I am an issue oriented person. I want to know what platform they are running on. Let’s take abortion. After donating to Democratic proabortion candidates for decades Trump’s now firmly antiabortion. Hmm. Wanted to shut down Planned Parenthood after the selling baby parts fiasco, yet he’s walked back from that now and praises Planned Parenthood. Will “negotiate” a deal with them to continue federal funding? What is it? Can’t have it all ways.
On Obamacare, he said ...oh, I am against that. Then, at a rally when asked a question, he states that he is for FREE healthcare for all. Which is it?
On immigration, he’d build a wall and end illegal immigration....yet he will “negotiate” federal visa programs...what exactly is his position there? He slams Disney for firing folks and hiring from the visa immigrants....so where exactly is he really on this issue?
I could go on with Trump. I sat here last night trying to follow Trump’s answers and determine what he is saying.....yet all I heard was “Lyin’ Ted” and “Little Marco”...until I was ready to scream.
Trump is a petty tyrannical man....works great if you are in business and THE boss of that business. Does not work so great when running for public office. Then he is MY employee and I simply can’t trust him on the issues. He is “flexible” on all the issues from what I can see.
For me, Cruz is firm in his beliefs and acts with conviction in public office to uphold those beliefs. That counts for a lot with me.
When asked about his healthcare for all, even the liberal media hack asked who was going to pay for it and Trumps response, "the government".
today he walked back the waterboarding. his views shift daily.
I take a different approach with Trump. I have changed my initial impression on countless issues. None of that bothers me. Cruz has been accused on changing his position on a variety of issues.
