The More Donald Trump Defies His Party, the More His Supporters Cheer

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Mark Jebens, a veteran of 22 years in the Marine Corps, found no fault with Donald J. Trump’s scathing criticism that President George W. Bush “lied” about weapons of mass destruction while leading the United States into war in Iraq.

“At the end of the day, a lot of good Marines and sailors and airmen died over something that wasn’t there,” said Mr. Jebens, who served three combat tours in Iraq. “So you’ve got to ask tough critical questions. In the military we called it a debrief or a hot wash.”

Mr. Trump’s hot wash of Mr. Bush in a debate on Saturday, including a suggestion that he did not heed intelligence warnings before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, convinced many Republicans that Mr. Trump had finally gone too far, tarring a former president who is popular in military-friendly South Carolina, and uttering charges that Rush Limbaugh, for one, called “liberal Democrat lingo.”

But numerous military veterans interviewed at Trump rallies in South Carolina this week, including Mr. Jebens, said they had no problem with Mr. Trump’s comments, even if they did not entirely agree with him.

At the same time, the stubborn popularity of Mr. Trump, who defies Republican orthodoxy on issue after issue, shows how deeply the party’s elites misjudged the faithfulness of rank-and-file Republicans to conservatism as defined in Washington think tanks and by the party’s elected leaders.

Voluntary contribution i.e. noncoercedly paying dues if you find it in your interests to do so.

Ok so how do you pay the army for example? You hire soldiers and you tell them "ok everyone, you might get paid if we have enough donations. If we don't well you'll have to eat your hands but we might get enough don't worry!"

That is what militias are for.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..."

A militia is a group of people volunteering for being the police no? You want this all around your country you sure? xD

[mainpmf]

Yeah and only the welthy could afford any of those, the other ones were just dying in the street.

Though in the case of the USA, I have to admit it didn't change this much...

And could you explain me how did you have an army without taxes? Cause nobody ever managed to do that ever....

Such is the natural process of life. A secondary market for many of those things continue to be developing. Knowledge and increased connectivity/cooperation continues to optimize costs. Now nearly everyone has some form of access to transportation etc. If the wealthy who are in the position to utilize resources to build those things, didn't build them to satisfy a demand in the market, we'd be progressing a bit more slowly.

And could you explain me how did you have an army without taxes? Cause nobody ever managed to do that ever....

From my Roman lit class, a lot of motivation for war came comes from want of loot. Mercenaries are a thing, too.

Wonderful so now humanity goal is to take example of natural process? Whaou, me who always thought that the first goal of humanity was to get elevated above nature and its rules... Seems I've been wrong my whole life!

Yeah so America managed to pay the army with donations Wanna make me believe this??

I'm just giving an example of how it's possible to have an army without involving taxes.

In the Revolutionary War, one could either move West or be free to affiliate with a colony and be voluntarily subject to their own tax laws, laws of which they would presumably have representation with. For the colonists, they decided that it was in their best interests to raise armies against an oppressor who they felt impeded their personal growth.

But too often we pay armies through debt.

Poll: Trump beats Clinton head-to-head




A new poll finds Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton losing to four top Republican presidential contenders, including Donald Trump, in hypothetical general election matchups.

Clinton trails Republican primary front-runner Trump by a 45-43 margin head-to-head, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday.

Clinton also loses to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), 45-44, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), 48-42 and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 49-38.

Her Democratic primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), fares slightly better against the GOP competition, besting Cruz by a 44-42 margin.

But Sanders still loses to Trump by 1 point, 44-43, Kasich by 3, 44-41, and Rubio by 4, 46-42, head-to-head.

Many of the results are within the poll’s 3-point margin of error.

“Bernie Sanders is closing the Democratic primary gap and is stronger than Hillary Clinton in the general election,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, said in a statement.

Paleologos also highlighted Kasich’s strong showing in the general election match-ups, on the heels of his second-place finish in New Hampshire.

“On the Republican side, John Kasich’s strong second-place showing has made him more appealing in the general election than Marco Rubio, who faltered in the Republican debate leading up to New Hampshire,” he said.

The USA Today/Suffolk poll surveyed 1,000 voters by telephone from Feb. 11–15.

Pope Francis Suggests Donald Trump Is ‘Not Christian’

ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRLINER — Inserting himself into the Republican presidential race, Pope Francis on Wednesday suggested that Donald J. Trump “is not Christian” because of the harshness of his campaign promises to deport more immigrants and force Mexico to pay for a wall along the border.

“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” Francis said when a reporter asked him about Mr. Trump on the papal airliner as he returned to Rome after his six-day visit to Mexico.

The pope’s remarks came during a wide-ranging, midair news conference in which he also waded into the question of whether the Roman Catholic Church should grant an exception to its prohibitions on abortion and birth control in regions where the Zika virus is causing a public health emergency, including in much of Catholic-dominated Latin America.

Researchers say pregnant women are especially at risk, noting that the virus may be responsible for a spike in cases of microcephaly, a condition in which newborns have unusually small heads and brains.

It is a good thing you can't vote in the US, but as long you are entertained by Hollywood movies and Mc Donald burgers, you do your part to make America stronger.

Don't forget: HBO's Game of thrones is back in april. Hope your uTorrent* is ready

NEWBERRY, S.C. (Reuters) - Pope Francis forcefully injected himself into the U.S. presidential campaign on Thursday, assailing Republican candidate Donald Trump's views on U.S. immigration as "not Christian" in a sign of growing international concern at the billionaire businessman's election prospects. 

[galdur]

Feel the Bern, feel the Concern. International concern? Yeah, I guess garbage media around the world is portraying Donald Trump as a crazy loon/rabid dog. I´m sure that what they hate most of all about him is the lack of political correctness. Now; that is a crisis.
