When your house is on fire, you don’t call a plumber to fix the garbage disposal; you call a fireman to put out the fire before it burns your house down.
Immigration, trade, & terrorism are the three fires burning our country down.
While I believe Cruz would make an excellent terrorism fireman, he is in no way an immigration or trade fireman. Those fires will burn as just as brightly as they are now if Cruz becomes president.
I sympathize (and agree) with those concerned about social issues, but these were long time developing problems, the solutions will take a long time to develop also. The next president (Cruz or otherwise) will have minimal (if any) impact in turning them back.
Our national house is on fire; immigration, trade, and terrorism are the fires burning it. Trump is far from the ideal candidate, but he is the ONLY fireman in the race.
If not Trump, who?
It is very important to identify the fire correctly. Immigration, trade, and terrorism are political issues. If our moral decay is not addressed, we may save the country from the outside forces you mentioned, but lose it none the less.
I think DT should have stayed with his strengths in this questions. Maybe respond something like ‘if they are an illegal alien and want to use the restroom of their choice, they can do that back in their home country’.
Respond with these gotcha-ya questions like this, and they will start having to contort themselves to ask him a question...he can just sit back and laugh.
