Some might just find it difficult to believe Trump changed his mind on so many things so fast. Especially when political expediency is a possibility. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying what Trump has brought to the political scene. That said, why should I trust Trump to do what he says he is going to do? I wish I had an answer to this question.

The answer is simple - you can't. He's been caught lying too many times.

I've had Trump supporters write these lies off as exaggerations or hyperbole. But the real problem is that the man repeats things he knows aren't true, simply because we want to hear them. That's not leadership. That's not conservatism.

I understand where his support comes from. With every betrayal from the GOP leadership, it's tempting to yield to fantasies about burning it all down. But I'm not willing to burn down my country just to spite the GOPe - I love America more than I despise them.

Great question. I don’t know either. I don’t trust any of them but I do support those who adhere to what I think is most important at the time in our history.

I didn’t agree with Bush II on everything but I’m glad he was President rather than Gore or Kerry. Our Country would have been worse off with either of those two. Obama kept his promises...he fundamentally transformed America. He’s not stupid or clueless. He’s doing exactly what he said he’d do with the help of our Congress, Judicial Branch, and of course the Media.

Why should I trust any of them? I don’t. Not Trump or Cruz and certainly not any of the others. I trust Trump and Cruz more than the others and in that order. I guess we go with what we know.
