And all the time we have a whole bench full of decent, intelligent, principled conservatives, each getting only a few percent in the polls. (spelling corrected)
Who would that be, other than Cruz?
The rest of the pack want to abandon the rule of law and accomodate the fraudulently documented foreigners by changing the laws. Not very intelligent, principled or conservative.
There are a number of scary things about Mr. Trump... not the least of which are what appear to be possible narcissistic tendencies. Having said that... he seems committed to securing our borders and making it difficult for people here illegally to stay. In this dangerous world this is the most important priority for our country's survival.
As much as I personally prefer a couple of the other candidates... they also do not seem to have the charisma that will get them elected. I think that Hillary is toast which will probably mean that crazy Uncle Joe will be the Democrat to beat. Despite his gaffe a minute reputation, after watching him on television lately I have come to the realization that he actually will be a formidable foe. I think Trump is the one who is probably best equipped to take him on. They will be fighting over swing voters who seem to respond well to Trump. The dirty little secret is that Despite Trump's hard line on illegal immigration he actually has more Hispanic support than Romney did.
