Let me start by saying this election is NOT ABOUT TRUMP....
It’s about we the people are frustrated with the stinking Establishment politicians in Washington that no longer represent us. Trump is simply a manifestation of that anger
Now here is what I know about Trump.
You are concerns are very real, and I get that.
The people closest to Trump that have known him for years say this is the Real Donald Trump. The guy you saw before was the businessman in a big liberal city. In order to do business in New York then Trump had to play the game. I get that. Nevertheless, the people closest to him, like Roger Stone, said what we are seeing is the real Donald Trump.
If Trump would have said these things he does now before as a businessman, then he would have been out of business in a New York minute.
The fact that Trump is paying is own way means he does not owe anyone special favors. He’s is not bribed, on the take, etc.. Moreover, Trump could easily be on an island some where sip drinks for the rest of his life. Instead Trump is getting into a tough business.
The reason Trump is doing it is because he is worried that his children and grand children will not have the America he grew up to.
Trump is the only one who brought up the immigration issue. No one even talked about it. Trump attacks political correctness, illegal immigration, jobs going overseas, wants to build a strong military, take care of our vets, is anti Common Core, for low taxes and wants to bring jobs back home. Trump does all this while the rest stick their fingers in the air and consult with their advisers if it’s politically correct to talk about it.
America is frustrated with Washington. Now if Trump gets in Washington and starts doing the opposite of everything he is saying, then we will criticism him. Believe me I will be watching him.
To be frank, I’m sick of the same old song and dance. This Republic is on the verge of collapse. I don’t think it can survive another 8 years of an Establishment politician.
Could not have said it better myself. Stand by for incoming Cruzbots. ;-)
You couldn’t be more wrong on almost everything you say. Having “blind faith” in Trump’s flip-flops is as unjustified as Obama-maniacs thinking he’ll turn back the tides on the sea. And Roger Stone is your proof? The guy who posed nude in a swingers’ ad in the ‘90s and who Trump fired this year? THAT’S your reliable conservative source? REALLY?
We created the Tea Party and endorsed candidates like Ted Cruz because of our frustration with D.C. Trump had NOTHING to do with that movement. It’s now time to put a proven Tea Party agent of change who hates the D.C. establishment in the White House, and that’s Cruz.
We have plenty of businesses like Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fil-A who went to court to FIGHT for their rights to not give money to liberal causes or pro-abortion activity. Those are the true conservatives. Not someone who sold out his “values” to make some quick cash. If you believe those were his values, which is a laugh.
Trump is as powerful a brand and businessman as any. And despite everything he’s said, his business hasn’t closed up shop. He expects his kids to keep running it. So the idea that he “couldn’t” speak his mind before is ludicrous. You think something would have been done to him if he DIDN’T advocate for an assault weapons ban, a wealth tax on millionaires, partial-birth abortion, etc.? By his own admission, he gave donations to get what he wanted. You think someone would have stopped him over a minor political disagreement? Plus he simply could have KEPT QUIET about his views. He didn’t need to, unprompted, write in a book he wanted an AWB.
Even now, Trump is NOT for real conservative reform on many issues. He supports expanded NSA surveillance of phone calls, no reform on entitlements, no flat tax or fair tax or stopping deductions (a huge aspect of crony capitalism), Obama’s opening trade with Cuba, the government paying for universal health care for anyone who needs it, and letting back in “good” illegals.
Cruz is NOT politically correct. He is NOT establishment. He doesn’t stick his finger in the wind to make decisions. It’s actually Trump who does that. Even within the course of one speech you can see him adjusting his tone and statements to get more support from the crowd. Cruz is for every conservative thing Trump is, anti-Common Core, pro-military, pro-vets (is any candidate NOT pro vets?), and a WHOLE LOT MORE.
The immigration issue was brought up in the LAST primary. Gingrich said he was not for deportation, Romney said he was for self-deportation. They all went on record on the issue. Why in the world would it not have been brought up in this primary? But, hey, it’s been brought up now. Fine. If that’s all we got out of Trump, good. Let’s send him on his merry way now.
