I like trump but the hero worship is mind-boggling...Although after seven years of Obama it’s understandable.

I don’t see any hero worship of Trump. Perhaps a little enthusiasm that we finally have an opportunity to put somebody competent in the White House.

I started out supporting Cruz but when Trump started making noise I decided to find out about him.

I read three of his books, read every news article I could find, followed other Freeper’s comments, and decided he was the one that most closely aligned with my thinking of what this country needs.

I still like Cruz a lot and hope he is Trump’s VP but we need more than a politician, however conservative he might be, at this time in our history.

People talk about Trump flip flopping on the issues but if you read his books you can see clearly that he has the same theme running throughout his life.

1. He believes in family.
2. He believes in people and their abilities. .
3. He believes in law and order. He believes laws should be followed and punished if they are not. .
4. He believes in a strong military but does not want to take military action if it is not necessary. .
5. He believes in education. He thinks schools are cheating our kids. .
6. He believes in borders and granting citizenship only to those who would be a plus to our country as a whole. .
7. He believes that people should pull their own weight and government programs should be temporary except for the disabled and elderly. .
8. He believes in keeping Social Security and Medicare. .
9. He believes in taking care of our Vets. .
10. He believes our country should be treated fairly in any agreement we have with other countries. .
11. He believes that people should have health insurance. He formerly believed that single payer was a good idea but after Obamacare passed he changed his mind and now believes that competition and tort reform are the answer to the problem. He does believe that the poor should be helped but thinks there are better ways to do it than Obamacare. .

He makes no mention in his books about social issues so I take him at his word that he has changed his opinion on abortion.

I believe he is loyal and will listen to those who elect him if he wins. I think he will repay our support of him with following through with defunding PP. We have had his back and I believe he will have ours.

He is not a politician and he is not an ideologue. He is a person who cares deeply about his country and his fellow citizens. In other words, he is pretty much like us.

It's not because of who he is...It's because of what he says...Apparently what Trump says doesn't resonate with you???

No....I already knew what Obama would be like from day one. I am much more pissed at the MAJORITY Senate and MAJORITY House republicans for NOT stopping Obama.

It is now abundantly clear, that all career politicians are controlled by their rich donors, which is why they keep pushing for the cheap labor express in form of more H1-B visa foreign workers, No deportation of illegals, and voting for ObamaTrade.

You could be right, but then this is what HOPE looks like after, as you said, two endless terms of Obama.
