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 you think Trump would appoint Constitutional conservatives to the federal courts, you are beyond naive. Trump likes to make deals and said he would make deals with the Democrats. Trump would never nominate a Constitutional conservative to the US supreme Court. Trump's entire life is one broken promise after another. What's it to him to break one, or a dozen, more?
Trump is no Churchill. Churchill was the greatest man of the 20th Century. Trump is a sleaze ball.
No more than Reagan who was close friends with Sinatra.
I wish that were true ... unfortunately, Cruz is not it.
Trump is no Churchill. Churchill was the greatest man of the 20th Century. Trump is a sleaze ball.
Looks like we’ll see...
My vote goes to Cruz.
He's not a strongman. He's a friggin big mouth bully that needs to get punched in the mouth.
No problem, I just really, really despise Chris Christie and am gobsmacked that Trump is yukking it up with this corrupt Jersey Shore pseudo-conservative.
I personally am not a Trump supporter, but friends of mine are. They think this country needs a businessman to run it; others find him refreshingly un-PC.
Many liberals have compared him to Hitler or KKK, but to me he is neither. Maybe more like Mussolini — blustery buffoon & ham actor — but he is neither insane nor racist. Just a bit (OK, a lot) full of himself.
Nevertheless, I don’t feel he has the gravitas necessary to be president. I too am alarmed at the amount of support, and I wonder if people are being serious or spiteful. As if they’re in on one big joke of which I’m ignorant.
Help me understand how you could be here 15 years and not know why the regular Trump supporters chose him?
I have posted my various reasons at least a dozen times.
If you actually visit FR regularly and still don't know why Trump has the support he does, you haven't been reading very carefully.
The only time I post negative comments, it's rare and mainly to deal with trolls.
FR Classes of 2005-2007, just prior to Barack Hussein's appearance are particularly persistent and obnoxious.
You actually expect a detailed plan befor a candidate has actually been picked?
How old are you, anyway?
For a NOOB you seem to be seriously out of touch of reality.
You want a detailed plan of a GOP candidate before he's even be selected?
You expect Trump to provide detailed plans before he has picked a cabinet, expert advisors in a plethora of disciplines, (foreign diplomacy, labor, education global ISIL and other terrorism, bureaucratic policies, National health etc. etc... ?
Seriously?
This is our last chance to get our country back.
Ask a third grader the difference between an opinion and adult arguments...
Go away!
Please.
I DON’T support him. I’d certainly prefer Trump over Hitlery or Bummie Sanders, but I think he is too mercurial. I prefer Cruz.
Don’t you think Donald will have the good sense to surround himself per cabinet, advisers, with the most brilliant, capable, America loving patriots to be found in the U.S?
He knows them all, and of course he will.
The revolution many of you have said we need is here- and it’s being led by Donald. This is our last chance to get our country back.
Don’t mess it up
If FR is any example, its spiteful.
You really think that is what you are going to get?
It is coming down to Hillary vs Trump. If the GOPe goes ahead with plans to split the vote to keep Trump out, Hillary wins.
But the GOPe gets to keep their control.
