I read your question this way, would I prefer my children’s future to look like East Berlin or a trash heap in Bangladesh? Clearly, East Germany would be preferable, under any circumstance. Of course the idea is to fight to prevent these miserable options, but that’s how I see your two scenarios.
It’s not “a very important issue”, it’s the only issue. As far as gun control goes, anyone tries to take them and the war starts right then and they know it.
I’m afraid you are missing the point that I’m trying to make. Trump has raised some good points concerning our need to secure our border and do something about the illegal immigration problem. I’m glad that’s in the discussion and it certainly needs to be discussed. However, by his past statements and writings he is so wrong on so many issues that are as equally important to the conservative movement. Views that we would never accept from any of our other candidates and yet the Trump supporters seem to want to overlook all of those other issues and focus on one. I used gun control as one issue, but there are plenty more.
Lets just take gun control, would you accept a candidate that wanted to ban so-called assault weapons? My guess is that most people on this forum would not accept that position from any other candidate, but there are a group on here that are willing to overlook that with Trump, and you are one of them. Why? Why do we overlook all of his wrong headedness on so many other issues? Let’s not even get into his personal life which we would hardly put up with from any of our other candidates.
