You know what, I’m a Trump supporter, but this nonsense of, “...are you just another Trump hater?” does neither Trump nor your argument any good at all. Throughout the remainder of this campaign and throughout the course of his term in office, he will be subject to the same scrutiny as anyone else. While I support him and will vote for him (unless something drastic occurs), I drink Kool-Aid for no one. Like any candidate, we will need to remind him of why we voted for him anytime he appears to be waffling on any topic.

As for your claim that he “did NOT want to run for president” and has said so many times in the past, the truth of the matter is that he considered a run for president in 1988 and has done so several times since (1988, 1999, 2004 and 2012). Ergo, you can’t honestly characterize him as a reluctant candidate.

And, to answer your question as to why he might compromise on the issues that will bring him the nomination, that’s easy: To gain the support and funding of the RNC and win the presidency, which is going to cost $1-1.5 billion.

What I said was Trump has said in the past that running for president is not something he wanted to do. In this case he is running because he feels he has to run. He feels his country is under threat. That is very different from actually running for the power of the position.

People often do things they do not want to do because they believe it is the right thing to do.

I can never understand people that pick a candidate and blindly follow them. Anyone who dares to question said candidate is then flamed and attacked by them. I am willing to criticize my candidate or express differences with said candidate. It’s important to hold the candidate to the fire. We like Trump because he ran a campaign criticizing politicians for capitulating. We want someone who isn’t politically correct and will say and do something he believes is right regardless of the media and party bosses. Candidates can’t forget the people who put them where they are.
