You’re right; just because these problems gave rise to Trump, doesn’t mean he is the solution. But it also doesn’t mean he’s not.

I realize Trump is likely to be a disappointment in many ways. He doesn’t embrace the conservative principles of limited government. If he reduces the scope of government it will likely be for efficiency or budget control, rather than for purposes of enforcing he limitations placed on the role of government per the constitution. If he stems the flow of illegal immigrants it will probably be for the wrong reasons. I know Trump won’t be a philosopher president who inspires a conservative movement.

I just feel almost certain that a ‘normal’ politician, even one with all the right conservative credentials like Cruz will be immediately gobbled up by the uniparty establishment, totally unable to make any difference at all. I’d like to give Trump a shot just because he shows some signs of rebellion.

It appears inevitable that the wishes of many on these boards will be fulfilled and Donald Trump will have his chance to make America great again. As I said, I will vote for him. A reluctant vote counts just as much as an enthusiastic vote.

I will even have his back so long as he behaves himself. We shall see.
