As things stand right now, I wouldn't vote for him in the general election. That could change if he gets more specific on some issues of concern to me.

You see, this is the problem. It's not about you or me. It is too late for us. It's about our kids and grandkids, and their kids and grandkids. And I'm not even talking about $20 Trillion in debt. I'm talking about what happens when the (D)ummycrats get their 270 electoral vote headstart ( it is currently approximately 250 ).

Try to understand what that means. It makes all elections after that kabuki theater. It also means whatever pet issues "of concern to me" that your favorite candidate managed to alter to your satisfaction, will then be reversed at will.

Healthcare? Ethanol? All moot points. Let's say cruz got into office and changed them to your satisfaction. Then the (D)ummycrats achieve their 270 votes, then everything you wasted your time fretting over gets changed to their liking, forever.

There is no other issue except for thwarting Illegal Alien, Amnesty, Naturalization with some kind of moratorium. The ones here are already multiplying and bringing in families even if it stopped today. This is an all hands on deck issue now, no time for anything else. Once again, if we fail, they will achieve an electoral victory before any election ever occurs. If this is to be stopped, it is now or never.

Any diversions from the task at hand is tantamount to complaining about the selection of tunes the band is playing on the deck of the Titanic.

That's nice, except I didn't say it was about me. I said it was about issues of concern to me, and the issues that concern me relate to my kids. I'm afraid Trump will make things worse rather than better.

I see Trump as "good" on two issues - immigration, and taxes. The problem with his immigration position is that it seems both vague in the details, and overpromising. I do not believe Congress will enact what he is promising, and so we'll have to settle for something less. Which is okay, except that the "less" I expect we'll have to settle for won't be that much better than what other candidates are promising.

I like him on taxes, but the problem is that I really don't like the rest of the policies he's described. I think his opposition to entitlement reform is an absolute disaster for my kids. His promise that "everyone will be covered" on health care is going to be expensive as well, and I'm not keen on a Republican endorsing a fourth entitlement program. And I think a 45% tariff on Chinese goods is nuts, and would start a series of events that might well send us into a depression.

To me, Trump is the political equivalent of a one night stand. A smoking hot girl who is a lot of fun at first, but when you stop and think about her, marrying her would be nuts.
