Help me understand: Why do YOU support Donald Trump?
Self

Posted on 02/27/2016 10:57:00 AM PST by sampai

As far as I can tell, Donald Trump is an unprincipled vulgarian. He would make a big show of deporting illegal aliens, only to "let the good ones back in." He supports single-payer healthcare. Before he flipped on the issue, he wanted to admit tens of thousands of Syrian "refugees." He has very un-American strongman tendencies.

Yet he's leading in the Republican primaries. So please help me understand: How would President Trump be better than, say, President Cruz?

Very nice post.

I think you’ve captured the profile of your average Trump-hater.

It looks like he posts once every three and a half years. So he’s on a roll now.


He might have a life.

Tell it to Sheriff Joe and Gov Brewer. They’ve endorsed Trump.

I watched one of his rallies last fall and he said one thing that struck me. That our military would no longer have to work and live in gun free zones. They shouldn’t be sitting ducks while they serve. I am an Army/NG mom, and this is very important to me. He is not going to leave our guys (and gals) twisting in the wind. Yes, I believe him, and many of us plan to hold him to it.

As far as I can tell, most Trump supporters seem disinterested in Trump’s long history as an avowed liberal on almost every issue worth discussing, or the fact that he has been an avowed conservative for all of five minutes. It seems to me that this is the year when patience with the establishment has finally run out. Anger is at such a boiling point that I really don’t think most Trump supporters even care about the general election. They are just so furious with the GOP leadership and moderate Republicans that all they are looking for is an opportunity to flip the GOPe the middle finger. And Donald Trump is the perfect medium for that.

You won’t vote GOP over Hillary if Trumps the nominee, right?

LOL

I’ve used the “he’s the right wrench to throw into the wheels of The Cheap Labor Express” before.

Yours is more descriptive.

Another freeper described him as the runaway train filled with explosives that we have set loose aimed at the Distict of Corruption.

The bull in the RINO shop

The citizens wrecking ball

I see you are a FREE THINKER as well. But hold on a minute as that may not last long, Trump has stated he wants new libel laws. What you think of that? That could seriously change our minds about him.

No I’m not voting out of anger. I want a different immigration policy than Ryan and Rubio and the Bushes have given us. It will kill the Republican Party over time

I will hold my nose and vote for Rubio. He is pretty reliable on everything but immigration. That’s a bit better than Trump who is reliable on...

I will get back to you when I can think of something I would trust him on.

You begin your question with an ad hominem attack. You proceed to make three assertions that have already been disproven (many, MANY times) and finish with another ad hominem attack.

You have no interest in the truth. You’re merely starting another flame thread.

At first, I welcomed baiting comments like yours. It helped me sharpen my teeth. But now people like you are beginning to look sad and desperate.

I’m sick and tired of going over the same material with people who have no interest in actually learning something. My name is not Google. You’re an adult and, I presume, that you have basic search skills. If you really wanted answers, you’d already have done the research for yourself.

Just pitiful.

Donald J. Trump will be our nominee when we wake up Wednesday morning.

I suggest that you embrace ‘the horror’ and learn to love the Don.

If planned parenthood taught young couples and women responsibly and weren’t allowed to perform abortions or refer women to abortionists, etc.

But they do perform abortions. It is their core mission.

You’re full of it. Look at his posting history. If you find some nefarious agenda there, you’re paranoid.

You’re the one that smells bad.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The Republicans lost me when that farkwad W. Bush said that we should just "move on" after Clinton pillaged the White House on his way out, and Sandy Berger went to the National Archives to edit and black line the Clinton files that hadn't been shredded.

They should have been in prison, or put up against a wall.

And you believe Trump will deliver this because???

Bearing in mind he has a very long track record of being on the other side of this issue. As he does with almost every issue you could name.
