I can’t believe so many here are falling for the Trump Con, it is as though this guy had no history before two weeks ago or is like it was with obama; words Trump everything else, who Trump really is does not matter so long as he says things that make people FEEL good, conservatives are supposed to be thinkers.

I too like hearing the bold and brash rhetoric, but the overall picture of Trump reveals he doesn’t mean it like we are hearing it.

You don’t understand. We aren’t “falling for a trump con.” We were disgusted to look at a probable Murderous Amoral Clinton Regime, a full on Cosby style rapist in the WH, along with a Muslim Brotherhood leader sleeping there, or an Amnesty promoting total Loser Bush dynasty dauphin in there. We were cringing that our elections have become a Media Controlled Joke.

I personally had resigned myself not to fight Hillary with a spongy loser GOPe guy. I was planning to abstain if we got Bush Clinton again. I was watching our once great country just circling the drain.

Then along came Trump, telling truths and doubling down on them. Putting the lying media in their place. Owned by no one. Afraid of no one.

FALLING FOR A CON?? You kidding me? Bush Clinton is the con!!!! The media does the conning!!!

I do not care if Trump is a liberal!! He is better than either one of those two. I did not think cruz has much of a chance because the media treats him like a freak. Being on Trump’s ticket might be the only way to get a President Cruz,

I went to Trump's website.

Where does he stand on Obamacare, and abortion within it?

Where does he stand on minimum wage?

Where does he stand on gay marriage, and religious freedom?

Where does he stand on Common Core?

I look at pics of Trump and believe he is running to win. He is serious.

I look Trump's actions and see an admirable, generally constructive business opportunist. An admirable one, but with zero guiding political principles, that I can see. Nothing on his website tells me about his political philosophy. He has none.

He has passion for the game and for throwing himself into succeeding at what he aims for.

Other than that ...

Ted Cruz, on the other hand, I know exactly where he stands on those things, I know Cruz abhors excess government for the same reason I do. I know Cruz believes in the Christian essence of America, founded on Christian principles, the same way I do. I know Cruz wants to repeal Obamacare, as I do. I know Cruz and I are on the same limited government Christian conservative page.

I know Trump is a passionate achiever of personal goals, and I admire him for it.

That's as far as it goes.
