RE: We dont know for sure,
One huge difference is this -— ALL OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE PAST GOVERNING OR LEGISLATING RECORDS WE CAN LOOK AT.
Trump’s only record is his business and his private dealings with others, and that’s all we have to go with as of now. And if you look at the “letter” in this thread, that’s exactly what the writer is focusing on.
“Trumps only record is his business and his private dealings with others, and thats all we have to go with as of now.”
And what he has done so far in the campaign...which is:
1. Single handedly demolishing PC, the country’s enemy #1
2. Take it to the propaganda organs (the media)
3. Take it to the establishment of all stripes
4. Put illegal immigration on the front burner...
5. ...As well as sanctuary cities
6. Stated a clear position on PP - defund them if they do abortions
7. Took a strong position on China, etc, regarding currency manipulation
8. Energized the conservative grassroots like no one else
9. Force the media to cover what he has to say, putting his bombastic style to good use
10. Not apologize or back down at the demands of the PC police, instead he doubled down
11. Come out strong against ISIS
12. Come out for a military so strong (and with the will to use it) that no one would mess with us
13. Come up with a simple slogan that resonates with sane americans of all stripes - “Make America Great Again”.
14. Dominate the news cycle for weeks at a time, getting all the attention and name recognition, and taking all the oxygen out of the other campaigns, in the process spending not a cent for all that publicity.
I’d say, not a bad RECORD TO LOOK AT for just the first couple of months. Long ways to go, but so far, what’s not to like?
To paraphrase that song, “Maybe it’s an egomaniac we’re looking for.”
My ideal candidate would be one with Cruz’s strong ideological underpinnings and Trump’s style - maybe they’ll eventually pair up.
