i.e. I want Trump to keep doing what he is doing, but I think an actual Trump presidency could be a catastrophe. Follow the story in the link to get the context from which the "strong man" emerges. It could be VERY bad in the end.

It is as if Obama has set us up for just such a man.

I think myself, and most others that are ENJOYING Mr. Trump, are feeling he will DO a LOT MORE GOOD than BAD.

I'll go with Trump before I would ever even consider Soros/Jarrett/Obama.

“he’s no conservative”

If we could meld Trumps business/people savvy with Cruz’s Constitutional savvy i believe this election would be over right now.

Otherwise, Trump is no angle but at the same time i don’t think he would let someone bully an angel.

Cruz might be a little to nice for the kind of scum that is national politics. Still i believe if it came down to it he also would stand up to the devil.

Excellent post. I am terrified of the deification of Trump by some of his supporters. The way that they don’t care about the rest of his views provided he attacks illegals and the liberal media really scares me. Because it reminds me of the early rise of Hitler where his supporters didn’t care about his views on government provided he would prevent a communist takeover of Germany and kept them distracted by blamed the rest of the countries problems on the Jews.

At this point Trump is doing something no one else is doing: standing up to BOTH the dems and RINO pubs, as well as liberal media. He is actually fighting and exposing the enemy, which must be done. His actually policies are unknown and questionable, but they couldn't possibly be as bad as the enemies he is opposing.

How would you rate Trump on a liberal scale compared to BO at 100%? Hillary is 100%, McCain was like 75%, Romney 70%, Bush 60%. Maybe Cruz is 10%. Suppose Trump is worse case 50%. That's still better than anyone fielded in recent decades and stops the liberal momentum.

Trump may have an ability to be a true leader and surround himself with people better and less liberal than himself. He indicates that he genuinely cares about America.

His actions indicate that he won't bow down and needlessly compromise with the enemy / liberals. He doesn't have a need to be liked.

He seems to have a head on his shoulders, although subject to excessive verbal spewing. His opinions change, not for political reasons, but because of better information or better understanding. When was the last time you saw that?

Constantly electing weak sycophants isn’t really the answer....

If it’s meant to be, it will happen. Democrats had their Trump back with Huey Long and that wasn’t meant to be. I think Trump will be more like Teddy Roosevelt. Inclined to do everything his way regardless.

I tend to distrust anyone that suddenly has an epiphany and starts supporting one party over the other. And yeah, don’t give me that Reagan argument, because Trump ain’t no Reagan. Not now. Not ever. And yeah, Trump donated to Republicans too. But not nearly as much as he donated to Democrats.

And the fact is....just 4-5 years ago Trump was donating to ‘Hillary for President’, to that ahole Chucky Schumer and to that even bigger ahole Harry Reid.

Sorry....but a leopard doesn’t change its spots that easily. It can and does, however, put on a cloak over those spots and change its’ behavior and tactics.

I don’t trust him.

I think if you are a “one-issue” person then you would be attracted to Trump.

I am concerned about several issues such as religious freedom, taxes and the expansion of government so I want a true conservative candidate.

Donald is a “one-trick” pony and if he is the nominee, I probably wont vote because I think he is a secret liberal- as liberal as Hillary.

I REALLY like what the Trump is saying. I like his attitude, I lake his effectively destroying PC and his takedown of the MSM. I like seeing all the liberal and GOPe heads exploding. I especially like him running a screen for Cruz.

Trump isn't running screen for Cruz. That's just nonsense.

I frankly LOVE what Trump is doing to the GOP-E, Democrats and the Democrat SHILLS in the liberal lamestream media. To me, it's entertaining as all hell to watch.

I want to see Trump elected if for no other reason, than to watch liberal talking heads EXPLODE like they did in 1994 when Republican's took the House & Senate away from William Jefferson Blythe Clinton and stopped Hillary-Care (now Obamacare) dead in its tracks.

Watching the meltdown on CNN with Judy Woodruff crying was particularly satisfying for me.

Having said that, pick your horse in this race, get behind them and go balls out for victory.

Trump, Cruz, IMO doesn't matter. Either one's going to rock the foundations of D.C. Trump will certainly be more entertaining to watch while doing it, but I can live with a Cruz Presidency. I don't agree 100% with either one of them on everything, but either's light years better than the moron in the White House today and exponentially better than anything the Democrats have to offer.

Just my .02.

The But trolls are another version of the Concern Trolls. Or their cousins.
