Where as the republican party as of yesterday has 16 candidates most w/o a chance in hell to be elected sniping at each other while all the dems have to do is focus on he top 2 or 3 and let the repubs take down the rest.
I am a staunch right wing libertarian . military veteran and oathkeeper . Surprised? In my close to 60 years on Gods earth i have seen presidents go from military veterans (most w/ some morals ) To law school graduated pretty boys that are more worried about the almighty dollar and how to get re elected than they are about you or me or the people of the USA.
the die was cast long ago to get control of the voting majority by getting them to be slaves to the new master. the government. right now they are about 50%. we saw it in both of the last 2 elections elections that they spread the fear that if we elect a republican that they will loose all there benefits. It worked then and it will work again as there more sheeple than there are of us that know what is going on and care enough to fight it. You can rally around and vote for who you want ( i know i will ) but as a student of politics IMHO the die has been cast and the nominees have already been decided. I hope and pray that i am wrong. But i haven't been in a long while.

I haven't been paying close attention to everything Trump has said, so is it true he wants to build a wall along the border to secure it?

not only that but he said he would shut down all trade with mexico into the united states until mexico built the wall at their expense and secured the border from their side and if they didn't want to do that, then he would cut all ties and trade with mexico permanently.

I do agree with him this isn't an American problem, its a Mexican problem from not securing the borders and actually encouraging illegals to cross into the united states.

the immigration problem is just like the drug problem in that you cant stop illegal drugs as long as there is a big demand for them and likewise you cant stop illegal border crossings unless both sides of the border are working equally hard to stop it. the US cannot secure the border by itself, mexico must actively help to secure it from their side too.

I'm sure that's going to work well. Then what's he going to do, load all 11 million illegals that are in the country right now on buses and take them back to Mexico?

Work for the candidate you think is best, but in the end support the nominee, we can't afford to elect another dem right now. Bush isn't what we need, but he is a dam lot better than the Wouldn't you feel better about the country now if Romney had been elected? No doubt! I like Trump, and am getting an *** full of the Fox News folks that call him a clown and side show. I understand it from the other news outlets, but Fox is beginning to piss me off more and more. Too many ex-bushi and establishment elitist on there ! An by all means, let's keep a positive attitude and believe we can beat the not give up like the guy quoted above!

Donald Trump has no intention on cutting spending. He is a big government guy. His justification is "make the country rich" so that we can afford big spending. As a fiscal and social conservative, the only way D. Trump gets my vote is for damage control sake. He would be alot better than H. Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Personally, Ben Carson is who I support. The thought of Jeb Bush getting the nomination makes my stomach turn, but I think it is a greater than 50% chance that it happens, unfortunately.

Making money and managing it go hand in hand, ain't no shame in having someone that chases the wealth and prosperity of the country as a whole - whether it be through cutting spending, or increasing the inflow, or both.
