I posted this response in 2 other posts, and was requested that I post it by itself. So far I have gotten positive responses, but all comments are welcome.
I understand the core problem with people who do not support Trump. They look at him as a guy who says one thing and does another. This is not the case. I will explain. Trump, is a businessman. It is his job to get what he wants to get done, while satisfying as many opponents in the process. He does this as a daily skill he has developed over the years. He is NOT a politician, but the difference between a good businessman and a good politician is not that different, if you think about it.
If you think that he will, or any person will get into office and magically reverse all that Obama has done, your living in a fantasy world, regardless of what they promise. In the first 100 days, there are some things they can do, they can reverse executive orders, change political appointments, and even perhaps elect judges to the Supreme court.
But, it will be that person with negotiating skills, and the inherent ability to deal with both sides of the isle that will get the most done. Its the ART of the deal maker that will win the day.
Ted Cruz is universally hated by most in Washington, and IMO would be good for a SCOTUS appointment. Marco Rubio is just too young and inexperienced for such a monumental task, but his day may come. Hillary Clinton, is Bill Clinton II, or worse Obama II, she advocates all that he has done, and wants to continue with more of the same. She is a con artist since the days of white water, is a liar, hypocrite, and deceiver over Bengazi, is a Traitor over classified material in her own home on Servers, and should be in Jail, lot less running for Office. Bernie Sanders is a socialist, with no plans to really fix our country, rather spend its money earned by others, and continue the Obama legacy which he has much respect for...my God.
Trump is a problem solver, his goal is to get things done. He does not make idle promises and has a good idea what he can accomplish and what he can’t. If he says he can build something, he usually already has people in mind to get the job done.
He is smart enough to know that he does not know everything, but is also smart enough to hire the people who know what he does not to make the best decision.
He finances himself, not because he has to, but because he knows that he cannot be influenced by a financier if he is to do what needs to be done.
I don’t think he cares if he gets re-elected, if he does not meet his goals the first time around. I also think that if he tries to get things done and meets immovable people, he will not have any problem taking the issue to the people to bring pressure from the peoples side. He can’t fire them, but he can make there lives very uncomfortable if they stand in the way.
He will not be politically correct with the peoples business, things will be done on time, at cost, and there will be no pork. He will exercise the Veto Pen, and will push for line item vetoing and simplified propositions, bills will be straightforward with NO additional pork. How refreshing. Any negotiations will be before the bill is written.
In short, America is a business, if you spend money for programs, they are business, not politics.
If your dealing with defense, your in it to win it. You don’t send soldiers into a battle with their hands tied. It will be brutal and vicious, and our enemies will learn to avoid it at all costs. Brutality will be met with Overwhelming Brutality. We will win..FINALLY
Our military will become the strongest the newest and the most powerful in the world, AND we will use Americans to design and build it.
Our economy will begin to manufacture in America, we will stop importing people for jobs that can be filled with Americans with same or better skills (H1-B visa)
Finally we will secure our borders with Walls and technology, we will employ our ex-military who will use skills learned in service to protect our borders. All of this cannot be accomplished by a politician, it must be accomplished by a business savvy person, who understands construction, and contracts, and personnel. Only one candidate fits the bill.
Fox News:
“Cruz says Trump backers have ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’”
I hope that ticks you off as much as it does me.
Rubio has a terrible work record. Cruz is not a “natural born Citizen” IMHO. Thus, it devolves to Trump, who I believe is the only one capable of defeating the clinton creature anyway.
This results in (vanity) being appended to the title automatically, and insures it doesn't show up in the wrong feeds. Some people like reading vanities, not everyone.
Nice article.
I consider the source...lol...
Like I said, he is universally hated, perfect fit for SCOTUS, I actually like his knowledge, but not his inflexibility. A perfect fit for SCOTUS, but not for President.
Good analysis. I caucused for Cruz but will obviously vote for anyone in the general besides Obama II (and that is a very astute moniker for the felon from Chicago/Arkansas/Chappaqua or wherever she’s from this week), and will not stay home. That being said, it still feels like a bit of a roll of the dice to nominate Trump (nervous about the polls showing him losing to Her Highness, although I know polls are often premature and full of baloney anyway), however as the weeks go by and he starts to surround himself with good people and picks a solid running mate, I’ll start to feel better about it.
