Look at the inexperienced assclowns he's running against, all of them thinking they're Presidential material and tell me isn't Presidential material. look at the inexperienced assclown in the oval office now and tell me isn't Presidential material. look at Hillary Clinton running for President and tell me isn't Presidential material. Looking at all of these chumps, I have to think that Donald Trump is actually more Presidential than any of them.
Personally, I think this is all a stunt that bolsters his ego.
I had thought as much initially. He has lost a lot of business for speaking the truth. He has lost a lot of friends for speaking the truth. He has a billionaire drug lord wanting to kill him now for speaking the truth. He has angered the entire country and government of Mexico for speaking the truth. He's risking his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor. That doesn't look like a man perpetrating a publicity stunt to me. I think the man is probably all in. I don't see the other candidates risking much of anything.
That is no reason to just get behind him 100%
I would hazard a guess that a lot of the resistance to Trump is coming from people who are 100% behind another candidate. Personally, I'm not behind any of them 100% at this point but I'm liking trump more and more. I definitely like what he has done this election cycle.
His past actions scream louder than any supposed stand he is taking now
He isn't a career politician that has spent his entire life carefully maintaining an image of political purity. He has spent his life taking care of business and I like that. I'm more concerned with what he might do than what he might have done.
Hm. I never said any of the other idiots were presidential. Look at Carson or Bush...those are just two of the fools running. I don’t recall me ever calling Clinton presidential, either. You’ll never catch me doing so. This isn’t about them, however. This is about Trump.
You make a good point about the drug lord, but what makes you think he knew that his speeches would incur the wrath of a third world drug lord? Maybe that was just an unintended consequence. Furthermore, I doubt Trump would mourn the loss of any friends who wanted to drop him—he’s too self-absorbed to care. And how has his “speaking the truth” lost him businesses? I am genuinely curious on that score.
I personally am not behind anyone 100%. I really do like Cruz, but I am not stupid and I know that politics is a corrupting business. I would like to think that a person can keep his integrity despite being involved in politics, but there probably aren’t any.
I do appreciate a person who can get things done, but it depends what he intends to do. People, I truly believe, go back to what they have known and with what they are familiar. Trump, is probably no different. Furthermore, I am a fiscal conservative, but I am also a social conservative. I believe that my social views are equal to, if not more important, my fiscal views. I need and desire a candidate who aligns with most, if not all, of these views. I also expect a certain level of deportment from political officials...something which the current lot sorely lacks. All I know is that I refuse to be the “lesser evil” types that generations before me have been known to produce. So Trump is a no go for me. Of course, other people are free to vote as they wish and I will vote as I wish.
