I like what he says and how he delivers
I don't really care who or how many flame me
I DO care about a debt that is inches away from burying us without the feasable ability to recover
I DO care about our ability to fight a war and win
I DO care about whether factories and work could ever return to America

I don’t think Liberalism will help us on those 3 issues. In fact, liberalism is why we have those issues.
I do like what Donald Trump is saying at the moment. I doubt he’ll stay in. He never does. If anything were to make him want to stay in it would be out of revenge for those wanting him to leave.
My top 2 candidates are Cruz or Ben Carson. And perhaps Bobby Jindal or Scott Walker
For me ... I'm old enough to remember getting into a fight after school and all the girls are there, and someone went home VERY embarassed .... but whatever was the problem between the two guys .... ended
Justice or revenge or whatever you want to call it was swift and complete
And I'm just a little sick and tired of soft spoken men that have legislative vocabularies and kind words for the enemy of America
Sylvester Stallone wasted a lot of time making the ROCKY series
We're moments and pennies away from absolute destruction .... even a revolution couldn't bring America back
So I like what Trump says because it's street level talk anyone can understand and appreciate.
Thanks for posting. I watched it. A very good speech done without a teleprompter.
America can not afford to elect ANOTHER phoney because they never REALLY tried to know a person.
My wife is SO pissed off at me because I'm on the computer for HOURS ... searching and listening to men that are making speeches, trying to be the President.
My wife is Filipina and we know a bunch of Filipina's ... and they all like Trump ..... basically because (as THEY read between the lines) ....
We Americans don't really care about our country, because we don't have the passion of a Rodrigo Duterte

Duterte, has been heavily criticised by numerous organizations for condoning and even inciting murders to take place during his leadership. In the April 2009 UN General Assembly of the Human Rights Council, the UN report (Eleventh Session Agenda item 3, par 21) said, "The Mayor of Davao City has done nothing to prevent these killings, and his public comments suggest that he is, in fact, supportive."[4] Human Rights Watch reported that in 2001-2002, Duterte appeared on local television and radio and announced the names of "criminals", some of whom were later executed.[3] In July 2005 at a crime summit in the Manila Hotel the politician said, "Summary execution of criminals remains the most effective way to crush kidnapping and illegal drugs".[5]
In 2009 Duterte said: "If you are doing an illegal activity in my city, if you are a criminal or part of a syndicate that preys on the innocent people of the city, for as long as I am the mayor, you are a legitimate target of assassination."[6]
Duterte responding to the reported arrest and subsequent release of a notorious drug lord in Manila is quoted as saying: "Here in Davao, you cant go out alive. You can go out, but inside a coffin. Is that what you call extra-judicial killing? Then I will just bring a drug lord to a judge and kill him there, that will no longer be extra-judicial." [7]
Referring to the arrest of a suspected rice smuggler, Duterte spoke out in the state senate saying, "If this guy would go to Davao and starts to unload (smuggled rice) I will gladly kill him." For these comments Duterte was attacked in an editorial in The Manila Times, which condemned "the mentality of lawlessness and vigilantism."[8] The newspaper argued that this culture of impunity enabled those in power, including officials, "private warlords and businessmen vigilantes" to take retribution against those they felt had acted against their interests: "They kill journalists exposing corruption and human rights activists exposing abusive police and military men."[9] Following Duterte's comments in relation to killing a person suspected of smuggling rice, the office of the President of the Philippines issued a statement saying, Killing a person is against the law. The President has been firm in the belief that no one is above the law. We must not resort to extralegal methods."[9]
In 2015, Duterte confirmed his links to extrajudicial killings in Davao, and warned that if elected president he may kill up to 100,000 criminals.[10]

A mayor that is SO law and order, the Filipino's are actively working to elect a man (same as us, 2016) President ... and he is not, and doesn't WANT to run
What I'm trying to show is .... freedom loving people WANT a man that will DO something
I’m OK with the things he says to a certain extent but the way he says them makes him sound like an idiot.
“Im OK with the things he says to a certain extent but the way he says them makes him sound like an idiot.”
I don’t see it that way at all. He speaks on a street level, in a way that most people can easily understand. People are deathly tired of being talked down to by their “betters.”
Every time I see you the first thing I think is ‘a-hole’.
