Trump is the strongman we don't need

Benevolent?

That makes no sense.

Listen to this wise elder. Let him guide you to a third Bush candidacy.

Sounds more like a moron than a strategist--but perhaps not a moron, as he is clearly a dissembler. His comment about Trump not asking God for forgiveness, is a deliberate misrepresentation of what Trump actually said on the subject.

Basically, I do not remember the exact words, he said that he assumed the responsibility to make the matter right, rather than ask forgiveness. In other words, Trump assumed responsibility. What a refreshing change from those who have misled us for the past 23 years, who simply make excuses for their mistakes, and never right any wrongs.

Trump hits the right chord on Amnesty and appears to be opposed to Common Core as well, but I am honestly not trustful of him.

He is tearing into the Republican Establishment on steroids, I give him big credit on that.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz hits the chords on the issues, but won’t talk like Trump.

I support Ted, but even with him I see plenty of room for improvement.

I have no interest in the other candidates at this point and don’t see as much conservatism in them as Cruz.

Dramatic change needs to take place that involves among other things disobeying the judiciary if needed and shutting down government agencies 100 percent to balance the budget.

None of them seem to get to the out of control spending and the ever increasing debt ceiling. That needs a quick solution within months.
