Donald Trump, being a narcissist who does not understand the principles of limited Constitutional Government, has shown every sign that he will be as authoritarian if not more than Obama.
When has he shown any deference to the Constitutional principles of individual liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, sanctity of life, limited government, states rights... The list could go on. He speaks in platitudes about how "I" am going to make America Great and uses the term "I" more than Obama.
The real benefit of a Trump candidacy is that it will translate into larger Republican representation in Statehouses and local governments.
You are assuming he will win and that he has coattails. Exactly who will be swept into office on Donald Trump's coattails? He has insulted just about every Republican in the United States and his negatives are in the 70% range.
Sure most of the disaffected conservatives are looking for a Leader, but what they are looking at is just another power hungry Authoritarian hypocrite who will undoubtedly disappoint most, if not all of his blind followers in the long run.
Again, who exactly is this salesman and what exactly is it that he is selling?
It will be our job to educate him and hold his feet to the fire.
I don't argue that Cruz is more educated on The Constitution but, again, if he can't even garner any media attention against Trump, how is he going to get his message out against Hitlery?
It doesn't matter how much he knows about The Constitution if he isn't in The Oval Office.
He may very well stand against Hitlery from his Senate seat, but there won't be enough Cruzes to stop her from exercising an Authoritarian Presidency. With Trump, there will. Not only will Congress stand against him, so will we.
I will fight like hell for either Cruz or Trump if for no other reason than to keep a treasonous America-hater like Hitlery from becoming President.
Right now it looks like it's going to be Trump.
