other down. Maybe that statement is just a theory as well.
Funny thing though, they have started that they have to come together and get over it. Anybody but Trump is what they are saying. Seems familiar

So, we are a republic, or "constitutional representative democracy" for short. lol
btw, how does north korea call itself a democratic republic? Seems like a monarchy to me. i didnt think they were "democratic" or "republic"