Yes it does. It tells me that Cruz is an arrogant POS. I wasted money supporting him months ago. Today, I wouldn’t hire the guy to pull weeds in my garden.
Well, the accusation might well be true, if this screed is any indicator.
My apologies, I don’t post often, I selected 4 topics, but I guess I selected the wrong ones, I will be more careful on the next piece...I hope I remember.
Wait, whut?
Trump always was too leaky a vessel to put much hope into.
Because this ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’” former supporter of you just hates Democrats, and that goes doubly for traitorous Democrats. But now it will be with my clothespin firmly in place.
Besides that, this ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’” former supporter thinks you are another usurper who is ineligible for the office of President of the United States.
I heard Ben Carson praise The Don today. He said Donald was not the man people see on the stage but an intelligent, thoughtful man.
So what? Is Trump talking down to his low information voters? Is he shouting vulgarities to the crowd because he thinks this is what they want to hear?
I never see an intelligent, thoughtful man when I listen to Trump. Cruz was right. Whoopi Goldberg would be elected president if she ran. Just from her followers from the view.
“Our military will become the strongest the newest and the most powerful in the world....”
It already is. By far.
America should NOT be “run like a a business.” America should be a place where the possibility of starting a business in a market unfettered by government interference, the desire to pick winners and losers is checked and financial freedom is the norm. America is supposed to be a Republic, not a Democracy. As the old saying goes...”start with a Republic, become a Democracy, move to Democratic Socialism, Socialism then finally communism.”
I prefer a Republic, the one we started with, without ANY business attitudes in any manner. They have no place in Government. Provide a standing army for defense, protect the ability of the people to arm themselves, provide a judicial system that adheres strictly to all of the Constitution and watch the government like a hawk. Remember that the Constitution is not subject to change because of a new technology or a “new sensibility” in our people. It is immutable.
Roll back the insane “business oriented” solutions in banking and allow a free market and a free economy to grow. We now have neither. Bring our trade policies back to reality and stop manipulating our competitiveness by means of taxation. Let America return to being America.
IMHO, Trump is a phony, a bully, crass, self-absorbed and rudderless except for the principle of WIN, WIN, WIN at any cost. He answers to no higher authority (God) and only knows how to make deals, the very thing that his supporters supposedly hate of the establishment.
“Cruz says Trump backers have ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’”
I hope that ticks you off as much as it does me.
NBC ran an exit poll of voters in Tuesday’s primary that showed that Trump has the highest percentage of supporters in all education levels compared to the competitors. That was posted somewhere here.
Two questions remain to be answered more clearly before some will be very keen to vote for Trump (although with the likely opponent, people will do it regardless of any hesitation).
First question, is he really that skeptical of climate change to avoid any further erosion of the economic integrity of America in favor of the crazy green agenda?
Second question, what about religious liberty, in particular, the challenge to Christian beliefs posed by the radical gay lobby?
With Ted Cruz, you know the answers to these two questions and so at the very least I hope he gets either the V.P. or Supreme Court position if Trump is the candidate.
I am also not convinced that a wall is going to work on a practical basis with half the border being a river. Perhaps walls in some sectors and enhanced patrols and security in other sectors. Probably a wall from the Pacific to about central Arizona then security patrols, another wall near Ciudad Juarez and much improved security in Texas.
The bigger problem in this policy is finding the millions of illegals and deporting them. This will partly reduce the flow of new illegals, who’s going to want to risk paying smugglers if they figure on being deported within three months anyway?
I suspect Trump is going to win the nomination so much of this discussion about Trump vs Cruz is now almost academic. The bigger question is how to get Trump past the inevitable problems of massive voter fraud and media manipulation and into office.
Good piece. I share your reason for backing Donald Trump. We certainly need a good business man to help solve our problems. Its for sure politicians haven’t a clue. This morning Dr. Carson gave me even more confidence in my selection. Its good to know Donald will put our countries interest first.
Can you show me your badge, Officer?
