Not sure who wrote this, but he expresses my concerns perfectly.

Yes, I’ll vote for Trump if he wins the nomination next year, but I will be very worried.

Have you not noticed by now that Trump’s natural instinct is not to respectfully disagree, but to offer angry, personal disdain for others?

Trump sounds like a Freeper

Every time we get a thread about this, by conservatives who just can’t “like” Trump, it always is the same reason.

They are measuring him against their dream list of a conservative Republican nominee and find him wanting. DUH.

They do not understand the situation. If they love filling out that voter form and feeling like it matters each time, if they love the yard signs and the rah rah rah blue vs red jerseys, then they are just looking for “the lesser of the evils wearing my team’s jersey.” This is NOT where we are in 2016. Some of us were onto this in 2011 and wouldn’t vote for Romney. (I wasn’t that smart)

But most of us are onto it finally, this election, and Trump’s candidacy has proven we are right: the country is run without benefit of the constitution by a wealthy worldly oligarchy owning both sides of the aisle. They allow us to fight at election time over the jersey color. We, the People, are out and we have been out. With Trump’s candidacy, we see legitimate panic among every entity connected to the oligarchy.

And Trump is wealthy enough to at least start the fight without bloodshed. He has the power we little serfs do not.

Therefore it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand the difference between Hamas and Hisbollah. None of his “qualifications” matter except that HE HAS THE MONEY TO NOT NEED THE MEDIA, HE HAS THE COJONES TO FIGHT THE MEDIA, AND HE WANTS TO DO THIS FOR US. No one else that wealthy has stepped to the plate.

I want my country back and this is the ONLY shot I see. Cruz cannot win without a huge boost and the VP would be his boost. I’m hoping he is chosen by Trump.

All of these “Trump isn’t good enough” essays and posts are really saying I DONT GET IT. I THINK WE STILL HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. They’re playing tiddlywinks. I want to see what Trump can do, because I’d prefer getting the country back bloodlessly. I don’t want my kids to have to die for it.

He’s a liberal at heart, even with this conservative mask affixed, he’s still happy either statism and corporatism. I won’t vote for trump.

I think it's more a matter of not trusting rather than not liking.

People with egos as large as Donald's aren't always good at following through with what they start.

After all this talk about narcissistic politicians (Clinton, Obama, etc.) it's hard to say that it simply doesn't matter -- that it's okay if you like the guy.

It's also clear that a long-time Manhattanite isn't going to have his heart in what most regard as the conservative agenda.

I can live with that, I guess, but it sounds like a lot of people don't realize that and build unrealistic expectations around Trump.

Finally, before Donald became a politician, it was pretty common to laugh at his excessive behavior. It wasn't political and it can be hard to turn off.

I may end up voting for Trump, but those are the reasons why I don't feel that comfortable with him as a candidate or president and why I'm not his #1 fan yet.

Thank you for proving my point. You are not really interested in a discussion. You just want to posture.

Ever notice that some of the most vocal, fist-pounding, in-your-face Trump supporters were also some of the most vitriolic, fact-ignoring birthers?

Not all of ‘em. Just some of ‘em.

Trump has me silently cheering and nervously worrying at the same time. I haz confusionz.

I don’t really like Donald Trump either but I think he is the only one who can actually accomplish something useful as President. WIll he? I don’t know. Santorum is the only one who doesn’t temporize on immigration and Amnesty but he isn’t going anywhere and I don’t see him as abrasive and brash enough to fight a Democrat Congress.

Donald Trump has made grave personal, social and professional sacrifices in order to give Americans an incredible opportunity to pursue a genuinely pro-American, populist agenda.

If you’re an America-first conservative and you reject Trump, please don’t expect ANY other politicians to EVER genuinely stand up for your interests again.

You will have demonstrated that taking this extremely difficult and dangerous path(the pro-American path) is no longer possible in America.

“Oh my! I can’t vote for Trump... he once said something I disagree with!”

Trump is not a candidate as much as he is chemotherapy for the cancer that is the Amerikan Ruling Class. And I say this as a Cruz supporter.

More gopE BS written by someone that either couldn’t abide by the rules here at FR, or went running away on their own to hide at a little backwater ditch of a forum. What do they have 10 members making posts? lol
