With the understanding that I will get hammered by the Trump supporters on this page, I have some questions for you about your candidate:
First, WHY do you support Trump? Is it only because he talks tough? Do you have HISTORY to prove he means what he says on this issue?
Second: Other than screaming about illegal immigration (he is right about it), talking about bombing oil fields and that Persians are smooth negotiators, WHAT other issues does he understand? On what other issues is he Conservative?
Third: Who do all of you expect Trump to choose for the SCOTUS?
Fourth: Can you prove Trump is different from his past as a Democrat...can you prove he is Conservative? how? (please don't feed us the BS that Reagan was once a Democrat...Trump isn't Reagan)
Fifth: How do you reconcile his flip-flopping on issues like Immigration, guns, abortion and OBAMACARE and Hillary?
Sixth: Can anyone explain WHY Trump supported Obama in 2012?
Seventh: Why, suddenly, in 2012, did his donations INCREASE to Republicans when he first decided to run as a GOP candidate for POTUS? Why was he a Democrat donor before then? (don't give me the 'Oh, well, he had to do business in NY crap, either...he gave to candidates outside of NY).
Finally, how can you all be certain that Trump isn't a trojan horse? How can recent talking points outweigh his recent history of comments, etc?
If Trump really is who you think he is...prove to us WHY you think this.
Is that you, Rove?
Yeah, this belongs in Chat not News/Activism
Since he doesn’t subscribe to any ideology I trust him in getting some things right accidentally. People like Jeb and most GOPe are actually subscribers of left wing ideology so they will alway get it wrong
He, possibly, is an American nationalist. Since none of the other ones are, that is sufficient for me until a better nationalist shows up.
All good questions. Trump tells people what they have been dying to hear. Like a Snake oil salesman. If you shook hands with Trump you would be advised to make sure you have all your fingers.
Good questions and I’m sure Trump will answer all of them.
Life is full of uncertainties. One thing is different with Trump, he is financially independent. We have never had such a candidate before.
Vacuous Entertainment Ping.
He wrote a book in 2011 called “Time to Get Tought”. He is saying pretty much the same things now he did in that book.
I do have to ask... how is this ‘supporting Obama in 2012”?

As far as donations go... I did some homework a few years ago and businesses are notorious for donating to everybody. GM, Amazon, Google... they ALL donated to both parties. If you go through the lists of companies who donated to both presidential candidates - you’ll find that companies donated to both candidates almost every time.
That’s how they buy favor with Washington.
He’s not going to be ‘squeaky clean’ because he’s not a career politician. He’s a businessman first.
I appreciate him saying, “This is how the system works. It’s great for big business, but horrible for America.” He’s calling it out.
Win or lose, it’s a good thing to shine light on the BS.
I’ll take two.
Second question; It’s jobs. You may think he’s good on illegals, and he is. He’s much better on jobs, and creating an environment which will foster American jobs.
Third question; This more of a hope on my part than a certainty, Ted Cruz.
Why did he criticize Pamella Gellar for taunting the goat humpers?
Get your terms straight, Trump isn’t talking tough, rather he is saying what many a man in the street has been expecting to hear, not these past 6 years but these past 30 or 40 years.
I don’t feel the need to prove anything on demand from another Freeper. Ever.
Even if I had a dissertation lined up as an answer, I wouldn’t post it after such a demand was made.
So sorry that some of us can’t articulate ours support to your liking.
You can shove your condescension.
I support Trump because he has focused the dialogue where it needs to be and left the guys like Jeb playing defense. All good stuff. Do I think he will make it all the way-No. But I would be Ok with him winning. Better than JebPerryLinda and the rest of the 12 dwarfs. As far as SCOTUS goes he would choose better than any DEM.
Sorry Fellow, my remarks were directed at TNMOUTH not you. I apologize.
“If Trump really is who you think he is...prove to us WHY you think this.”
Who’s us?
I want to know who is paying you for this slop-stick of a survey?
To one degree or another, these are questions that should be aksed of all the Republican candidates.
I guess the thing to do would be for somebody to take each question and change "Trump" to the name of each candidate running and come up with some sort of scorecard.
Even my fave, Scott Walker, has some 'splainin' to on a few of these questions.
But, I do have to admit, I do enjoy watching Trump cause aneurisms among the Men Seeking Men mediums.
Besides, as long as we have John Boner and Miotch McConnell running the House and Senate, what the hell difference does it make who the President is?
If I may hijack the thread for just a moment; spend more time getting to know your local representatives (notice I didn't use the word "officials") and getting them voted into office so we can start building a farm team for future Presidential elections.
