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?

It's amazing that you have to divine ability to look over God's shoulders and determine who is Christian and who is not.

I could easily argue that Ted Cruz is NOT a Christian with his Seven Mountains theology. It's not biblical and NOT Christian.

But then again, I'll leave the religious arrogance to you. You can have your establishment, lifetime politician. I'll pick a different path.

“Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program.

Better idea: eliminate H1B entirely, then fix the immigration system so that we give preference to skilled people instead of Third World Muslims.

When the skilled people immigrate, they would be paid market-rate wages. They would also be free to found their own American companies to compete against existing H1B-hiring companies.

Why is Trump pouting? Looks like he wasn’t invited to the party and he’s hurt.

Simple. Look who he’s running against (with the possible exception of Cruz).

We are not going to let establishment folks pick our nominee this time. We don’t care what they say, true or not (since they lie so much, we can’t tell). Our minds are made up. We will not be dissuaded. We don’t care what Trump said or positions he held years ago. We care what he says NOW!

1. Finally building the border fence and securing the border.

Can we trust any of the others to actually follow through? I trusted George W Bush’s promise to build the fence and he LIED.

2. Send illegals back.

The establishment’s mantra that it’s impossible to build a fence and make Mexico pay for it and to send back millions of illegals is just bull$hit. Of course Trump can do it. Start getting tough enforcing immigration laws and MILLIONS will SELF deport. Then we can round up the rest.

3. Vet health care.

Will Trump fix the disgrace that is the VA? You betcha! You see, the difference here is that politicians keep promising stuff and never follow through. I can believe that Trump will do what he says on all these issues.

4. Rebuild the military.

This is a slam dunk, there will be no Rep opposition to this.

5. Fix the economy

It will be a new day in America. No more bad trade deals and repeal existing bad deals. Intelligent tax reform bringing back TRILLIONS of overseas dollars. Kick starting our lagging economy. Creating new jobs. Lowering the capital gain tax. Reining in the EPA, IRS, and other agencies. Repealing Obama’s executive orders, repealing Obamacare and replacing it with a less expensive, state run system, while maintaining a federal system (medicare/medicaid plus) so that no sick person is left behind (to die in the street). I’m sure I left out many others.

6. Appoint CONSERVATIVE judges to all federal courts, including the Supreme Court.

The Cruz narrative that Trump would appoint liberal judges is just ridiculous. Too much is at stake, Trump knows this.

7. Trump will fight and protect us from the Muslim threat.

Yes I said “Muslim”. It’s not the Catholics, the Amish, the Jews, the Christians, the Hindus, the Mormons, the Scientologists, Buddhists, Shintos, Jehovah Witness’, etc.

8. Trump will not be owned by special interests.

He is self funding just for that purpose. He will not be bribed. Also Trump is frugal. “On time, under budget” is almost a Trump motto. Look at how little money he has spent on his campaign. A master at money management.

9. Trump is a true patriot. Trump LOVES America as much as Obama hates America.

I’m sure I left out some, but these are some Huge reasons to support Trump.

But but but Trump USED TO perform abortions in his office, he’s been married and divorced TEN times, he gave billions of dollars to Democrats, and on & on.

How would that CHANGE anything I listed above? It doesn’t. Not one bit.

It has been said that we are not electing a “pope”. Well, we aren’t electing a saint either. We are electing a president, a CHIEF EXECUTIVE. Donald Trump is a great CHIEF EXECUTIVE.

For those who would say “yeah, but Trump lacks experience” (foreign policy etc.) I leave you with this:

“Let me remind you that I have a row of electric buttons in my office. All I have to do is press one of them to call the person who can answer any question on any subject I wish to know, relative to the business at hand. I take care of the business, they take care of the questions. Now would you be so good as to explain why, just to answer your questions, I should have a brain stuffed with general culture, when I am surrounded by employees who can supply any information I might want to know?”

Henry Ford (CHIEF EXECUTIVE)

It means a company can’t import cheap foreign technical workers when we have Americans that want those jobs.

The government already set the wage for the H1B program. The employer does not set it.

Why no mention of immigration? Open borders will kill the GOP. Look at California. That’s Trumps issue, and nobody else was talking about it till he got in. The big donors don’t want it discussed

Donald Trump loves Americans - the people. He will stop the financial bleeding we’ve been experiencing since 1999. He will stop the Muslim colonization of America. He will return us to our Christian-Judaeo foundations.

Getting the country back on track is necessary. If we don’t we will literally lose the country. A ball-busting American man is what we need.

I’ll take Cruz or Trump. I like Cruz, but I love Trump, and that’s why he’s going to win. People recognize he loves them — and they love him right back.

Yep. Pyrrhic victory in Iowa. Enjoy your Waterloo. At least he was sworn into the secret society of compass worshippers. Did he get a participation trophy?
