Well, a persona built around "hope and change" didn't work so well, nor do I think one built around "what difference does it make" will, either.
I'm willing to try another tack, personally-even from a man who is out to benefit himself-as long as all the Marxist Quislings are expunged from DC.

Personally i like Donald Trump; however I think that if he is elected president he would be a foreign relations nightmare. He has great ideas for our economy and he speaks his mind but you can clearly see in each of the debates that he shows no tact when it comes to the criticism of other candidates and if he takes that attitude to the world stage he would be very polarizing, there would be no "I agree with him sort of.." I believe that he would make a great Secretary of the Treasury or Secretary of Commerce

As for the original topic i truly believe that every American who has gone through the process to obtain a concealed weapon permit should carry at all times that it is legally possible to. CCW is truly a great crime deterrent with proven results time and time again.

You made me laugh. This is what politics is all about in this country, telling the sheeple what they want to hear in order to get elected. Given the current field of idiots I'll take the loudmouth asshole over the corrupt bitch and scumbag socialist every day.

Doesn't really matter, we're (America) headed the way of the dodo. Everything this country was founded on is under attack and we just continue to look the other way.

We're following be right behind Europe in their rapid descent into chaos . Shouldn't take but a few more years in America if a left-wing/socialist takes office again.

But there are so many that need firing its a good thing he's got so used to saying it!

He states the obvious, the left hates him for it, and so-called conservatives belittle him.

He'll probably win...

On the November 22 airing of This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump doubled down on his defense of the Second Amendment and said an armed citizenry could have prevented the “horror show” in Paris.

Big difference between the two, one is a community agitator with zero experience in anything and the other is someone who has at least been successful in running his businesses.

I'll never vote for hitlery.

His threats to run as an Independent were there to keep the Republican powers that be from playing dirty tricks to force him out of the election early (look at the Dem primaries for some good examples of dirty tricks political parties can play to do this.) A lot of the establishment on both sides don't want him in power; as he has mentioned before, he as a politician has too much money to be bought.

FWIW, I tend to use the 2nd amendment as a litmus test to see if politicians are actually serious about their convictions of protecting my rights (if they want to take that away, what other rights are they planning on taking away once I don't have a means to protect my rights?)

Trump has, through his actions, statements, and whitepapers on his website convinced me that he is the most serious candidate that will protect my 2nd amendment rights. If he manages to do the same thing regards to the 4th amendment rights of people, he will get a large number of swing votes and might just win the whole election.

Also consider that he has essentially locked in the votes of 13 million CCW voters. Across the entire cross-section of CCW holders I know, most are remarkably reliable single-issue voters when it comes to that issue above all else. The chance of getting a president interested in protecting gun rights is too good for many to pass up.

Also, if Trump wins with a gun rights platform, the Dems just might finally take the hint that gun bans need to be taken off the table, forever.
