Trump is running on a small, sharply focused set of promises: build the wall/restore sovereignty, set the conditions for a thriving economy that produces good jobs, get the debt under control, rebuild the military, fix the VA, and rip up bad trade deals to be replaced with deals favorable to the US. These are the promises he will put all his time and energy into. The results will astound.

That would be an intriguing idea, if only he'd kept his mouth shut about his hopes for undercutting moral issues! If he's so focused on those "narrow priorities" (and lots of those promises strike me as "pie in the sky" on which he can't realistically deliver--he just doesn't have the power/authority to do any of them, unilaterally), then why did he even need to COMMENT on tearing apart the last vestiges of moral framework for the nation? No one forced him to opine on those issues; he could've said, "My priorities are jobs and security; don't ask about anything else!"... but no, he let his "inner liberal" shine through, when talking about abortion and sexual perversion. He really doesn't seem to have any moral compass at all... which is just Obama by another flavor, in that regard.

I'd like to agree with you on the "fix the structural things first" approach... but that doesn't work. When a country falls into moral decay, its collapse is inevitable... no matter how good the roads and walls are, in the meantime. And when the decay reaches a critical point, the people will have abandoned the work ethic necessary to BUILD these walls and sound financial structures and deals; they'll be too busy clamoring for bead and circuses.

If moral decay is the main issue, then start blogging for Christ and push back on social media. Hustle up your friends, neighbors and family and get them to church. I doubt that it really is your issue. If you want rapid warp speed moral decay, then re-elect the Clintons! She’d welcome your vote.

” if only he’d kept his mouth shut about his hopes for undercutting moral issues”

If you are a MORAL person, you need to stop lying and smearing others. Where is your moral compass preacher?

Am also curious to know about his jobs program. He says he will bring american jobs back from overseas. How does one do that without any solid plan? His own businesses have probably employed the “undocumented” and low wage workers which any business man who wants to compete and make the most for himself would do and Trump has shown to do that time after time? IMHO, I think most are being delusional thinking that Trump is going to reverse the last 20 years of overseas production and work and bring it back all stateside. Its great to do soundbites but actual execution is a different story I think.

The reason Trump answers questions is that he’s a businessman, not a professional politician. If we’d have only voted for yet another career politician, he’d know how to bob and weave, duck and dodge, tap dance and Texas two-step, shuck and jive, and parse like a Harvard lawyer.

We’d also get more of the same agenda that has ruined the country. When the country is gone, so are conservative values. When we have lost sovereignty, the country is gone. That’s where we are today. Hopefully Trump can salvage something from the wreckage. He stands a one-hundred percent better chance than any career politician who doesn’t even know—or worse, doesn’t care—that our sovereignty is long gone.
