Mr. Trump has no desire to acquaint himself with most issues, let alone master them. He has admitted that he doesn’t prepare for debates or study briefing books; he believes such things get in the way of a good performance. No major presidential candidate has ever been quite as disdainful of knowledge, as indifferent to facts, as untroubled by his benightedness.
Trump is the laziest candidate I have ever seen.


There are a lot of big assumptions there. Personally, I am tired of expert reports, This is a time for conmmon sense, there is a time for details later.

Right now we ARE WAY PAST LIBERAL / CONSERVATIVES issues. We are fighting for the future of our nation. We are bankrupt and almost beyond repair.

During the Financial crises of the 80s, old tough men were brought to the banks that were in trouble because they could make tough decisions and they didn’t live in the community of the banks.

We need someone that can make decisions and implement them.

We will have time for conservative issues later.

So you don't mind another Obama then, ignoring Separation of Powers, ignoring the Constitutional process, ruling with "a phone and a pen"... you just want it to be the kind of tyrant that YOU agree with to do it all. Not smart, and one of my biggest fears with Trump. The precedent, after 16 years of Obama and Trump, would be set in stone. The Constitution matters.

‘We are bankrupt and almost beyond repair.’

If Trump wins this, a few hours after he enters the White House people out on the street will hear a loud, incredulous rampage of words. Trump only has an inkling of how bad it is. He will be SHOCKED.

The next few weeks will result in massive change and panicked bureaucrats, especially in the State Department.

... BUT ...

If Cruz wins this? I have NO IDEA. He will probably throw up from the shock the same way MacArthur did after talking to FDR about military budgeting.

Cruz would wish he never had the job. It’s ugly as sin. Sick, depraved, and ...

Sure, Cruz might make things better, particularly with judicial nominees. But I know what it’s like to walk into a mess. Procedures and regulations will only confuse you. You need to take swift decisive action, trust your gut, expedite meetings and discussion time, and work your tail off.

I disagree. I am a conservative. So why would I vote for Trump? I want to vote for the candidate I think is the best combination of competent, electable, and conservative. And that rules out Trump on all three counts.

As i recall laziness was a common refrain from libs in relation to Reagan. Not just lazy but intellectually lazy.
