You know, for years now one of things that has annoyed me about politicians is how they say they will “fight” for us, “fight” for what is right, fight for this, fight for that …. ‘If you vote for me, I’ll FIGHT for you!’ They talk a lot about fighting – talk, talk, talk.
I used to think it was only the Democrat politicians who say that, but recently we’ve heard that from Republican politicians too. Here’s Fiorina talking recently about how she and Cruz are “fighters”:
Carly Fiorina says Indiana would have a “fighter” with her as VP
Instead of doing all of this “fighting”, why don’t they actually DO something?
Let’s take those two (Carly and Ted) as an example. What have they actually done? Not a lot, in my opinion. Maybe I’m being overly critical, but I doubt it.
Then I listen to and look at Donald Trump. I don’t listen to every speech, but I did listen to the one earlier today. He’s rough around the edges a bit, yeah. He’s funny, and he’s kind, I believe, at least to the everyday guy or gal. And I believe he is a patriot – I really do.
I haven’t always been convinced, but I am now. Is he perfect? Of course not, but he does have a history of doing and winning. I believe he has plans for our country, and I believe that those plans are driven by what is best for the people – not just what is best for him. Did you hear Kambree Nelson of the Wayne Dupree show talk about her meeting with Trump in California?
And speaking of fighting and doing and WINNING. This is a man who plays to WIN! This is a man who will do whatever he can to win for our country and for us. Sure, he talks, but he talks about what concerns the average man and woman at his rallies. We’ve seen that he can give a policy speech, when that is required, but he speaks to the people who come to listen. He tells them about the big things he plans to do, and why he thinks they need to be done. In my view, the end result will be good for the USA.
I remember when Ronald Reagan was running for President, and after he was elected. He gave people hope. He told them what he planned to do, and why. I remember watching him on television explaining his economic plans, and how he planned to reduce taxes (and I wondered how that would work, exactly, I’ll be honest). Reagan was a leader, and I think Trump is a leader too. He’s not Reagan – I don’t mean that – but he is a leader. From what I have seen of those who work or have worked for him, of his family, and even his ex-wives, he inspires trust, respect and loyalty in those who know him.
Can I prove that Trump will be a good President? Can I pull out statistics and lists of facts to prove it? No, of course not. I can only say that every time I get a strong personal feeling about a person, good or bad, I am usually right.
And then there are his children. Children are, in great part, a reflection of their parents and their upbringing. It is a huge understatement to say that Donald Trump has nothing to be ashamed of where his children are concerned.
Donald Trump has been doing a lot of things right, over the years. And he’s a WINNER.

I had never thought about this. But, somebody fighting for you is not somebody necessarily winning for you. And, besides that, they were lying to us even with saying they would fight.

I guess I’m a tough cookie or hard headed, but I don’t think fighting for me is continuing to take my money, continuing back breaking regulations, continuing to watch and help more and more immigrants, legal and illegal flood into our country while we struggle, continuing to pass bills with enough pages to fill a library, etc. etc.
I think they do a lot, unfortunately what they do hurts us instead of helps us.
So I want someone who does something, but does something for every day Americans and our country. I could be proved wrong, but I think Trump will do that.

