Trump is growing on me. If he can prove that he will solve the border problem, he’ll get my vote.
Dr. Carson is a very nice man, but not one of presidential stature.
Why does Cruz remind me of Nixon?
Well, it’s not possible to prove that he’ll solve the border problem unless we can look into the future.
Trump is, however, the only candidate really campaigning on it and treating it seriously. Much as I like Cruz, he’s too squishy on illegals for me, and the whole handing out stuff to illegals fiasco makes me hesitate.
On top of that, one has to follow the money. There are lots of big donors out there who REALLY want lots of illegal invaders, and they’ll only give their support to candidates who will give them what they want: cheap labor and open borders. And if a candidate DOESN’T kowtow to that demand, the donor campaign money will fly away off to the other side.
So a principled candidate can’t be elected, and an unprincipled candidate won’t change anything.
Trump, on the other hand, can’t be bought. At least not by the cheap labor donors. If he only wanted more money than the billions he already has, he wouldn’t be running for President or funding his own campaign.
So, in my opinion and as far as I can tell, the only candidate in the race who even MIGHT secure the border is Trump. And I’ll take a ‘maybe’ over a ‘no’ any day.
