As to your list of attributes, I don't doubt them. Those are good average American patriot opinions. But I am looking for someone who can put those opinions into a speech and illustrate why they are good opinions...

So you want a good public speaker, who can win...Like Rubio...

I respect your choice anyway, but it doesn’t seem you have an argument against Trump’s lack of integrity.

I'm guessing Trump has more integrity than I have so that makes him a winner in my book...

Jimmy Carter had a lot of integrity...

They said all the same things about Reagan but now he is one of the all time great presidents.

This is probably the same crew that was against Reagan...

I forgive him everything as long as he shuts the border, kicks out illegals and negotiates well with our allies and adversaries. It looks to me that he will.

Most of cooks stuff are arguments about how trump handled crap sandwich questions.

You drove by and dropped that off so fast to convince you of anything but...’I will be looking into that’.

I think I’m voting for Ted Cruz after hearing Trump support ethanol, wind power and govt. college subsidies at the same Iowa event.

Love Trump but I’m starting to wear down with this stuff.

Didn’t Trump raise his hand when asked if he would forgo pledging to support the eventual Republican nominee? I for one like the idea of a strong leader who is willing to listen. The evidence so far is that he listening to Coulter and Sessions. Immigration (sic) is the ONLY issue that matters in this election.

You’ve made up your mind about Trump. It’s not my job to convince you otherwise. Every hit piece posted, every Bill Kristol, every George Will, every poll supposedly showing Trump has peaked only make it plain to me that my vote for Donald Trump is well placed.

All of your “issues” are strawmen. Every election has issues that must be dealt with. This time it is “immigration” (invasion), Obamacare, and Islamic terror. Trump owns this issues, and you know it.

When I look at Trumps detractors, Medved, Beck, Will, Orielly, etc., it occurs to me that I stopped listening to them long before the Donald took the stage.

Cooke's piece nicely tees up my feelings about Trump and his ideology.

Convince me I wrong.

You are 100% correct.

That is how you feel.

There is only one issue that matters this time- immigration. If you don’t have borders you lose your language, culture, and peace. Trump is from the Coulter/Sessions wing on this issue. Cruz comes close, but he doesn’t completely convince. If you think ethanol changes the face of your country I don’t really know what to say to you.

“In the past few days, Trump has been asked variously whether, if elected, he would use his power to close mosques; whether he believes that Muslims should be registered in a special government database”

One religion in the world is responsible for approximately 99.999% of terrorism, murder, mayhem, and strife. No one has the right to immigrate here. Of course we have the right to reject the entry of persons who come here who could be dangerous. If they cannot prove that they are peaceful they should be barred from entry. The onus should be on them.

If they are admitted to enter, it only makes sense that they should be monitored in case their jihadi alter ego emerges. If they don’t like it, give them a one-way ticket back to Krapistan.

I’m a lot more concerned with the safety of American lives and the peace and security of our country than I am over whether CAIR and the muslim brotherhood get their feelings hurt.

He’s already said yes to ethanol and wind subsidies and his supporters don’t have the stones to vet their boy.

These don't even get the back seat...I've rented a trailer for them to ride in...

When we have thousands of terrorists coming into the Country the last thing I'm worried about is wind subsidies...

Finally, someone who gets it. There are only a handful of boxes that MUST be checked to stop Obama’s transformation.
Immigration
Obamacare
Terror
Trump owns these issues because he’s smart enough to see the danger.
If ethanol or any other craven concern enters your thought process you have failed to recognize the enemy.

Just to add to your post...
Only one religion can’t peacefully “coexist” with others or even themselves-
iSlam.
(It no longer gets capitalization from me.)

What a great observation! I’ve been turned off to those guys for at least 3-5 years now.

Actually I have found the majority of posters who are critical of Trump, support Cruz.

That is what I don’t like. The two of them are not in opposition.

We should not be, here either.
