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?

If Trump doesn’t deliver, then we will be seeing 20 consecutive years of Democrat rule in the White House. The next chance of getting a Conservative will be 2028. I’m not willing to take that chance when we could instead have a Conservative in 2016.

What exactly have the conservatives in congress accomplished?

Obamacare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Anchor babies outlawed?
National debt reduced?
Abortion restricted?
China trade deficit reduced?
Food stamp growth curbed?
Welfare growth reduced?
Fraud in Medicare & Social Security under control?

Trump will deliver at least 3 or 4 of above, Which the
conservative career politicians have failed to deliver.
That is why I support Trump.

Perhaps you missed this?

Cruz: “He flew back to D.C. Tuesday night, argued a complicated trademark case Wednesday morning, and returned immediately to Florida to continue helping us represent the president. Few, if any, other lawyers could have accomplished such a feat. Judge Roberts is a lawyers’ lawyer. And that matters immensely, especially for the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Cruz published a highly complimentary piece about Roberts in National Review with the obvious purpose of advocating for his confirmation.

Pretty much sums it up.

I'm glad you take such comfort in straw man beat downs.

Pretty much validates my observations of Cruz supporters.

Yes, I did miss that. Thanks for your correction. But it is still pertinent that Cruz recommended Luttig over Roberts.

I’ve seen it played out too many times just here on FR. The joke wouldn’t have been funny if it hadn’t been mostly true.

Sorry, I’ve seen too many cogent answers blatantly ignored in favor of projected cliches to appreciate the humor.

Seems like you got the idea of winning stuck so deeply in your head that you haven’t even stopped to ponder what you are “winning”....Winning a RINO for prez is hardly something to rave about....but go ahead if it makes you feel better.

Most of the clichés here I’ve seen have come from Trump supporters...stuff like “build the wall” and Trump can “win win win”, and “make America great again”.....all sorts of rhetoric that Trump puts out without backing it up with some sort of plan...

Well I feel your butt hurt. Well not really. But get the whining over with so we can all move on. :-)

Nobody’s whining. There is just you boasting and gloating endlessly day in and day out. Nobody can mention anything about Trump without you going into this mode it seems...

Tell me, are you in the habit of revealing your groundbreaking strategy when you KNOW the goal of that strategy has been thus far successfully thwarted?

"Hey Coach, what's your plan for beating Midtown in the big grudge match on Saturday?"

Planned Parenthood has exactly ZERO mammogram machines in the entire country, so Trump has no clue about what PP actually does.

Trump needs to be very careful with who he selects as his VP. Trump will commit some sort of high crime or misdemeanor within his first six months; and anyone who thinks the GOP and the Democrats would join up to impeach him could very well be mistaken. If Trump’s civil RICO trial gets ugly for him, the GOP may find a way to dump him, or get him elected and then impeach him.

The only person Trump could name as his VP running mate that would cause Congress to hesitate is Ted Cruz.

Trump is a time bomb, and he will explode at some point.

Have you noticed the number of Trumpbots that have registered with FR from July, 2015 to the end of 2015, and they are the most rabid. You think it’s a coincidence?

You think all the mobsters Trump associates with aren’t going to want something?
