I support Trump for several reasons.

1) He’s most qualified to get us out of this economic mess, wants to put America first. These political sellouts have come up with lopsided trade deals that are killing us.

2) He’s the only one with a proven record of taking on the establishment and media and winning. It’s the world against Trump and he stands there totally alone yet wins. That gives me hope of breaking up the cabal.

3) He’s pro-military, pro-life, and go-to-the-mat pro 2nd Amendment.

I truly believe Trump is our last chance to fix this country. Another politician, any politician will either be defeated by the left and their media or be one of them. Trump has his flaws but I think that his kids and grandkids have given him perspective on some things, freedom being one of them.

Oh and he wants to seal the border, really seal the border. He wants to immediately deport gangs and drug dealers, enforce e-verify, and clamp down on employers skirting the law. If he only did that much, we’d be 1,000 times better off. I think he’ll do that because most big money guys are pro-amnesty and I believe that’s what’s kept us from doing it sooner. Not a problem for Trump.

That’s why I support Trump. Thanks for being civil and asking.

pro-life

Has he given a nickel of his 10 billion dollars to any pro-life group?

Thanks for being positive. I am not at all convinced that Trump is anything other than a showman. He is saying a lot of things that tickle the ears of conservatives, but his track record of fighting for conservative causes and candidates is pretty thin.

The problem here on Free Republic is that this forum has become Cruz Bashing central and Birther Central. I had hoped for a Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump ticket, but when Trump went birther and then went dirty on the campaign loans, that pretty much ended whatever opportunity there was for a “dream” ticket.

This forum was Ted Cruz country just a few short weeks ago. Cruz did make some errors in voting for TPA and the Corker Amendment, but neither of those votes have any meaning since Obama apparently is going to implement the Iran Agreement and TPP without even going to Congress. Ted Cruz has admitted he was wrong on TPA. I don’t know if he has repented for the Corker vote.

Trump has made a number of completely contradictory statements recently including his apparent support for touch back Amnesty, a position that even Rubio does not favor.

Trump is not going to be a political savior. I think he is the Federal equivalent of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He will run as a conservative and then lead as a liberal.

Right now I am very dismayed with all the hatred being shown against Ted Cruz. He has a 100% ACU rating and has never contributed a dime to Hillary or Bill Clinton.

If you are looking for your candidate to save the world, then you are going to be sorely disappointed. Everyone thought Arnold Schwarzenegger would save California. How’d that work out?

Uh, Trump previously stated he was pro-abortion.
In his 2000 book, America We Deserve, Trump wrote, “I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.”
