Trump has some very good policy positions, but he is a terrible candidate in that he blunders into some incredible faux pas, and he comes off as petty and juvenile and vindictive. He would really be an attractive candidate if he “cleaned up his act.” Being an iconoclast — and he is that — is a good thing, and he can parlay that to the presidency if he plays it right.
But, he won’t. It just isn’t who he is.
I voted for Trump in my state’s primary (though my decision was neck-and-neck with Ted Cruz).
I like a lot of things about Ted Cruz, as well. I just don’t think he is electable in the general election.
Still, if the GOPe throw us another designated loser and stiff Trump and Cruz, I will simply write in one of them in November, because by that time the GOP will be dead as it will be clear to everybody that the GOPe will happily cede the election — and the country and its future — to the rabid progressives on the left.
I hate to sound pessimistic, but I’m afraid the magic and beauty of what America was created to be is coming to an end. It was a hell of a ride, though, wasn’t it? Unless there is a traumatic change, with all that entails,
it will be generations before that America can resurrect, like the proverbial Phoenix.
I’m glad I’m 65 and have no children. I would despair to think what they would have to go through under the fascist progressives.
You won't have to write in. In the unlikely event that Ryan is forced on everyone, Trump will run 3rd Party.
In fact, I would love to see Trump v Ryan v Bernie.
I would agree with you regarding our country——I believe everything about our government is corrupt to the core and most citizens do not realize it——we need a strong leader who cannot be bought but even Trump would have problems with the Congress, etc. if he made it to the Presidency-—I personally believe they would attempt to kill him to keep their power-——I spent ove 5 yrs in WW2 time (Nomandy attendee) and I am sad that so many died for my country and such rotten thieves have taken it over now-—however, we gave America 70 plus years of freedom and relative peace so maybe that was all the Good Lord ment it to be-—best wishes-——cheers
