That's because I could give two bleeps about what a candidate SAYS. In politics, talk was cheap, is cheap, and always will be cheap.
I care about what they have done. Cruz has fought the battles. Walker has fought the battles. That's why I'm considering them. Jeb and Graham I respect because they've fought the battles too, just for the wrong side in the party.
Trump on the other hand is a publicity hound and a mouth who needs to be in the spotlight. He also donated to Hillary for her presidential run. His actions show what he is, not his words.
I want Trump in the debates. Aside from the entertainment value, he will force the others to take positions on issues they would rather not discuss. Immigration is the one issue that the GOPe would rather not have discussed.
He has achieved some action and fought the battle: He has told the truth about immigration and he has not backed down. Cruz, on the other hand, voted to give Obama more power on TPA. That is action, is it not?
