Sam, after his repeated comments about ISIS, how can you say that he doesn’t have a clue about the Islamic threat?

He clearly has his faults. However, the man is one of life’s winners. I’ll take a winner that gives me 70% of what I want, vs. the perfect man who cannot get elected.

Trump isn’t my favorite, Cruz is. But Trump is now my #2, mainly because I believe that he can win. We DESPERATELY need to defeat the Dems, or this country is toast. I’ll take a Trump victory, however imperfect his Presidency might be, over any other Republican’s loss every time.

Please remember what General George S. Patton, Jr. said:

“The Perfect is the enemy of the Good.”

He said it in the context of battle plans, but it applies to politicians, too (and many other things in life, as well).

That’s pretty much how I see things as well regarding Trump.

OK, I can possibly give him the benefit of the doubt that what he said about taking their oil is not all bluster.

By winning the election? He seems unelectable?
