No, it’s not just Twitter, though his willingness to engage in petty Twitter feuds at the drop of the hat says something about his narcissistic temperament. But that’s not my only, or even main, problem with Trump. My main problem is that he is a faux-conservative huckster who has taken liberal positions his whole life, and is now pandering for votes by paying lip service to conservatism.

Heck, even on immigration (the centerpiece of his campaign), it wasn’t so long ago that Trump called Romney’s positions (and self-deportation rhetoric) “crazy” and “mean-spirited.”

Then who do you support?

I wouldn’t trust Bush, Rubio, or Walker in immigration because 2 are still for amnesty and one has flip-flopped back and forth. Cruz is my #1, but even Trump is sounding more forceful on dealing with illegals and has forced the discussion on it. That’s why I like him - he’s bringing up an issue that has been ignored for decades and forcing others to pay attention. And doing it in away that bypasses the MSM and GOPe. A perfect candidate? No, but he’s far above the McRomney types.
