I tend to agree.
Trump really sounds good on some issues but not on the Second Amendment.

And I doubt that he would cut down the size of government. Walker is the only one who has a record to prove that.
Oh, and Trump was born in the U.S.A. That’s a good thing.
And for example, he could break the GOP stranglehold on fund raising. He’s already doing a pretty good job of taking control of the message. The party runs on inertia and Trump is jamming sticks in the spokes.
I HATE the circular firing squad and I have been sniping at “THE” Donald for ages.
I want a patriot and a statesman,not an opportunist/ charlatan.
Give me Cruz, he has the heart and the moxie.
Dems and Reps are both wrong on guns
It’s often argued that the American murder rate is high because guns are more available here than in other countries. Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. Source: The America We Deserve, by Donald Trump, p.102 , Jul 2, 2000
For assault weapon ban, waiting period, & background check I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record. Source: The America We Deserve, by Donald Trump, p.102 , Jul 2, 2000
I don’t know Trump’s motives, nor if he is serious about this campaign or not. But, for right now, I’m sure enjoying the show. I don’t think he would endure the crap he is taking if he wasn’t serious. He fights back, and that is what Americans want. No more of this - “there isn’t anything we can do about it, it’s the law of the land,” mush mouthed, roll-over Republicans.
Give me Cruz, he has the heart and the moxie.
He’s also praising Trump’s comments.
Trump is no conservative. I like his blunt commentary but he is not a true candidate. He’s stirring the pot...which is a good thing.
Or Jesse Ventura.
Absolutely correct. What I never see anyone ask is this:
With a government made up of very wealthy individuals who have all made millions for themselves, how do they manage to let our government go broke?
Lies, corruption, greed, lobbyists, special interest groups...
Our elected “officials” have ignored the peoples’ wishes for years. Trump comes along and has the courage to speak the unadulterated truth and both sides are quivering in fear.
He’s right. Border security is or should be the #1 issue in this election, and if someone had any sense at all we could stop illegal immigration almost entirely, and get Mexico to help. Trump has the idea but he hasn’t gone into detail. Same thing I’ve said for at least 10 years, but without the wall he talks about.
1. Shut off all foreign aid to everyone south of Texas.
2. Shut down tourist traffic into Mexico in the interest of public safety, it’s dangerous for Americans south of the border.
3. Seriously beef up border security. Put the military shoulder to shoulder from Laredo to San Diego if you have to.
4. Tell Mexico to shut down illegal immigration AND drug cartels and we’ll talk money.
I give it 6 months and you won’t be able to get a mouse across the border without papers. Mexico will be begging for their money back.
Right now the media is doing everything they can to crucify Trump, and to his credit he not only won’t back down, he’s still saying the same thing. They’ve called him everything but a white boy, corporations are cutting business deals, he’s not backing down.
Every day I’m getting closer to a decision to vote for Trump, he’s the only person to even try and tell the unvarnished truth in 50 years. I think he should seriously consider Cruz for VP...
“Like Ross Perot?”
There is no similarity between Trump and the Texas Twerp with all his “I’m Ross and You’re the Boss” BS! As Sheriff Buford T. Justice would say Perot was a “Texas Tick Turd!”
Riding the wave but rather dangerously.
Cruz opposes amnesty and has said so.
I'll take Cruz.
Understood.
Cruz is on that short list.
We don’t need any more Democans.
Or Republicrats.
We need someone who is effectively OUTSIDE the same old same old two party crapola.
Well he threw the vote.
Cruz lives by constitutional law and everyone hates him.
Carry on brother, you are getting flack, you must be right over the target...
