Look, I support Cruz...but if Trump is the nominee I will vote for him in a heartbeat.
He will actually accomplish many things which are absolutely critical to our nation... stopping illegal immigration and addressing the problem, reforming the tax system, overturning Obama care, strengthening our military, reversing the drain on the US economy from off shore, and standing up string internationally.
Sander and Hillary will do NONE of that.
One thing that does trouble me a lot about Trump lately are his comments about 9211 and Iraq.
While it is true that most of those who acted against us on 911 were Saudis, including Bin Laden who was in exile, this does not mean the government of Saudi Arabia was involved.
So, you can say Saudis knocked it down...but, as I say, that does not mean they were guided, directed, or controlled by the Saudi Royal Family/Government.
It also does not mean Bush was principle at fault. That, IMHO, goes to eight years of Clinton as the terrorists fought us and prepared to attack the US, and Clinton pretty much sat on his hands.
This is something we pretty much already know.
As to the Iraq war, Bush made a mistake (IMHO) saying that the reason we went into Iraq was for WMDs.
I believe we went into Iraq to defeat Saddam who had violated about every term of the desert Storm cease fire over ten years. But also to establish a strong presence for our military next to Iran, and to set up a fly trap for terrorists to come fight us.
They did...and died by the tens of thousands.
Bush should have been forthright about these goals...I believe after 911 he could have gotten the country to buy into them.
But he succeeded in:
1. Defeating Saddam and his military.
2. Defeating the terrorist insurgency.
3. Establishing a secular Iraq on the road to stability.
4. Establishing a strong base of operation right next door to Iran, the largest state sponsor of terror on earth.
All of that worked and was in place when Bush left office and all of it was worthwhile having.
In fact, it worked so well that in 2009 the Iranian people rebelled and would have themselves over thrown the Mullahs. I believe that the spreading of that type of freedom was a principle goal of the Bush administration...and I believe it was working.
The Iranian people wanted what the Iraqi people were achieving.
But one thing had changed.
Obama was in power. He did not lift a finger to help the people of Iran (he did not want Bush to be remembered as being successful, and he himself is sympathetic to Mullahs.
Then, he squandered all the gains in Iraq and pulled out sustainment force out of country before it was ready to stand on its own which gave us ISIS.
All of that is on Obama’s plate...not Bush’s. and all of this is what actually happened...despite Obama’s rhetoric and propaganda...and unfortunately, despite Trump’s comments to the contrary.
Great post!
What proof does anyone have that he will be able to accomplish all that? Will he do it the same way as Obama? Will he have congress behind him when most are obama-ists?
If he wins...there will be ONE Senator we know who will let everyone know that DT is being UNconstitutional OR will write the policies that DT needs to make it law.
