Why I will vote for Mr. Trump....

Trump said recently of his GOP opponents, “Hey they can make fun of me if they want. They can belittle me if they want. They can badmouth me all they want, but they can’t change the facts. The truth is what it is –It’s they who made broken promise after broken promise. They have failed and continue to fail to stop the far left, communist wrecking ball that has almost killed the country. If you want American to be great again vote for me. I will make American great again. You want more political smoke blown up your ass? Vote for one of them.”

Political correctness versus no PC...
Open borders versus a big ass fence with a real nice door...
He pays for his own election costs...
Veterans and military become priority...
Traditional lobbyists can suck a...
Make America great again...
ISIS et al finally get what they have long deserved...
Mexico pays for a wall...
No need for Air Force 1...Trump's got his own jet !

Trump and Cruz have an event planned against Obama's proposed nuclear agreement with Iran.

Trump has arguably energized an otherwise lethargic GOP.

I'm with you for exactly the same reason. Ted Cruz has said it repeatedly, the voter gave the Right the House in '12, then the Senate in '14, but not a f#$king thing has changed.

Trump is more Progressive than I'd like, but one thing is for sure, he is NOT the career politician (both sides of the aisle) that has DESTROYED our once great Nation, so I for one am more than ready for something completely different, and right now Trump is as different as you can vote for.

I want his campaign to come out with a deck of Trump cards.

I know he is full of crap on things like the 14th Amendment and building a wall, but about everything else he is running on resonates with me. I loved what he said yesterday when the reporter was trying to bait him into the Virginia shootings were a gun control issue. IMHO he is better when he just cuts to the chase and doesn't posture.

He is right about the 14th amendment. From the Senator who presented it to the senate:

I'm generally for Trump. One thing gives me pause. His position on taxes. He on record for increasing taxes on people like him. This is a proven losing strategy.

His position would be much stronger, and supported by most of the populous, if he abolished the irs and instituted a flat sales tax or the fair tax and declawed the irs.

I fear people are conflating Trump's reality TV 'openess' and business acumen with his suitabilty for POTUS.

I remember when my brother, a rancher, was going through tough times and considered declaring bankruptcy. My Dad took him outside and told him that 'we' don't do that - we pay our bills and if he did that he would be disowned. My brother figured it out and paid the bills, but he got out of farming.

As for Mr Trump... http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donal...ry?id=13419250

I'll wait for the ballot to see who I vote for or against.

At present the suitable qualifications for POTUS are that of a drug addict....lying, cheating, stealing and self prostitution.

Last time I looked at the Constitution, that wasn't the case.

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

As has been posted here on this board and elsewhere on social media, "What we need is a CEO, NOT a politician." I tending to lean in that direction.

The link that you posted is more than four years old and was brought up at the last debate ...

His response ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCydILh7rOQ

HE himself hasn't ever gone bankrupt or filed for bankruptcy, only on four occasions has his company had to file bankruptcy on four separate projects.

I'm still not totally in his camp, nor anyone else's at this point, but I will say honestly, I do like the direction he is going and what he is saying. We still have a long way to go before election day.
