Thanks for input. Agree Cruz/Fiorina ticket could win big time.
Do you have any idea how much your last sentence makes you sound like another Trump temper tantrum?
#1: Donald Trump is a 21st Century political phenomenon. Why is that so? Two reasons: We believe him when he says he will fight. Secondly, he is not dependent on raising campaign cash. The democrats and some Republicans are using the old play book. Damage the candidate early and their campaign cash will dry up; causing them to go away. Trump is not going away.
#2: If you like Donald Trump, or dislike him, why? (Please be specific.) He is a sharp and willing spear. If we can just aim him correctly, he will make the democrats and our other enemies bleed. The only question is whether we can adjust his aim correctly.
3: Forgetting about demeanor and delivery, what Conservative positions/platforms does Mr. Trump have that you like the most. Improper immigration is the greatest danger to this nation and the conservative cause. We can withstand a nuclear weapon going off on our soil, be we cannot withstand the permanent harm that improper immigration will do to us. Both legal and illegal.
4: Forgetting about demeanor and delivery, what positions does Mr. Trump have that you like the least? The unknown. We don’t know enough about where he is coming from and where he wants to take us.
5: There are other strong Conservatives in the race for the nomination, for example Senator Cruz and Governor Huckabee. Which Trump position or positions are more Conservative than the Senator or Governor? (Again, please stay away from the demeanor or style of delivery, but rather stick to specific policies.) His focus on global economic competitiveness. He is more focused on giving our businesses a significant competitive boost.
6: Mt Trump espoused some strong Conservative positions in the debate. Which was most important to you? Again, the fight against improper immigration.
6: Mr. Trump has espoused some very liberal policies in the past, especially one that are objectionable to Conservatives. Which of those bothers you the most? I don’t think he fully has his act together yet on health care.
7: Mr. Trump has espoused some very liberal policies in the past, especially one that are objectionable to Conservatives. How sure are you that he is simply not engaging in the political trick of telling the audience what he thinks they want to hear, and why are you sure/unsure about that? He has a long track record of not telling people what many people think they want to hear. Now that he is a candidate, he is a little squishy on some of the topics, but not much.
8: Like many politicians, when pressed, Mr. Trump seemed to have few specifics about his accusations or plans. Does that bother you and why? I don’t think he has put that kind of team together to advise him yet. He is very knowledgeable on a lot of national and international items; but he has not put together the solutions yet.
9: Mr. Trump has touched a nerve in Americans who feel disenfranchised. If elected, how would he turn that into actual improvement for all Americans, as opposed to simply more angry Americans. There are two key things about Mr. Trump: He is willing to take risks and really make things happen, not just talk about them.
10: In his books, Mr. Trump says he favors saying and doing anything to get an advantage in a business deal. Would that work for him as President? It will put are enemies and soft enemies off their game significantly, but sometimes is could lead to a significant if not spectacular setback.
11: In what some have called vicious personally attacks, Mr. Trump has gone after people who do not agree with him. If President, would that work in DC, or are they simply Sol Alinsky tactics, and if so, would they would work as President, and how? He needs to rap the claws in fur by switching to the art of backhanded complements. A little anesthesia with the dagger.
12: A 3d party candidate would split the Right vote and hand the election to the Democrats. Should Trump run as a 3d Party candidate if he does not get the Republican nomination? Trump is using business negotiating tactics on the RNC. He is just holding the threat of the 3rd party run over their heads to make them play nice. If they play nice and he loses, no 3rd party. If they play nasty and he loses, all bets are off.
13: Did your opinion of Trump increase or decrease as a result of the debate? A mild increase.
14: Could you please list the leading candidates, ranking them from most Conservative to most Liberal?
Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum, Dr. Ben Carson, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, ......, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham.
15: Assuming Mt. Trump gets the Republican nomination, how would you advise him to attack Hillary Clinton in the general election. “She doesn’t really care.” and “She has failed at everything she has touched. With the exception of destroying the women Bill had an affair with.”
If it has to be explained to you, then you’ll never understand.
Thank you for your input. I don’t agree with you on every point but your opinions are obviously well thought out.
You know who I meant. I didn’t spell check her name.
And I don’t know about you, but the word anything is pretty inclusive to me. I don’t have to prove anything.
As I said there are plenty of other reasons not to vote for Trump IMO.
It’s not a question of me “getting it.” It’s about whether or not enough Americans will “get it” so the Dems cannot elect their candidate in 2016.
That is all that counts.
You are really bent on twisting words to hang people aren’t you.
I knew it. Yer a 'weak sister' of conservatism. Yer implication is that Jeb would be a viable alternative to Hillary. He'd be nearly as bad. Also, you blame conservatives in the Romney-Obama debacle, when the real blame falls on the Republican Elitists.
I just knew I'd find a post like this. You establishment patsies are as predictable as the premise that "Obama will lie today".
