So relativism is invoked and the argument now moves from Trump is incorruptible because he doesn't need the money to, okay, Trump was corrupt in the private sector but it doesn't matter because everybody does it and now we need a president from the private sector (a businessman) but not, for example, a doctor who is untainted by corruption or a Fortune 500 CEO also untainted (so far) by corruption.

If, for example, Carly Fiorina is alleged to have engaged in some sort of influence buying a la Donald Trump, will we be told that disqualifies her or will we merely be told that because she did it that makes it okay for Trump to have done it?

If the country needs a financial manager and Trump is the only man qualified, you are promoting him for the wrong job, he should be running the Fed. A conservative president does not manage the economy, he manages politicians and bureaucrats and hopes that he can stop them from managing the economy. If you believe that Trump will keep his hands off the economy, or a better way to put it, that Trump will keep his ego out of the economy, you must have witnessed his epiphany which I somehow missed.

The anti-establishment conservative alternative to Jeb Bush is not Donald Trump, it is Ted Cruz.

>>The anti-establishment conservative alternative to Jeb Bush is not Donald Trump, it is Ted Cruz.

Then Cruz needs to up his game and beat Trump. When you are #1 in the polls you don’t quit. Why are you trying to convince us that the guy who is #4 is the best choice? If he was the best choice and Trump was just a phenomenon, the Cruz would be #2. But he’s not. He’s losing to a guy that you can barely hear when he speaks.

Cruz isn’t the answer if he’s not electable. And like the others, he’s not perfect either—from his ardent and misleading defense of TPA/TPP to the repeated boast that he is against amnesty—while quietly saying he’d legalize illegals.

What makes you think Cruz is anti-establishment? Cruz is pro amnesty. Pro Patriot Act. Pro New World Order agenda. And one could argue Pro Muslim Brotherhood since he favored cutting aid to Egypt after Egypt ousted its' MB government. Cruz has spend his entire adult life in Academia and Government. Hardly an anti-establishment resume and when coupled with the above makes me seriously doubt Cruzs' judgment. I think Cruz needs a few more years to demonstrate his bonifids before asking conservatives to vote him POTUSA.

Trump will enforce existing immigration laws. Only Trump will and for that reason alone Trump deserves the vote of every thinking American.

I have always enjoyed and respected your opinions.

I would agree on your sentiments here as well.

Cruz would (should) be that person BUT is it possible? For awhile there, it was Palin who was going to lead us to salvation. Turns out she didn’t have it.

When I look back on the past 7 years that the current prez has been in office and then compare his pedigree and accomplishments prior to becoming president to Trump’s, I have no problem supporting Trump as the alternative candidate to Cruz.

This country has bottomed out from a societal, economic and military perspective and is a joke to the international community.

What is there to lose at this point?
