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?

By my way of thinking President Trump sounds a lot better than President Clinton or failed Presidential candidate Cruz (And I like Cruz).

I dont really like Trump but I think he would be more respectful of conservatives than the GOPe. Anybody running for the GOP is going to be called a racist and denigrated by the press but Trump won't put up with any PC BS and he will fight back.

Since you are talking in the hypothetical feel free to comment on any of the following questions:
If Trump had been elected president in 2012:
* Would Russia control 20% of our uranium?
* Would Iraq be a disaster?
* Would we still have Obamacare?
* Would the IRS have investigated Tea Party members?
* Would John Christopher Stevens be alive?
* Would anyone have gotten fired at the VA?
* Would Eric Holder have a platform to instigate thugs in Ferguson and Baltimore?
* Would our national debt be as large?
* Would Israel still trust the US?
* Would the coal industry be in better shape?
* Would a record number of Americans on food stamps?
* Would a record number of Americans be out of the work force?
* Would the IRS be planning to give illegal immigrants back-taxes under Obama amnesty?
* Would Iran sanctions be lifted?
* Would Kathryn Steinle be alive?
* Would the USA be normalizing diplomatic relations with Cuba?
* Would Guantanamo Bay be closing?
* Would the EPA be out of control?
* Would deserter Bowe Bergdahl have been traded for 5 terrorists.
* Would we have have to suffer a fool like Josh Earnest and the dead raccoon on the top of his head?
* Would planned parenthood be profiting from infanticide?
* Would the DOJ be sandbagging the Clinton espionage scandal?
* Would Trump have disrespected one the greatest Justices in Supreme Court history?

As bad as Trump may be, I think he will exercise some kind of common sense and respect that the establishment will not. Trump is at worst an arrogant blowhard or possibly an incompetent like Jimmy Carter but he would not be actively sabotaging the USA. And he just might get the Federal Government moving in the direction to make America great again.

Cruz could’ve been the guy to say those things but he wasn’t. So many of us would’ve been with him right now if he had.

He waited for Trump to speak up and then after a safe period of time elapsed he chimed in and said “me too!” That’s not leadership. That’s followership. Sorry. But your guy didn’t go far enough.

Trump is WAY more than head and shoulders above the rest.

The amount is too low for Americans to be able to accept the positions. Also, the H1B visa program is putting Americans out of work.

It is not hard to show that the assigned salary corresponds if you have put most of the people out of work and so driven down wages by foreign H1B recipients foreign workers.

The salary itself IS set by the employer using the guidelines established in the program. The guidelines on salaries are too low, that is the point.

I feel like you are parsing in an attempt to avoid the issue. Am I incorrect in that?

Because Trump is electable and Cruz or Rubio are not. And neither is Romney.

Good grief, did you even read what I posted?

Uh, no. Cruz never said 'me too' to praising Planned Parenthood. Cruz never said 'me too' when Trump called for raising taxes. Cruz never said 'me too' when Trump promised to allow all the good illegals to jump to the front of the line to return to the US. And Cruz definitely never said 'me too' when Trump proposed for the government to pay our health care bills.


Trump is WAY more than head and shoulders above the rest.

When it comes to being a liberal, you are correct. Trump is head and shoulders above Cruz when it comes to supporting touchback amnesty, heaping praise upon Planned Parenthood, and raising taxes.

[the fact that if the dums win this next one, America will become too much of a hellhole to ever escape from]

Nicely done, I call it a coup against all of them and it’s scaring the sh!t out of them because they can’t stop it.

The amount is too low for Americans to be able to accept the positions.

The net wage cost to the employer is the same as it is for Americans. The H1B holder nets out with less money because of the fees the employer must pay to the government on their behalf. The entity that makes money off H1B visas is the US Government.

Also, the H1B visa program is putting Americans out of work.

It is doing no such thing. We currently have a shortage of engineers in this country.

The salary itself IS set by the employer . . .

So the employer - not the government - sets the salary.


. . . using the guidelines established in the program.

The guidelines are that the employer pay the same as they would for anyone else in that position - a salary also set by the employer.

It is a myth that employers are laying off American workers and replacing them with H1B visa holders in order to save money. Any employer doing so is extremely short-sighted. I can assure you that the cost in the long run for doing so would be much higher.

Then how do you reconcile embracing all these far left positions with your membership on a Conservative website?

I suppose you supported Roberts too until he changed Obamacare. Most here thought he was very conservative until then. Non Sequitur.

Help me understand why you post a vanity without marking it in the title?

If you are unable to make up your mind at this late juncture, then anything anyone says won’t sway you.

I’m an American first ... a conservative second. Trump reflects that far better than the two chihuahuas trying to portrait themselves as conservatives. Lawyers make the worst executives ... Reagan was an actor; I’m willing to give a real estate mogul a shot ... if he doesn’t deliver in his first term then I will be the first to vote against him.
