Trump has stated that he'll follow Obama's lead in advancing his agenda by executive orders. I'm afraid pushing that envelope for another 4 or 8 years can have disastrous consequences down the road. I can understand the attraction of what Trump promises, but this could be an expensive pound of flesh.
HILLARY would be an ABSOLUTE DISASTER AS PRESIDENT WORTHY OF WRITING ABOUT IN LOTS AND LOTS OF CAPITAL LETTERS.
Trump would be better than Hillary.
Cruz would be better than Trump. Rubio would be Mittens II and McCain II, a Business Roundtable tool and cabana boy to the Bush family.
Dr. Carson would be something else entirely. With the right help, he could be the best of all, but his backers are a cynical bunch of self-funding self-perpetuators, so unless he got bailed out of his people jam by someone like Dick Cheney and Newt and some Tea Party funding folks (like Tea Party Express, who aren't classic Tea Party but are straight-up conservative, old Reaganauts and conservative California fundraisers, plank owners of the Grey Davis recall), he wouldn't have anyone in his corner -- which Abraham Lincoln once pointed out to a correspondent, during his wilderness period after the Whig Party dissolved, is the sine qua non of political effectiveness.
So I back Ted Cruz over Dr. Carson. Trump was an acceptable second choice, two or three months ago, until some things began to come out -- the imperiousness, the vagueness, Kelo, secularism, a couple of other things.
That answer your question?
Not for me !
Because he comes across like a wimp.
Because he comes across like a wimp.
Yes he does.
The Republican base has had going on 3 decades of wimps. No longer.
