I know, Alas, and that is the ONLY reason I would vote for Trump.
It scares me a little that he seems on pace to win the nomination. I cannot imagine either the crook Hillary or the socialist Bernie winning against anybody ....
except maybe Trump. Trump arouses strong feelings ...lots of people cannot stand him.
This is not because I’m for Cruz. When this thing got going I had Trump as a close second to Cruz ... would’ve been happy to see him win.
Little by little I found out stuff about Trump that made me cringe... little stuff and big stuff.
He will be a blond version of Obama. He will be for big government but think he can run it better. He has no core values on social issues; no strong urge to reform the tax system and his main issue - immigration is now shown to be a revolving wall.
If only I were for Donald Trump. People would like me.
Well I still very much like you!
But I do disagree about Trump.
He will not be a “blond Obama” in any way.
I honestly believe he will surround himself with top-notch people like he does in the business world, and fight political correctness, 5the decline of American manufacturing and business, and NOT take crap from foreign leaders.
It hurts my heart to see our country in such distress, frankly, distress caused by Obama and the go-along-to-get-along Republican leadership. The short-sighted Chamber of Commerce’s love for the Cheap Labor Express has corrupted both parties badly and this is also a dagger to America’s heart.
Where was ANYONE until Trump made this an issue?
As for trust, I trusted the Republicans we worked so hard to get elected in 2010 and 2014... They, not me, completely broke that trust, called us whacko birds and other names, and then turned around and gave Obama all that he wanted.
In this case, I have seen with my own eyes that you cannot trust something that comes out of a politician’s mouth anymore than the proverbial scorpion not to sting you.
I don’t “trust” Trump or Cruz. I just think Trump will bust more heads. I want that.
In the long scheme of things, the current President needs to think about not just how he or she would run it, but how the next President would run it. And the next President. And the next ..... so on and so on.
If anything keeps me awake at night, it would be that part. As long as we retain our current form of government, the current President is out of office after 8 years, and then it's up to the next person. See Reagan followed by Bush, or Kennedy followed by Johnson for examples.
