Enough braying
This is not meant to be a food fight so if you want to start one please go to the other 100 threads that is in full battle mode.
Donald Trump shouldn’t be President because he’s mean and swears a lot.
Good luck with that one, I'll return later to see how it unfolded.
:-)
I would also add that a big attraction that I have for Trump is the fact that he is self funding his campaign and is not beholding any special interests. This is “huge” as no other candidate can play the game as purely as the Donald. Add in his approach to renegotiating our horrible one sided trade agreements and for me, Trump checks off a number of important boxes. I totally concur that the wall and border enforcement is the number one issue. Thanks for the essay Bray.
I see. You want a safe zone.
No trigger words
The debate is over.
It's settled science.
Sound familiar?
The problem is...Trump is a NYC liberal, just like Hillary.
PING
I should have posted my thoughts before I read the distracting comments on this thread.
I’ll try tomorrow!
:)
Cruz is my first choice. He is on the right side of almost every issue and has been his entire life. He has proven that he is willing to fight when no one else will. He is exactly the guy we always said we wanted. To not support him now is to walk back everything we ever said.
Trump is my second choice. He is not a conservative, probably not a Christian, he has been all over the map on almost every issue of importance only finding his conservative principles when he decided to run for office. On those issues he doesn’t care about, he will sell us out down the road, and I think most people recognize that and have factored it in to the total picture.
The total picture is that the number one issue for most people these days is national sovereignty, and they sense that on that issue, if only on that issue, Trump is absolutely firm. He has made that the hill he fights and dies on, and has taken enough flak to let people know he isn’t going to back away.
At a time when our manufacturing is being shipped out of the country, our workers are being replaced in the millions by foreign and often illegal workers, at a time when they are trying to bring jihadists in again by the millions, Trump and Cruz are the only ones running who are absolutely firm on the border, on immigration, and on trade. When Trump said he would send back any Syrians Obama decides to let in, that got my attention; most candidates aside from Trump and Cruz have made it plain that they will not roll back anything Obama has done.
Its sad that Trump mostly argues from ad hominem; it works against enemies who will never vote for you. It doesn’t work when you are throwing mud at people whose support you will want later. Despite all that, he remains my second choice after Cruz. I don’t have a third choice.
We finally have a winner who put it all on the line to speak out on illegals, muslims and refugees. He took down Hillary’s talking points by using Bill’s history against him. But it’s not good enough for the purists. Good luck with cruz in the big picture. Trump has been media tested. They’ve thrown it all at him. If nominatwd, Cruz will be palinized so fast your head will spin.
