I like just about everything DT talks about, most are my beliefs also. I don't like watching him speak/debate in person. I don't care for his behavior or gestures while speaking but I do belief in his ideas. I want to take a chance on him, just like my wife, for better or worse. MY FEAR: DT is a businessman & good at it. I hope this is not some elaborate scheme to get the B***H in the white house. If & when he gets to the election, all that would have to be done is say the wrong things a time or two & presto "PRESIDENT [bleep]". We in Texas know about saying the wrong things politically, Clayton Williams?

My thought it that he is who we all think he is. He's "The Donald". This man is not an unknown quantity.
That's also my fear.

I agree that he's brought some much needed dialogue to center stage
Strongest on my views on illegal immigration
Strongest on my beliefs on free trade ( so far the only free is what other countries get)
Worries me greatly on his views on the role of gov't as pertaining to our constitution
Worries me on sc nominations
Worries me some on 2nd amendment
Greatly troubles me his previous & still current relationships with high ranking dems
Greatly troubles me his demeanor & delivery ( I just flat don't like or trust him). Too much used car salesman for my tastes
Like what I see of his family ( that speaks favorably to me)
Nothing about him troubles me as greatly as it does to think of that lying bitch of Benghazi as my president
I'll hold my nose & vote for him. But I won't like it
As,truth in advertising Reagan concerned me for different reasons and imo he was the best prez of my lifetime
If trump is elected nothing would make me happier than to find my misgivings of him were unwarranted

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I share generally the same thoughts and concerns, Randy.
I'd like to be buddies with some of the guys here who win as often as they obviously must, in Vegas. (If they're actually betting on this guy in spite of being as generally unlucky as the average Joe is in Vegas, then I feel very sorry for them ....and us.)

I think his greatest strength is he is "The Donald." Noting wrong with making the US a winner again. Sure he has lost a few but time and time again he comes out on top. I believe he will help bring our jobs home, he will see to it we get fair equitable trade agreements and let the countries we protect help pay for their protection. He will see to it the government does what it's supposed to do. Protect us and help create opportunity to achieve the American dream. I have never before been as excited with the potential of any candidate ever as I am for Donald Trump.

This link has a revealing video clip on February 27: https://www.facebook.com/ReignitingThePromise/?fref=nf(Yes, it's a Cruz-backing page; "Reigniting the Promise", and I don't post it in support of Cruz, but rather to pull back the curtain just a bit.)

I see him as insurance for the Clintons to regain the White House and the Dems the Senate. My great hope is that I am dead wrong, but I honestly believe I'm correct. I can make crow taste pretty good.

I think if DT doesn't flip flop & stab us in the back to get the slut in office, & he goes on to win the election, I believe he will make a good president. He will appoint/hire the right people to get the job done whatever it is. That's what great businessmen do. I hope I'm right. I would love someday to be able to tell my grand children, the two best presidents I've ever seen were Reagan & Trump!

I can make crow taste pretty good. Here's what could easily happen (which I think you allude to): Hillary's backers (and Bernie's) are petrified of Trump. So, too, are many who don't want Hillary - nor Trump. The latter group might very easily be too disenfranchised to bother with the effort of showing up even to support the proper Congress-critters. If Hillary's backers get out the vote, they might easily push her through, and worse, they might easily punch out several new seats in Congress. Then we'll be nothing but a fractured, broken party, out of power in any form, and unable to recover in the midterm. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I certainly wish we weren't faced with such a huge gamble. I really don't trust Trump's 49% of 50% (Republicans) being able to carve a victory when it becomes 25% of 100% (the whole population).

Things are so badly broken and it seems he's the only man that has the bslls to fix it..... Yeah, just about everything Donald has touched as turned to sh-it, really. Trump Air, Trump Vodka, Trump U, his marriages, multiple bankruptcies (in which he stiffed small business men and ordinary Americans for millions), Trump mortgage, Trump magazine, GoTrump, Trump the Game, Trump Steaks, Trump Entertainment Resorts, Trump Chicago---colossal failures, every single one. His net worth is a fraction of what he claims it is and it change daily based on "how [he] feels" (no kidding, he actually said that.) There's a damn good reason he won't release his tax returns. His business acumen is so bad that he has actually underperformed the S&P 500 since he got his $400 million inheritance. The greatest myth in political history is that Donald Trump is a good businessman. Quite the opposite. You can search his entire record and you won't find a single statement indicative of fealty to liberty or limited government. Quite the opposite: praised Barry for the auto bailout, praised him for the Stimulus, said Barry should nationalize the banks, praised Harry Reid during the fight over O-care and shoveled money to Reid and Rahm Immanuel, harshly criticized Romney for being to mean when Romney said in 2007 he would deport illegals. Trump is the biggest fraud in politics. He's playing the low IQ/low information crowd like a Stradivarius.

I can make crow taste pretty good. I agree. From day one I've considered Trump to be intentionally dividing the Republican party. How can you trust someone who has verbally and financially supported the Clintons in the past? His winning the nomination could be the final nail in the coffin. Praying that I get to say, "Pass the crow please."

The GOP doesn't even half ass it when it comes to forfeiting legislative control. They don't half ass it when it comes to getting elected....

Jim D Try "Clayton Williams". I corrected in case any of our Yankee friends tried to google it. My suspicion is that Trump does not want to be President. My fear is that I'm wrong about that.
