"I want America to defend itself and become strong again but it needs to be an example and beacon of freedom.

Few people grok how late in the day it really is. Everything that ever made this country great will be dust and ashes soon if we don't start enforcing our borders.

Any damage Trump might do would be repairable. IMHO, some of it is absolutely necessary. He's a walking litmus test for principle. I may not like his style, but the fact that someone with an ego that huge, and that much to lose, is willing to stake his precious public image and personal fortune to the dirt in defense of US sovereignty and the Bill of Rights earns my respect. He also connects with millennials in a way that none of the other candidates ever could.

The party had the option of supporting good men like Tancredo and Hunter. They made well-reasoned principled arguments and they lost. Some of "our side" participated gleefully in their demise.

The GOPe have been running good men out of DC for a long time, then claiming they can't get anything done up on the Hill due to apathy and momentum. All the while bathing themselves in baksheesh they took in exchange for destroying every last vestige of the party Eisenhower and Reagan built. The only way that adheres to principle is if "principled" is now newspeak for 'pusillanimous'.

It is late in the day. The choices we make today could not only result in economic collapse but loss is U.S sovereignty. World war is possible without the strong stabilizing influence of America. Now, I get that Trump is his own man but he’s at the other extreme on relation to every other politician. He is really only beholden to himself. That can be just as dangerous as being bought and paid for by special interests that don’t coincide with the rights of Americans. And as far as spending his own money, Twitter is free. He has other expenses but he has an army of volunteerrs. He’s not going bankrupt. Win or lose he’ll still have billions.
