Yet gullible people believe he's going to use that power to help them, and have given up even questioning how much power government should have in the first place.
Gullible? Ted Cruz wanted to quintuple the number of H-1B visas. Trump's stance made Ted walk that back.
As a 55 year old IT worker, Trump's campaign has already paid dividends for me, even if he never even gets the nomination, as H-1B visas are probably the greatest threat to my livihood.
If you see that as gullible, well, go p*** up a rope.
yep!
i wish the folks wearing blinders would see Trump for who he is. he’s not a conservative. not be any reasonable definition. he’s right about some of the things he’s talking about, but he’s also talking abstractly about them. he just says “i’ll do this”, or “i’ll solve that”, or “trust me, it won’t happen with me in office”. those are not exactly comforting explanations to me, as a conservative, who doesn’t believe that government should be all powerful, nor should the president.
he’s right about illegal immigration. he’s right about H1B visa’s destroying the lives of middle class white Americans. he right that Obama has been a nightmare for black Americans. he’s right that China is waging an economic war against us. but these are just a couple of the many issues we as conservatives care about.
above all, Trump is a deal maker. that’s the last thing principled conservatives need in our nominee. in fact, we want somebody who won’t constantly sell us out while cutting deals with the democRATS.
i’m honestly worried about him. i don’t think he should be the nominee. i worry that there is a vast treasure trove of dirt on him that will come out in the general election from both the media and the democRATS. even if he were to survive all of that, i think his presidency would not be a good one for conservatives. he’s a born and raised NYC liberal squishy republican/democRAT. he’ll be good on a couple of issues (although it’s debatable if he’ll accomplish anything towards fixing those problems) and bad on a whole host of others.
it saddens me that so many have become enamored by him because of his celebrity... but at least he’s not afraid of his own shadow like the rest of the GOP field. it’s nice to have somebody willing to fight for a change. of course, once they call him a racist on ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN who knows how long he’ll stick to his guns. Boehner only lasted 17 seconds. McConnell even less.
i’m supporting Cruz. i like Caron, but he’s not yet ready for this stage. if i had to choose between Trump and the hildebeast or the commie from Vermont, i’d choose Trump. but i’d do so reluctantly and it would be the same way i felt when voting for McCain and Romney and Dole.
we need a real conservative in office. somebody who has been in the trenches with the rest of us for decades. we need a republican controlled congress too. only then can we start undoing the damage from 28 years of squishy Rockefeller republicans and leftist democRATS.
“Donald Trump strongly believes in the power of government to make rich men richer. He doesn’t believe in reducing the size and power of government. He believes in making it more powerful and under his command.”
If that is true of Trump, which is certainly true of any liberal, why has Trump NEVER ran for any public office that would give him the power, the glory, the renown, that you claim he thirsts for, that drives him? That you claim he is obsessed with?
Throughout history, people of that stripe start at a very young age to force their will upon society by entering the political arena. They become experts in all the cunning artifices that are required to accrue power to themselves. They never actually get out and spend their whole lives developing and running a business. They fixate on how to use words, and how to deliver those words, to deceive.
And, some of the things he says now, he is on video saying the same things he is saying now. (consult Oprah Winfrey you-tube video, 1988).
“He doesn’t believe in reducing the size and power of government. He believes in making it more powerful and under his command.”
And jusrt how do you know this? Inquiring minds want to know too!
