I can’t think of anything Mr Trump has said that I disagree with off the top of my head, no. There may have been something, but it must not have made much of an impression on me.

I do see him as exceptional & let’s face it, that’s a pretty low bar in the world of politics. He’s a pretty exceptional person in real life. (I was not a “fan” before this, but everyone has heard of him & has an idea of the things he’s done.) I rate politicians just a hair above used car salesmen. Joe Blow down the road could probably be nearly/ as exceptional, just without the money.

H1Bs & immigration (ground zero all my life), TPA, the Iran deal are all BIG deals to me. Yuge, as they say. So I was paying attention when they happened & pulling my hair out each time. You might note (if it matters) that I neither came out against Senator Cruz or for (all in “for”) Mr Trump until a little later than most of the people who are already into this. I’d be just as upset if it weren’t election season.

I am not all into proselytizing for Trump. People will choose whom they will & have their own reasons for doing so. Good! However, if someone misrepresents something about one of them repeatedly & I know about it, I’ll eventually speak up. That goes for everyone, including my candidate. (I’m not going to get all huffy if someone has something unknown & true to say about Trump. lol It better be true or I’ll git ‘em)
I will brag on somebody as fast as I will complain.

There is some degree of ego in all of them. I can put aside some of my differences with Jindal (his odds are about nil.) & I haven’t taken an eye off Scott Walker, just in case Mr Trump doesn’t pan out. Or Dr Carson. I’m sorry, tacticalogic- because you are SO civil & that is SO rare, but Senator Cruz… dang. I can’t unsee what has been seen.
God Bless you for being the way you are. It is a pleasure. You are a true gentleman (or lady).

I admittedly tend to look at things just a little bit sideways from how the rest of the world seems to. I see things like trade agreements and immigration quotas as fairly transient issues.

What I'm looking for in a presidential candidate is not someone who's going to "make America great again". I want someone who wants to kneecap the bureaucracies, hand the power back to Congress, the States, and the people, and watch us do it.

The has to be more than just a man with a vision, a pen and a phone. That's no way to run a republic.
