"Which one of his campaign issues do you not like?"

As to his main campaign issues, I don't think it's viable to actually build a wall and Mexico is definitely not going to pay for it. Yes, in some places along the border a wall is needed. In other areas, to stem the flow of illegal immigrants there are other tools needed such as an electronic fence, etc..

I'm a free trader and on balance I believe that NAFTA was overall good for the economy. The stats do back it up. The problem with free trade is it's hard to quantify the millions of people it has directly and indirectly benefitted, but it's easy to see the people who have lost their jobs due to globalization. We need to find a better way to help people that are hurt by the globalization of the economy.

I don't think that banning muslims is the solution. Yes, we can certainly bann incoming immigrants from war torn countries, that is a more viable way to do it.

Lastly, he is boorish and a narcissist of the highest order. One other thing and it's a point I've said all along, I don't believe he has core beliefs and he'll be willing to compromise on issues that are most precious to us.

People try to compare him to Reagan, but there is no comparison. Reagan was in the political fight since the 50's. He was a governor of one of our largest states. He wasn't just an actor that decided to run for President. A few years back a book came out that concentrated on the weekly broadcasts he did on the radio in the late 70's. It shows what a deep and profound thinker he was on all of the important conservative issues of his time. I don't see that from Trump, at all.

To sum up, I will be voting for him because the greater evil is Hillary and my hope (especially with Pence being the VP) is that he will surround himself with good conservatives (like Newt) and we can get on with a great conservative agenda for this country.

Wall and tariffs are the position of the patriot. The opposite is the position of the free trade globalists.

You can be a globalist or a patriot, but not both.

PS: Reagan was a protectionist.

“The stats do back it up.”

Nope, they surely do not, and I use to live in Houston and would hear businessmen talk about having been put out of business by NAFTA.

“I’m a free trader”

If you were one of the 94 million Americans who do not have a job, or were an employee of Carier Air Conditioner, or a Ford employee, or a Hershey employee, to just get started, you probably would not be.

And, don’t give me the line about government regulations.