My 2 Cents of Sense: The Bull Crap In Indiana Just Gets Deeper
I have to share this with you. Today, almost every commercial here in Indiana has been pro Cruz or anti-Trump. The Cruz campaign must have spent millions to get the message out, as PAC support groups have launched a blitzkrieg assault on Trump. One of the big one’s is named “Action Group” which is directly funded by the Koch brothers. No surprise there, as they definitely DO NOT want Trump anywhere near them or the White House to spoil their little DC party.
Besides back-to-back commercials, they have paid people to go door to door to get support for Cruz, and to spread the lies about Donald Trump. Case in point:
I was at a customer’s home today measuring for a bid. The customer had just left 5 minutes prior, as these 3 girls, about 25 or so in age, came up to the house and rang the door bell. I told them that no one was at home, and as they proceeded to walk to the next house, they stopped to ask if I was planning to vote?
I told them that I sure was, and I’m voting for Donald Trump. Well, the look on their faces reminded me of someone about ready to puke. They asked me why I would be so foolish, and I had to return that same look.
I laughed, and replied that Trump was the best man to right the wrongs in politics, and governance, as America has been going down the tubes since they were babies, yet these past 10 years have been the icing on the cake as far as how the respect for the nation and its people have been ignored due to corruption, deceit, and skillful manipulation of both Parties to transform America into a third-world nation, and converge it into a collective state within the New World Order.
They then tried to tell me that Trump was a part of that, as he is working with the Democrats to get Hillary elected. Trump has no plans of winning, and even if nominated, he will throw the election right into the lap of Hillary and those who are working for globalization.
We went a few rounds back and forth, yet there was no convincing them that Cruz will never beat Hillary, as his respect in Washington was below a zero rating. A righteous conservative movement may be happening with many in America, but Ted Cruz is not the man to lead the charge in it. In fact, he may be detrimental towards the whole movement, itself.
For several elections, I tried to explain to these young clueless and indoctrinated ladies that elections have been rigged, as candidates are chosen far in advance, and the outcome determined long before the election is held. It has been a game of political ping-pong since Reagan, even before, as the Left seems to always win, and we lose out to the establishment every time. This has been Trump’s message, and only Trump can open the can of worms that most of us know, but never spoken about through the media, Internet, and political theater.
If it hadn’t been for Donald Trump, the border would still be a closed subject, as would be on the subjects of fair trade, China and other countries ripping us off, the Mideastern Wars, NATO and the United Nations, Common Core and Agenda 21, how the Left controls politics, the unions, education, the media, spending, and the state of entitlements. Even today, their man Cruz still doesn’t speak of most these things. All three of those girls had no clue as to those subjects I had just referred. They only said that Trump is evil, Trump is rude, Trump was a bigot, a sexists, anti-Islam, anti-Hispanic, and anti-poverty.
The final thing I told them before they rudely walked away is that Trump is anti-poverty, because he wants to help make those who want to succeed, to succeed, and wipe out poverty through entrepreneurial abilities, both from government and from the individual. Only a nation dedicated to itself can out-produce others who work collectively, and that is not what Ted Cruz stands for.
They said that there is nothing wrong with that, and I told them that they just proved my point. Many Americans DO NOT want that, but to return nationalism, liberty, and individual sovereignty to the people.
I asked them which group they were paid by, and they told me “Action Group for Ted Cruz”, then told me I was the problem with America today because I cling to old ways. I responded, you all sound like Hillary or Bernie supporters more than Cruz… I guess the Cruz machine must pay better?
They just flipped me the finger, collectively, and walk away to harass others. I hope others told these girls the same as I.
As of this evening, the day before Indiana’s primary, Donald Trump holds a 9 to 15 point lead, depending on which poll you want to believe. If Trump loses Indiana, it will be because it was rigged, somewhere, because everyone I know is an avid Trump supporter. Those girls were the first I have run into that have said they were for Ted Cruz, as not a single Cruz sign can be seen in any yard, but only by the groups on TV and radio, such as the one who is paying those ladies, to go around bashing the only man who will re-transform America back to its glory days of being on top, and not near the bottom as Obama & Co have taken us.
Though the end of the road nears, we still must be vigilant, because the Powers of DC and the globe will do whatever it takes to derail the Trump Express… even in paying young women to go door to door to spread the lies and deceit they all made up to turn the fools and idiots off to the truth.
Keep after them! We cannot let another snake-oil salesman from abroad to sink this nation further. The only way we will make America great again is by being tough, and steadfast, that we will never surrender.
Thanks for your support!
TRUMP TRUTH!

Cruz’s faltering campaign shows the risks of depending on a few wealthy donors
http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-cruz-donors-20160502-snap-story.html
Now, at perhaps the most desperate moment in his quest to win the Republican nomination, Cruz is learning the perils of relying on strong-willed magnates who carry their own agendas and have demanded an unprecedented level of control in how their money is spent.
One of the three primary donors to Cruz’s presidential efforts, a private equity manager who recruited the other two top donors, has refrained from spending the vast majority of his $10 million contribution to bolster the Cruz campaign. He is instead fighting openly with the top strategist for the super PACs that were set up to spend the money.
The man at the center of the fight, Toby Neugebauer, is a close friend of Cruz and his wife, Heidi. Neugebauer and his own wife have vacationed with the Cruzes, and he still counts himself a major supporter. But he has refused to spend $9 million of the $10 million he put into a super PAC….
“Ted and I are close friends. I am going to support the nominee. I’m not ‘Never Trump,'” he said, referring to the effort among some Republicans to deny Trump the nomination. “I think all that talk is just disgusting and shows a complete lack of understanding of what the middle class is going through in America. I want those voters for Ted in November.”
