I’m not a Trump-ette but I hate the disingenuous lying media.

I’m leaning toward Cruz because he’ll be more predictable, but I sure like the way Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the loathsome media and PC.

My issue with Trump is that I really don’t know what he will and will not do. It’s a little hard taking a lot of what he says seriously since he has changed significantly from the past, so who knows if he’s going to change again.

My best take on him is that he sees every situation as a deal to be worked on. So all these positions he’s taking on issues are simply his “opening bids” on the deal. How the deal will eventually be consummated is anybody’s guess.

On the positive side is that on most issues he’s on our side. Also his opening bid is quite high (some would call it ridiculous, even insulting, such as Mexico paying for the wall), but in doing so he has already made the idea of a wall palatable, thus has already moved the negotiation a substantial way in his favor, even BEFORE the negotiation start! That’s quite an achievement.

He’s done the same with muslim refugees, waterboading, trade, etc.

I would have no trouble supporting him, even though his promises may get significantly watered down. You have to expect that from him or you’ll be greatly disappointed.

But then again, how many politicians keep their word?

A Trump/Cruz ticket would be great.
