I think young, right leaning voters, that know of him through his tv show, are going to listen to what he has to say. Going through the list, I’m pretty sure there is no one who has caught their interest as of yet.

Trump’s message will resonate ... It’s pro-American, quick, loud and catchy, built on proven success ... with a throw-the-bums-out-you’re-all-fired, enough-is-enough sort of revolutionary message that may just spark the fire that lies within them.

(I’ve never seen his show, and this is, of course, IMHO as the mother of a 27, 32 & 34 year old )

Trump is noisy and brash, not leadership material...

I think the balanced language of good leadership right now is somewhere between Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin.

I do support Ted Cruz for president and Trump is part of the GOPe divide the vote dilute the debates tactics to ensure a Jeb Bush win......

When Cruz announced his candidacy early he warned about all the folks coming out as candidates and telling you how ‘conservative’ they were.

We are there now.....

Much wealth is not easily divisible for turning fractions over to the govt annually. Much wealth is also productive for the economy. A wealth tax is a property tax which we already have in excess in many locales. What we need is an hours of your life tax from everybody, not just the rich.

I’d like to see his books. I suspect he spends more than he earns.

There is an argument for taxing wealth rather than income.

We actually agree about something.

I can see that Trump has you hook, line and sinker. I see him as a blowhard who is just looking to promote himself.

As others have pointed out, he's a self-aggrandizing, bullying self-promoter who is only looking out for himself and he's very good at it. That brash, arrogant confidence is what makes him successful (at least most of the time) in the world of business and entertainment.

He would probably be a disaster as a public servant. But by all means, go ahead and vote for him.

What we need is to get back to what made the USA great. No income taxes and no property taxes. We need tariffs and consumption base sales taxes. Then a young person could forgo buying and accumulate wealth as an option. As it is now you don't have that option.

I like Trump and think he could be a key player in a sane, pro-American administration. However, I don’t see him as chief executive material. The guy is way too much of a loud-mouthed buffoon.

That is what they said about Sam Adams, but sometimes you need a rock thrower....

I’d rather a Dem end us than one of ‘our own.’

You do what you need to. I’ll vote conservative.

But Trump is saying the things which are resounding to me.

He is right about everything.

Based on his long history of advancing conservatism? LOL!

Such a clown.

Now, there’s a shock.

Though note I didn’t say I necessarily agree with those arguments.

“So vote for Rubio or Perry and open your doors for the illegals. No sweat of my back.’

You have/will never see me say a favorable word about Rubio. Perry - no, I don’t think he will open any doors; if he is president, why would he want to? I’m waiting to see what Trump announces Wednesday. I am thinking he will run, but I don’t know.

True, but Sam’s role was rock-thrower, not President.

Here’s the thing.

It’s a fact. FACT that most of the right marched their asses into a booth and voted for a guy that personally gave his cash to an sbortion group who then threw in in the kitty to kill children.

They marched their asses into a booth and voted for a man that hired illegals got caught twice, exposed in the media and still hapt endangering his own family with them in his home.

They marched their asses into a booth and voted for a man that designed Obamacare and instituted it in Mass.

They marched their asses into a booth and voted for a man that passed and introduced America to Gay Marriage.

I dont feel like typing the entire list of rabid liberalism that is his record that people marched their asses into a booth and voted for. Because we all know it.

THEN:

Not satisfied with what they had done, some of them marched their asses into a booth and voted for two men that promised to work with Obama if elected while many more flooded sites like this screaming “We gotta take the senate NO MATTER WHAT!”

Now:

Do NOT freaking tell me that the people listed above are too right and just and holy to march their asses into a booth and vote for a man with about 2 mistakes on his record that PALE by comparison.

Just don’t.

Votes count more than words. Last November I voted for a senator and a representative who campaigned/swore that they would vote against Obama and his agenda. They lied.

Exactly my point and why I push so hard for abandoning the lesser evil crap. I think it’s interesting that many of the people that told me and those that believe as I do out ‘purity’ was the problem. Now the shoe is on the other foot and suddenly, they demand purity.

I’m shocked...not.

Cruz F’d up this TPP crap. No question. Remember the rabid praise when he shut the govt down? Remember all the adoration very time he stood up to Barry and the GOP?

What about all that? Reagan said 80%. Cruz, with his F’ups is at about 95 or better. Mitt was literally not measurable.

Cruz is head and shoulders over Walker and walker is the closest thing. Who also supported TPP. NONE of the dirtbags besides them approach 80 when you take into account their show voting, campaigning for the Gang of Ocho crap and licking the boots of McCain.

So people have a choice. Support Cruz or lose. Not the election. America. Thats not hyperbolic. It’s reality. If you can’t give him a mulligan on TPP, then you have a hell of a lot worse to make an excuse for. And when I say you, I mean all of us.
