Ive thought for some time that America might need a president like Theodore Roosevelt or Harry Truman. They were strong larger than life leaders who played a major role in making the United States a strong world power. Donald Trump is the only current candidate who comes close to the personality of those two.

This comparison is totally ridiculous.
If you want to promote your boy, do so based on his own accomplishments (all of which suit himself) and leave the legacies of the real heroes alone.
5th Ave. drone.
So you’re basing your vote only on personality?
And the Bull Moose lost - giving us Wilson.
TR was a progressive and Hillary Clinton has said that she is a big fan of TR and fancies herself to be along those lines. There is agreement between progressives on the left or right that they desire to use the government to manage people’s lives and shove people around like chess pieces because “THEY” (the elites in government and government itself) know what is best. They only disagree on what it is they want the government to do to people. TR is not for me even if one of my great uncles did ride with the Rough Riders and is in a photo with him.
I served in the Marine Corps but I don’t subscribe to the notion that anybody who did not serve in our military is a lesser person than me or to others who did.
To say Trump emulates them in any way without taking into account their history and their time and simply say he's like them for one reason to me is complete stupidity.
And thank you for your service.

The problem is that Roosevelt, Truman and now Trump, were/are clueless to the federal governments constitutionally limited powers, most of those powers listed in the Constitutions Section 8 of Article I.
Patriots need to understand that one of the few powers that that states have actually delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to regulate, tax and spend in the name of a domestic issue is to manage the US Mail Service (1.8.7).
In other words, most of the so-called social spending services that the feds have established are based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers and associated state revenues which the corrupt feds have stolen from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its Section 8-limited powers.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Remember in November !
So if patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president, but also surrender to the states state powers and state revenues which the feds have stolen from the states.
In fact, note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
TR was the furthest thing from conservative. But, I guess we don't want conservatives. We want “strong leaders”.
“TR was the furthest thing from conservative. But, I guess we don’t want conservatives. We want strong leaders.”
That’s not guessing Forgotten Amendments. We now have a democracy that wants to elect a strong man or one of two communists that will guarantee the most free stuff.
Here’s hoping that if Trump somehow wins he will at least be a benevolent tyrant.
The apparent alternative being the certain end of what used to be the U.S.
We’re in deep doo doo.
