You’ve not asked me before what my most important issue is. It’s illegal aliens/immigration/the border.
Rubio won’t do anything about it, nor will Bush. Cruz might give it a weak stab, but that’s it. I support Trump b/c we haven’t tried anyone like him before. We’ve tried Rubio, Bush, Cruz, Christie, etc before (at least many like them). Maybe he’s bamboozling us? My clairvoyance is on the fritz so I really don’t know, but neither do you.
Burning the GOPe to the ground is just a fringe benefit.
This is simply not true. We know that Cruz and Rubio have advocated for a border wall. I believe Bush has too.
Trump has suggested that he will deport all illegals (which may or may not be practical), but he has also said that they can return -which is still amnesty.
On the other hand, Trump talks tough, won't be pushed around, and is good at getting things done. But there is nothing to suggest that he will be any better at solving our immigration or national security problems than either of his other two main competitors.
To me, all of this finger pointing and demonization of individual candidates seems a lot like tribalism.
But yes, we do know from Trump's life history that he lies all the time. It's not because he is immoral though. It's because he is a businessman. He feels like due diligence is the obligation of the counterparty, and that anything legal done in the interest of bringing a deal to closure is acceptable.
