Oh really? I happen to strongly dislike the weak kneed wimps that have been running this country far too long. When was the last time America won anything? Seems to me it was 1945. Since the bloody damned United Nations was created, we take the licking, pay the bills, and everybody else gets a free ride.
Patrick Henry had it right! “Peace, peace, there is no peace. The war is actually begun.”
The people of this country are DEMANDING A STRONG LEADER. The ONLY one on the scene is Donald J. Trump. The rest of the suits on the stage are the same old shills.

Thanks for your reply.

>>>”DEMANDING A STRONG LEADER”

I got that from your first reply. :)

My problem is where Donald wants to lead us and how.

He seems to be quite comfortable as a despot, not good. I greatly prefer freedom, and with Patrick Henry, liberty.

And what of Trumps policies? What do you like of his economic policies for example?

We won’t be much good against the “international mafia” and “NWO” if our economy is in the dumpster.

Strong leader is good; can also be very bad if leading you off the cliff.

It’s not enough.

I also disagree that Donald Trump is a strong, or good, leader.

Leaders have integrity and a solid foundation of principles. They don’t change with the wind.

Trump doesn’t qualify.

And, braggarts and bullies? They are always, always, cowards underneath.

thanks again for your replies.

Just WHERE do you think our economy is now?
What has happened to our ability to provide ourselves with HARD GOODS?
We don’t even smelt our own lead for our bullets anymore. What if we were in all out war?
Look at Detroit and a thousand other formerly prosperius towns and cities in America. Why don’t we export cas in the millions instead of import them? Look out the window at the cars around you next time you’re stopped at a traffic light. Do you see any American cars? if you’re lucky, you might see one or two.
We used to grow cotton in the south then ship it to the mills in the north and south and then to our own fabricants to make it into clothing. Now we grow the cotton, ship it out, and buy it back as a finished shirt or skirt.
Every time we ship our jobs overseas and diminish our work force, we put a heavier burden on our economy. We are the greatest consumer. Why don’t we consume our own goods any more? BECAUSE we don’t MAKE them any more.
Ships, planes,Vehicles, Computers, Clothing, etc. etc. etc. China above all is the culprit. Long past time to take or country and our economy back. Put our own people to work with our own raw materials and bring the middle class out of the shadows. Send the illegal immigrants home and put back on our products the label MADE IN AMERICA. THAT is what Donald J. Trump is preaching. It is NOT what the NWO Cruz and Rubio and Kasich are preaching.
FREEDOM comes with prosperity. A strong economy pays the bills, lessens the drain on the government, and gives us the possibility to bringing the bureaucracy under control. Trump wants LESS Rules and regulations which are strangling our productive force. The other contenders are the ones responsible for the crushing burden we are now suffering. They have voted FOR Obama’s bills. They have produced NOTHING of value. Look at the skylines where Trump has walked. You see progress and beauty. You see people employed and paying their bills, living the American life. How many people have Cruz and Rubio ever employed? What do they know about the real world/ What do they know about even basic economics? Rubio can’t even balance his checkbook.
What is to me incredulous is how you dare to question Trump’s economic qualifications with the evidence of it in hard, cold, stone,while giving a pass to Cruz and Rubio when they are not even graduated from kindergarten yet. What have they produced? A few pieces of paper? We don’t need more laws, we need less laws and government intervention.

Besides, I am not afraid of a strong leader. I’ve been one all my life. Strong people win battles. Weasels and wimps do not.

>>>FREEDOM comes with prosperity. A strong economy

I agree. Did you think the auto bailouts and bank bailouts were good for the economy. Trump does. And his economic policy will repeat that on a grand scale.

Raising prices and costs of goods, production and service for everyone. To benefit the few. With more government control of the economy and our lives.

He’d be a disaster for the economy.

Sorry. I’ll stay with my experience and knowledge of the economy....and also on an international basis.
Globalist is not compatible with American. One or the other. Can’t have both. We are on the track of Globalist as the NWO desires. Our economy is suffering and will continue to do so until we get back on the right track. ONLY Trump can accomplish the necessary changes. Those who have helped put us where we are certainly do not deserve the chance to finish their job of destroying us.

Bailouts, protection for some, taxes from others given to a few, government politicians voting on who benefits? Fewer imports and exports...

I’m not sure of your knowledge and experience, but Donalds economic program would be a disaster. Hillary’s would be a slow choke, Trumps a fast hanging.

Higher prices, less goods, higher cost of living, fewer exports.. Big government never fixed any economy - Trump thinks otherwise.

Demand-side, big government control of the economy liberals have put us where we are.

Donald agrees, he’s no fix. Conservative economic policies are what’s required. But Donald has no clue what they are. He proposes more of the same - only more and bigger. He said the economy does better under democrats and spoke highly of Obama’s team and leadership.

Not the right guy for the economy.

I’m not changing my mind! Donald will take the government control yoke off the American entrepreneur. That is all that is needed.

>>"I’m not changing my mind!"

Yes, you have definitely convinced me of that.

You have great faith in the Great Leader. Examining his plans, knowledge and capability, exercising critical thinking - to even think for oneself - risks questioning him. That must not be allowed.

"I do not say that there is a frequent use of tyranny in America at the present day; but I maintain that there is no sure barrier against it, and that the causes which mitigate the government there are to be found in the circumstances and the manners of the country more than in its laws."
-DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA, Alexis DeTocqueville 1835
