I’ll give you a hint–it wasn’t free stuff. It wasn’t free education. It wasn’t free healthcare. It was the freedom to thrive–the freedom to be left alone.America is the land people set sail for–to get away from big government, to find freedom, to make their fortune.

What made America great was knowing I could pray to whichever God I wanted and wouldn’t be persecuted for it. If I didn’t like something I could speak my piece and wouldn’t be tossed in prison. If someone attacked my family or home I could defend it. If I wanted to be something, I could without someone telling me I couldn’t. If someone was different from me, we both received equal protection and one wasn’t favored over the other.

What do all these things have in common? Liberals are against all of them.

Even the other candidates are following Trump’s lead. Trump is the visionary, one with proven skills at executing his visions, that this country desperately needs.
