What would Trump have to do or say, to get you to stop backing him?

I'm only leaning toward Trump. But to answer your question, the problem with your question is that Trump has a fairly long lifetime of success (with some failures) against which to measure something he says or does recently. He has been followed extensively by the press through most of his life, he has survived attacks against him and his projects, he has been sued and has sued. Unlike other politicians who wear masks all their lives, no one truly believes Trump is wearing a mask.

So those new disclosures and out of context comments that have spelled death for other candidates do not have same affect on me and I assume on others. Simply, we know who he is. When someone comes to support him they know him warts and all and have accepted him with his flaws. So that is why there is nothing he can say or do currently that will change his supporters.

My issue with Trump and the reason I hesitate to get on board is he is first and foremost a promoter. As such, I am weary about his motives. As the days go by and as he goes through each trial, I'm less likely to believe that someone will go through what he is going through unless he truly believes he wants to make America great.

I was a solid Cruz voter , but seeing him in the last few weeks has brought me to leaning Trump for my vote in two weeks.

I understand that his non-PC talk is refreshing.

As far as I know, Trump has not said he would stop the corrupt backroom dealing that has destroyed this country. He’s said he will do BETTER backroom dealing.

As far as I know he hasn’t said he will restore the guarantees of the Constitution; he’s said instead that everything is NEGOTIABLE.

Do either of those things give you pause?

Raycpa you are very correct in your assusumtion he has not one thing to gain by going through this HORRIBLE experience!!! I think he has looked hard at what his kids and grandkids will have to go through to be as successful as he is and has decided NO WAY he would do SOMETHING to make their road a little bit easier for them!!! EPA, OSHA, IRS, the list goes on, & on, he wants being a successful business person attainable for anyone who wants to work hard and achieve it!!!! It has become having enough money to grease these slimy politicians palms!!!

It will be great that he’s a promoter because he will be promoting America.
