Fair enough. Thank you for your response. I have not dropped out. I simply seek information/entertainment in other media that are more liberty-oriented. I am usually attacked whenever I post anything on FR, because I value liberty more than the average Republican. I see Trump as a sideshow circus act. And while claiming to be an “outsider,” he is very close and chummy to a lot of politicians. I hope that he does not get nominated or elected. And if he does, then I hope like hell and pray that I am wrong about him.
I have very strong libertarian leanings, but I see a leader in Trump that the country needs right now. My own observation is that you (and the rest of us) should not put our faith in any politician, they always find a way to break our hearts. But Trump has the best approach to this election. It is time for Political Correctness to die and for a leader who is not beholding to the donors who put him/her in power.
Hillary is not the answer, she is part of the problem.
The GOP establishment is not the answer, they too are part of the problem.
Do not expect either part to go quietly. I expect Trump will need all of our support before this is over.
I think you are wrong about Trump, but obviously I have a pretty big bias, I was cheering him on way back in 2011 already. He was seriously toying with running way back then too.
Do you have any disagreements with any of his currently stated positions? I’m just going to guess that you probably don’t. At least not deal breaking disagreements.
Guessing again, I think your hesitation or outright opposition comes down to one very simple issue, you don’t trust him, probably for statements made in the past. I think that why most Freepers who oppose him do so.
In my book that’s a very valid reason to not support him, not to vote for him, and even oppose him.
Or maybe his bombastic style?
I don’t want to put words in your mouth, I’m just making guesses.
I’m very much a hands on kind of guy. I like people who can point to a string of things they have accomplished, and Trump certainly fit that bill on day one.
Add in the more important things which he has outlined in his speeches and papers, and I have a candidate who matches up nearly all of what I am looking for.
