And so say if he gets elected to Senator or Representative or President, because they have financial supported him, and they come to him with a ‘favor’ he has to accept this is part of the deal of taking their money to run his campaign plus when he wants to talk about something, well he can't because his ‘handlers’ have a different view on the subject
...all part of the game...

Trump is not playing that game, he will do, as POTUS, what he thinks is best for the Country, he will confer with different people, and confer with the House and Senate and get along, anything to help Make America Great Again....and that is what the other candidates don't have....

He needs to stop saying "ya know."

That really grates and detracts from his message.

Makes him sound like a valley girl.

That may very well be and I agree that, for the most part, Trump will do what he believes to be the best for the country. However, I don’t accept the premise that, in 44 years of doing business and becoming a billionaire, Donald Trump doesn’t owe anyone any favors - despite the fact that he’s supposedly financing his own campaign.

Both Trump and Carson have both spoken frankly about a lot of topics that are very unpopular with the political left. Remember, it’s Dr. Carson who, 2 1/2 years ago, openly criticized Obama and his policies with Obama sitting right in front of him, which is what gained him national attention and prompted the “Draft Carson” campaign. While I have some doubts as to his qualifications to be president, I have no doubts about his moral courage.

Money in politics can be a good thing or a bad thing. It depends on the politician that uses it.

People like John McCain, Linsey Graham and all the Democrats hate money in politics and wish to have the government control it. I'll add your name to the list.

I don’t think Carson is a bad person, I just don’t think he’s presidential material....

Trump, if you read his books, you will find out that he is his own person, he doesn’t owe anyone anything...what he does, he does on his own...he knows the people that are good, and he knows the people that are bad...

It’s like when Trump announced in June, he’ll fizzle out, nope he hasn’t yet; then they said he doesn’t know what to do about immigration, he came out with an immigration plan, then he came out with a tax plan, he talks about vets and wounded warriors, he talks about doing away with the 19 trillion dollar budget by bringing jobs back to America, he talks about a wall on the border, you don’t think he can’t build a wall after building what he has? If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you....

What have the others talked about? What have the others produced? nothing...nothing...nothing....

I think telling the media that there role is to be “objective” is what they want to hear.

But that really is not their role. The problem is *not* that the media is not “objective”, it is that the media has become a unicultural oligopoly where dissent is not allowed. They owe their allegence not to truth, but to advancing the leftist agenda. The origninal vision of a free press was one where there were multiple competeing outlets, all with their own agendas and ideologies.

It is the centralization of the media that has caused such great damage; and it is by design, since 1900, and it is the decentralization and the creation of the new media that is giving us hope.
