If you care about policy, Trump is the best candidate
The Univerity of Virginia Cavalier ^ | October 26, 2016 | Milan Bharadwaj

Donald Trump is the better of the two electable candidates. He is not a perfect individual by any means, nor is he an ideal candidate even by my own standards, but he is the best option we have this election season, which is why I’m casting my vote for him. It is easy to be dismissive of Trump by labelling him with any number of virtually meaningless buzzwords: “racist,” “sexist,” “Islamophobic,” “xenophobic” — take your pick. The mainstream media has done a great job of demonizing the Republican candidate (as they do every election), but frankly this doesn’t concern me in the slightest, and it shouldn’t concern you either. If you set aside your preconceived notions and put in the effort to look at Trump and his policies with an open mind, I’m sure you’ll find that he’s not as bad as people say.

I first started supporting Trump after seeing all kinds of hateful posts and articles about him while scrolling through my Facebook feed, about a year ago. I didn’t buy into the abhorrence and I decided to investigate a bit on my own by reading nonpartisan news sources, as well as “The Art of the Deal” so I could get a feel for who Trump is as a person. I’m not going to sit here and try to convince you Trump is a good person, because that is something you have to decide for yourself, and there’s nothing I can say to convince you otherwise. However, I can say with relative certainty that he is a better candidate than Hillary Clinton, who is quite possibly the most corrupt and unlikeable politician in U.S. history. While I do personally believe Trump is a moral man, despite the media’s constant slander, this matter is really irrelevant....

Policy, integrity, intelligence, honor & loyalty, all give Trump a huge edge among the rational American voters.

This guy better park his car in a garage and hire a body guard.

Lets just say that Trump was EVERYTHING bad they say he is...

HilLIARy, her criminal enterprise, and her rapist impeached disbarred husband are still 1000 times worse.

I would rather trust a successful businessman, for once.

HilLIARy, and people like her, own everything that has happened in washington for the last 30 years.

Rush today made a good point exploding the myth that Hillary is the policy candidate while Trump is the bluster candidate.

He said, Trump has a policy for H1B, on Trump’s website.

Hillary? Rush couldn’t find a policy statement anywhere by Hillary on H1B.

My standard rebuttal to liberals is; EVERY GOP candidate since Goldwater has been called racist. Why would I would believe a bunch of the little boys who keep crying wolf?

How many people can you listen to, that say the same thing over and over again, and you (almost) don't tire of it ?

We've heard the same words from Trump for a year and we STILL tune in to the latest rally of the day ... just to see.

Especially if we learn of some new wicki-revelation in FR and find he's talkin' 'bout that jit RIGHT NOW !

Our problem is not the clintons, it's the myriad of embeds via the obama administration that will ALSO never go away ...

Unless we DO drain the swamp

I can listen to Trump as much as I can find him on TV.
As I listen, I’ve sometimes realized I never tire of hearing him talk. Then I’ve estimated that 3 hours of straight Trump Talk is about what I can enjoy from one Trump event. Of course he never talks that long at once.
I can’t think of anyone else I’d listen to for 3 hours on TV, or off TV.

I am waiting for the 6pm central time Trump rally, and hope it’s somewhere on TV. Lots of channels to look on including the CSPANs.

RSBN live streams almost all Trump rallies and then archives for later viewing, so if you can’t find one on TV, try http://rsbn.tv/

Nikos1121 starts a live rally thread every day - it’s usually on the side bar under breaking news. You can also search trumprallytoday under keywords to find the threads.

Here’s the one for today (3 rallies in Ohio and an appearance on GMA): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3485445/posts?page=34

Wow, an amazing essay from one so young, but so intelligent, logical, well-informed — and a great writer.
