“Serious question, has Trump proposed eliminating any govt program or spending? Has he proposed cutting any govt program or spending?”
Not that I’ve heard.
Frankly, there is one reason - scratch that, two reasons - I favor trump over cruz:
1. He is on record all across the country as committed to building a wall across the southern border and taking control of who comes into our country. Since he’s spent a lifetime building things around the world, I believe he can accomplish it. Only person in the race to do so. Both of these items are crucial.
2. He has spent a lifetime working with others to accomplish his goals - particulary politicos and foreign governments - and reached his goals. He has demonstrated through accomplishment that he can do that. Only person in the race to do so.
BONUS ITEM: he has thick skin, which he will need. Only person in the race to take heat like he has.
Now, I understand others may prioritize things differently. I wish he had cruz at his side to keep him on track with the Founders.
In the end, I believe we are probably too far gone as a country to recover by just electing a president. The States are the last resource. That may take more than a decade to get them lined up to make changes at a convention.
In the meantime, I prefer an outsider who gets things done and who people follow. I consider him a moderate nationalist. I think this is probably what the country wants and maybe the only one who can move us forward. I write that knowing a President Trump would deeply disappoint me on many fronts and drive me crazy in a thousand ways... but then they all do.
This is a time for triage and not a scalpel.
Wishing you the best.
Obviously Cruz is who I support, but if Trump is the nominee, I will work hard to get him elected. We can’t have Hillary appointing SC justices.
