    I think instead it makes people think that Trump is so bad that even Cheney doesn't like him.

    The point is that when Trump could have done what was best for America, by having his line manufactured by Americans, he chose to have them made in China, Mexico and Chile. Trump will do what's best for Trump and doesn't care one bit about American jobs.

    lol, Trump was in the business to make money. If you can have your product made by slaves and double your profit, you will.

    The real problem is from those in our government who were purchased by billionaires, sold out America and the American dream.

    Ill let you guess who legalized selling out America to slave owners in foreign countries.

    Lemme know if you need a hint.

    Cheney misses the lime light. Hardly no one pays attention to him anymore except for the hyper political and people on sites like this one. It is no secret the Republican establishment does not trust Trump. He is always doing worst than any other major candidate against Clinton and he keeps sticking his foot in his mouth when it comes to attracting independent voters.

    If I were a Democrat I would be pulling for him 110%.

    For your info, my Reform Party may be looking at Jim Webb as its candidate. If so, that will be where all my time and energy goes. I like Webb. There are 3 other declared candidates for the Reform Party nomination, but if Webb agrees, that who I'll be supporting and voting for.

    Exactly! So that's where he should stay.

    He makes an okay businessman (although I do not approve of his technique to use the system to declare "bankruptcy" when it suits him, without getting hurt by it, but hurting his employees in the process), but he would make a revolting, ridiculous President!

    America would lose all credibility, and he would NEVER be welcomed by ANY foreign leader!

    Not necessarily - there are companies that proudly make products in America because it's the right thing to do. When Trump had the choice between doing what's best for Americans and what's best for Trump he chose himself. He will always do that.

    She is not T-Rump, Bush-3rd, Rubio, Cruz, Christie, Fiorina, etc, etc.

    That makes at least 15 "redeeming qualities" by my count.

    That might drop a tad next year as the weeding begins.

    Sarkozi never called Obama 'insane'. Watch what happens to America's credibility over the next while as Trump gets really into it. His comments about barring Muslims are leading the news in most foreign countries today - the risk is in America becoming a punch line.

    Personally I do not like Cheney...he seems a bit stupid and after the Iraq fiasco he gets some blame. In this case however he has a point. Not the point he is stating but the simple fact the Trump plan is not possible without becoming a fascist nation. I am all for setting standards and even discriminating against obvious Islamic threats, even if simply possible. But, removing an entire religion is not possible, nor even a good idea.

    We are still America after all.

    umm...ummm...oh! I got it. She can be used as an anti policy tool.

    A group is getting to pesky? Just send Clinton in and let her join. I'm sure by the time shes done with that group, all support for that group would be liquidated.

    Shes a useful tool

    All Donald Trump has done is talk about restricting Muslim immigration into America; Dick Cheney, on the other hand, is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims throughout the Middle East. So, yea, Trump is repugnant and objectionable, but Dick Cheney is practically the devil, which makes his attempts to stick up for Muslims as demented as it is unseemly.

    Well, it was inevitable that if Cheney and I lived long enough, that we'd eventually disagree.

    What Mr. Cheney is missing is that Islam is not a Religion, per se.

    It's a Political Cult posing as a Religion, as a means to acquire political power.

    There is no right to THAT!

    "Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery,
    Terrorism and Islam:

    Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

    Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

    When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious
    privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well..

    Here’s how it works:

    As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.

    It is a trick:

    United States — Muslim 0..6%

    Australia — Muslim 1.5%

    Canada — Muslim 1.9%

    China — Muslim 1.8%

    Italy — Muslim 1.5%

    Norway — Muslim 1.8%

    At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

    Denmark — Muslim 2%

    Germany — Muslim 3.7%

    United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%

    Spain — Muslim 4%

    Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

    From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

    For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamicstandards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims.They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply.

    At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law.

    The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

    When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions.

    In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections. FRANCE

    After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

    At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, from 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

    After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim.”

    See the Problem?

    Maybe you should consider the thought that things are not always left or right. Cheney opposes Trump because Trump is a threat to the banking globalist establishment that both you and Cheney support. You have been on Cheney's side all along. You just disagreed with him on some insignificant details.

    Exactly...when someone like Cheney says you have gone too far...you've gone too far.

    He wasn't alone in that. The entire republican establishment were right in line...as were the republican voters.
