Help me understand: Why do YOU support Donald Trump?
Self

Posted on 02/27/2016 10:57:00 AM PST by sampai

As far as I can tell, Donald Trump is an unprincipled vulgarian. He would make a big show of deporting illegal aliens, only to "let the good ones back in." He supports single-payer healthcare. Before he flipped on the issue, he wanted to admit tens of thousands of Syrian "refugees." He has very un-American strongman tendencies.

Yet he's leading in the Republican primaries. So please help me understand: How would President Trump be better than, say, President Cruz?

Yes ... governor. So wake me up when Cruz or Rubio serves a few terms as a governor then.

If you are arguing that putting up a pair of first term Senators for the highest executive office in the world is the best way to go ... well ... enough said.

I think that’s it. Most of the GOP field has zero credibility. Trump has about 1% credibility. That’s the GOP we have built for the last thirty years. It’s where we’re at. I take no pleasure in that, but there you go.

Bad comparison. We’re talking about his plans for America when he becomes president. If he can’t go beyond vague generalities, then he is not allowing the public to be informed enough to make informed judgements.

Denial is not refutation.

Hey did you see my prediction that Jeff Sessions would endorse Trump just before the SEC came true. I’m a prophet. LOL!

So....I’m “denying” your claim that we don’t need anything beyond vague generalities from candidates before they vote? Ok. You can call it that if you want. But I would prefer to be an informed voter. It’s your choice if you don’t want to or think it unnecessary.

No. You're just trying to plausibly undermine credibility.

NO candidate gives comprehensive details for ANY plan they propose. Most Americans wouldn't have the background to properly evaluate said plan even if they did. And they damn sure wouldn't have the sophistication to discriminate between "the plan" and what the opponents of the plan would promulgate by way of "damage control" and/or oblique attack.

But in reality, you're coming at this the wrong way; it's not that people trust Trump to do what he promises, it's that they trust the others NOT to do what they promise.

LOL. Gotta love your justifications for why we can’t have even a little detail on Trump’s *plans*....

Absent an alien abduction Trump is the next President of the United States. Get on the Trump train. :-)

Anyone who can win the support of Sheriff Joe, Jan Brewer, and Jeff Sessions has my vote.

That's why I believe your objections are disingenuous.

You've already been GIVEN "a little detail," but you protest "it's not enough!"

Anybody with a pulse during the Gulf Wars saw this same strategy played ad nauseum by the democrats, not to accomplish anything different, but to do nothing more than damage the administration.

Vs. a thin-skinned, narcissistic, power-hungry oligarch with a Mussolini complex?

OK.

That wasn’t detail. It was super vague. Unless you want to count one sentence as detail.

Initially, I did not support him. Then I discovered that he had all the right enemies, The Establishment Republicans, the media, the traitors to America, etal. If they all hate him, he must be doing something right.

Yeaaaah.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and bet when you were a little kid playing "Army," you were the one who could be counted on to scream "YOU MISSED," no matter what.

Better idea: eliminate H1B entirely

That, is what I would like Trump to say. We don’t need them at all.

You don’t need to eliminate it if congress fights back. Just set the quota to zero every year.
