Ya know...I started out liking Trump’s toughness and assorted proclamations about the failure of Washington reps to follow through with promises re: Obamacare, Illegal Immigration, etc. HOWEVER, after less than a month, I was struck by this man’s overall shallowness, not just as it relates to his incessant name calling but his policy positions as well. I honestly get the feeling that he’s making much of it up as he goes along. Just a few days before he declared that he opposed bringing Syrian refugees to the United States, he said that he didn’t see how we could NOT allow at least some of them to come here. In addition, his EGO is soooooooooo huge that it seems like he can’t get beyond it much of the time. Anyone challenges him and he responds with frank childishness and mud throwing. I have visions of him sticking his tongue out at foreign leaders.

I have considered other candidates. I’m impressed with Ben Carson and, while it appears that a number of people here, aren’t fond of Rubio, I see him as far more conservative than Trump or most of the others in the field and I’m really impressed with how well he articulates the conservative message. He’s also a likable guy. And I’m impressed with Fiorina as well. As for Cruz, the rebel in him has turned a lot of people off and, while I admire his principled approach, I honestly do not think he would fare that well in the general election.

So you are saying you are okay with "a path to citzenship" as long as they say it nicely?

And some on here say Trump is shallow.

I agree with you on Trump. There are some bizarre things that come out of his mouth at times.

I also agree on Rubio but he blew it earlier on immigration. If not for this one issue, I believe I would be supporting him.

Ted is a good and brilliant man but I don’t believe he’ll gain much traction in this race.

The Russian media is getting the news out about the Russian air force bombing runs in Syria with photos of their brave pilots and I imagine it’s playing well overseas.

The conservative position is to leave the borders wide open and make a citizen of any and everyone who waltzes across??? If that's a conservative I'll admit I'm not one...I'll stick with Trump...
