Sounds a lot like Cruz...

-—True, but much more proactive.

But, does he have the history to back it up?

-—He has a history of accomplishing big (yuge) things in the private sector.

Funny, you didn’t mention that he only wants to keep hard working illegals here.

-—Immigration is a complex issue, and perhaps the most important in this stage of America. I don’t see anyone with a 100% perfect solution, not even Cruz with his visas.

What about the 2nd Amendment?

-—He was for gun control 15 years ago. Now he says he’s pro 2nd. Does he really look as if he’s planning this entire campaign as a sneak attack to pry the guns from our cold, dead hands?

How is he going to make our military stronger?

-—I’m ready to hear the details on that, same as you. We are a long way away from detailed plans from candidates.

How does bombing the oil fields do any good in Middle East policy?

-—How did shooting a missile through Quadafi’s living room do any good in ME policy? These people need to be smacked down, or we won’t be respected. If we aren’t respected, policy don’t mean crap.

Eminent domain?

-—kicking out all illegals as a national policy is a form of claiming eminent domain. My grandparents lost their home through eminent domain. On the totem pole of issues we face as nation, I don’t personally rank it at the top of my worries.

Good answers...thank you for the reasoned responses...you are one of the few Trump supporters who will answer questions honestly.

I love how you put the YUGE in there...sounds like what Trump would say :-) I really like his courage in business...I have read some of his books, they are pretty good.

Yes, immigration is a complex issue. But my issue with Trump supporters is that they say:oh, Trump is so tough on immigration” while he says hard working illegals can stay. Well, ins’t that a form of Amnesty?

You say he was against the 2nd 15 years ago...but are you sure about that? I thought he said something recently about guns that didn’t sit well with some. Still, we bash candidates who are weak on the 2nd...don’t white wash Trumps’s past opposition to that issue.

I know you say, like other Trump supporters, that we are a long way from details in the campaign. Yet, Cruz has laid out many of his plans in detail. Trump, for all of his bombast, really doesn’t answer questions straight on.

Bombing the palace of Quadaffi was one thing...but bombing oil fields without, say, opening up pipelines here is a fools errand. You can’t just bomb and hope it helps. Now, if he had said, bomb the palace in Iran...that would have been Reaganesque :-)

Finally, his recent history of party switching, political donations and affiliations with the Clintons troubles me. Perhaps he has changed. If he is truly the best man for the job, then I will support him in the generals.
