“Just asking. I have not heard him espouse anything on any of these issues.”
Virtually all the candidates choose a few of their pet issues and hammer home on these while out there on the stump. Reagan used this technique, he chose 2 or 3 main issues to campaign on, and won. Trump’s issues are illegal immigration and the lousy treatment of our Vets, primarily. If asked questions on other topics, he always has an answer, and so far, I’ve been pleased with most of his answers, because they are conservative ones we endorse.
As you don’t like him, and haven’t from the gitgo, I doubt you even listen to much of anything he says. I also know, as do you I’m sure, that ALL of the candidates, Trump included, will be questioned thoroughly on all of the hot button issues at the debates, so within a couple of weeks, you will know a lot more about the candidates than you do today.
Trump has only been in the race for about a month, and is a businessman primarily, not a politician. We will learn much more about him and his views as time marches on. If you want pat answers, listen to the politician candidates, if you want perhaps less pat but a whole lot more honest answers, listen to Trump.
Trump is the right man at the right time in history. He’s going to do just fine, with or without your individual support. He can easily live without your approval as many other Freepers will pick up the slack and carry Trump’s banner for him (or wear his “make America great again” hat, lol. I love that hat.
It isn’t that I don’t like Trump...but I can ask questions about his candidacy. I know, I know...criticizing the Donald is off limits to many on here. But, Donald isn’t a Conservative...
Tell me about those answers so far. What was his response on Obamacare? Other than, we need to repeal it and my plan will be awesome?
What about the fence? I think just the other day, he back tracked and talked about only putting a fence in certain areas of the border. And, about those illegals who work hard staying here...
What about the 2nd Amendment? Did he flip on that too?
Gay marriage and the SCOTUS rulings?
Donald never really answers questions directly...if you listen to him. He rambles, starts the point and then diverts. It drives me nuts.
While you are right, I can get answers from politicians, you are being disingenuous. First, he has planned on running for awhile...he should know where he stands on the issues. Second, while he isn’t a politician right now, he wants to be one.
Trump is doing some pretty good things...but the right man at the right time in history? Really?
BTW, I don’t think many Freepers will carry his banner when they find out he still holds MANY Democrat positions.
