I don't dislike Trump..

I just don't think he's presidential material.

Governments don't operate or work at all like a for profit business, and businesses don't act as leader of the free world, or field the largest military on the planet.

They also don't owe 20 trillion bucks and have real debt including unfunded liabilities of nearly 135 trillion.

Businesses don't have a Constitution, don't have a justice system with vast numbers of judges who must be nominated, nor do they have a supreme court.

Building a wall on the Mexican border is not enough. Immigration as a issue is only one of many pressing issues that need immediate attention.

To do all this you need someone who understands the history, the law, the nuances of government as well as the politics and the people. They have to be far more then a strong leader. They don't have the luxury of a long learning curve. They have to hit the ground running.

They have to by necessity, understand why they do things in order to convince those who actually implement the policies.

We have none of that in Barrack Obama....

I am not going to DOUBLEDOWN on that societal error of judgment.

I submit that what you need is to study what Trump has said on the issues you bring up. He is not a novice and has written more than a few books in which he states clearly what has been going wrong with our Republic. He has real world experience albeit in the business world however that experience has more than prepared him for the brass knuckle world of political engagement. Thus far, he has handled himself pretty damn good as a first time candidate.

The American people are not in the mood to elect another ‘business as usual’ politician. The ‘learning curve’ argument doesn’t hold water. Trump has staked out positions which more than ensure that he WILL ‘hit the ground running’.

As that graphic that states so clearly (and needs no reposting), “when both political parties hate you, America loves you!” and that is what explains Trump’s consistent and persistent lead in the polls, the outpouring of support, the crowds that exceed those of all other candidates. He connects with We The People, which is why the odds are in favor of Trump becoming the 45th President of the United States.

“Building a wall on the Mexican border is not enough.”
And Trump is the ONLY candidate to go further, by deporting the illegals. All the others will let them stay, which is amnesty.

Caving to their donors, no doubt.

I might be wrong about Jindal, he might not be for letting them stay. But I know that all on the main stage have except Trump are.
