With the understanding that I will get hammered by the Trump supporters on this page, I have some questions for you about your candidate:
First, WHY do you support Trump? Is it only because he talks tough? Do you have HISTORY to prove he means what he says on this issue?
Second: Other than screaming about illegal immigration (he is right about it), talking about bombing oil fields and that Persians are smooth negotiators, WHAT other issues does he understand? On what other issues is he Conservative?
Third: Who do all of you expect Trump to choose for the SCOTUS?
Fourth: Can you prove Trump is different from his past as a Democrat...can you prove he is Conservative? how? (please don't feed us the BS that Reagan was once a Democrat...Trump isn't Reagan)
Fifth: How do you reconcile his flip-flopping on issues like Immigration, guns, abortion and OBAMACARE and Hillary?
Sixth: Can anyone explain WHY Trump supported Obama in 2012?
Seventh: Why, suddenly, in 2012, did his donations INCREASE to Republicans when he first decided to run as a GOP candidate for POTUS? Why was he a Democrat donor before then? (don't give me the 'Oh, well, he had to do business in NY crap, either...he gave to candidates outside of NY).
Finally, how can you all be certain that Trump isn't a trojan horse? How can recent talking points outweigh his recent history of comments, etc?
If Trump really is who you think he is...prove to us WHY you think this.
“Why did he criticize Pamella Gellar for taunting the goat humpers?”
She was taunting goat humpers? So? Did he lie about that? What practical good did it serve for her to do that?
He also said he thought it put her at greater risk and it did.
Trump said early on that a politician is not going to get the job done.
We sent a ton of new Republicans to Congress to do one and one thing only: defang the 0bama agenda. Surely you know how that story plays out.
Maybe you can ‘prove’ to us why a politician will all of a sudden go against the very people their beholden to, and do the right thing for America.
Only Donald Trump is in that camp. To a lesser degree so is Carly Fiorina and Sarah Palin for that matter. They all owe the Party zilch. And they all are on record wanting to make America the land of the free; the home of the brave.
There are more reasons. But this is the main one. Trump is his own man.
TN had a list of thoughtful, fair questions.
Which one of the seven were you answering?
I think the bottom line is, we hate GOPe more than we hate half a DEM. I tired of those so called perfect GOP candidates who say the right things but betray us every time
I like him because he is the only one that has the power to dismantle the media like a wrecking ball. And at the same time he is breaking through to the mainstream low info voters that don’t pay much attention. Also, in the process he lifts up the skirts of the rino-Democrat candidates.
One more thing, if he was a Trojan, he would have bailed under the massive pressure and business hits he is receiving from all sides.
He appears to love our country, he is brash, selfish and not perfect. He appears to be pledging his livelihood and his honor for this. He is also a gun owner.
No worries.
I actually haven’t read that book...I will pick it up. Thank you
George Washington was probably as financially independent as anyone who ever ran for any office.
I am enjoying his rants but he supports the healthcare bill, so he is toast to me.
LOL.
I figured one of you Trumpers, with all of the answer (of which there have been so few...which is telling). would use the term Noob...
Classic answer for the ignorant. No wonder you support Trump.
You mean like Bush when he chose Roberts? Or, when other Republican Presidents chose people, like say, Kennedy? LOL.
As I said; I don’t give a damn what Trump has been or said or done in the past or ‘what his game is’.
His changes of ever becoming president are miniscule, but at least he’s out there NOW telling stupid, PC crippled Americans the truth; what Obama has done to America and that illegal aliens flooding across our open border are murdering and raping and bankrupting us.
NO Rino and Republican has the balls to get out there and tell the truth like Trump- and I’m enjoying the hell out of watching Liberal heads explode.
My first choice is, and has been, Ted Cruz. That said, I do not fear a Trump presidency. You pose great questions, and for most of them we’ll just have to wait and see.
Mostly, I just don’t want to see a Hillary Clinton administration, our country would not survive it. The feeling I get is that Trump would have a better shot at winning against Hillary than Cruz.
The reason why I support him is in this article. I love Cruz, and support him too, but I honestly think the gope would have scammed the primaries and gotten their guy in no matter what. And there guy is not necessarily Jeb.
What he’s expressed about illegal immigration trumps (no pun intended) the rest of it. Just that simple. We’ve been starving for someone to talk like this for years. I’m not an advocate for Trump winning the nomination, but that’s my theory anyway.
It is imperative that we get someone elected who is not a status quo politician, in the hopes that some things will be different.
Will ‘Conservatives’ get everything they want with Trump? Probably not, but we may be able to stop the total destruction of our country with Trump. With Clinton or Jeb, it is only going to get worse.
Wow, so he is an outsider. Well, by your logic, so is Carson.
That is weak...like most other answers from Trump supporters on this page.
What is telling is how FEW answers you all have.
And yes, I forgot...how can he be tough on terror when criticizing Pam Gellar?
Spin Trumpers...spin away
The real question is why anyone but the puppetmasters would want to save the pols and others Trump is bringing down.
I am a 100% supporter of Ted Cruz. What you are witnessing is the reaction of people showing support for someone fighting aggressively against the cultural Marxism of illegal immigration. It’s that simple. I am thankful for Donald Trump for bringing this issue so much more attention.
Very true.
Like a Snake oil salesman.
Maybe. I don't discount that possibility at all. But for the sake of argument, suppose a wall really needs to be built somewhere.
Candidate A: I will build that wall!
Candidate B: I might build that wall, maybe.
Candidate C: No wall needs to be built.
Candidate D: I'll have to think about it some more.
Now, Candidate A might be lying. But look at the alternatives. On most issues (not just a wall) this is roughly the Trump situation today.
