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.
Well said and exactly correct sir.

Honest answer, I don't have a favorite. I do have a few that I think should just get out before they spoil the well. Bush, Huckabee, Christie, Santorum, Jindal, and the biggest bozo Graham! I believe Huckabee, Christie, Santorum and Graham will be the biggest violators of RR's 11th commandment, while bush will sit by and let everyone else hammer each other. I believe Santorum and Christie did as much to hurt Romney as any democrat or media outlet. Neither should be considered as they didn't put it out there to get obama out. I like Dr Carson, Carley isn't afraid to have a cat fight with the Walker has beat the crap out of the dems and unions 3 or 4 times. Ted seems to be a true believer in the founding principles. Paul ?? Marco? Too young? Plus he **** himself with the imagination crap, I don't think he can dig out from that and be the nominee just yet, VP maybe? I'm just not sure yet. But I promise I will put what cash I can spare and do whatever I can to get one of these guys in. I would love to see these guys get together and do what's best for the country, not what's best for themselves. Maybe put together a cabinet, not just pick a running mate, let the country see the entire team and real policies and plans to get things back on track. They need to stay away from the imagination trap, just run on securing the border! Looks like Mr Trump hit a nerve with a big portion of the electorate with that? ,

Wow phone call on my spelling already. Immigration not imagination. But I know all you guys knew what I meant, the friend that called me is a democrat. Been working on him a long time, but he comes from a long line of dems, so it's a real challenge. You go brother oath keeper. I pray a lot too. GOD bless America! Locked and loaded, steadfast and loyal.

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?

IDK but I like the idea. Hell we'll get Mexicans to build it. Just make sure they work from the south side of the wall

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?

If he thought it was doable he would. but you can bet your butt that there would be no release of any illegal aliens that are charged w/ a crime.

There would be a hole every quarter mile in that wall, and that wouldn't matter because there are already tunnels and would be even more.

Tunnels are very easy to find IF they WANT to find them . GPR can be towed behind a 4wd and cover many miles of border in a day. they can build a triple fence on the border like the new prisons have . 3 - 16 ' fences and the middle one is charged w/ high voltage .

I'm watching Trump with a lot of interest. When he first got in the running, I thought he was a joke....but after hearing his passion, I'm really starting to wonder if he is the one that can turn this country around and get back to the constitution and rule of law. He is starting to remind me of the rich men of our forefathers who loved country more than their wealth and risked all to have a free country. I think the article above nails it good. The media makes Trump sound like an idiot, but they are only trying to deflect and change the story. He is only speaking what most regular Americans are asking. I really think he should start running as an independent so that the media cannot pigeon hole him as one of many crazy republicans. If he runs as an independent and starts trying to get blue collar democrats (there's a lot out there), conservative republicans, independents, and libertarians. We may be seeing history in the making, and a guy that I never liked much, may be seen 100 years from now as one of the Great Americans in History.

I'd like to hear other things from Trump like how he intends to cut spending or his foreign policy ideas. Securing the border sounds good and it's easy to get on that bandwagon, but I don't think our country can realistically afford to do it with the massive amounts of debt we have right now.

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.

Our founding fathers were staunch business men, and we wouldn't be the country we are today if it weren't for them being driven by the need and know how how to make money.

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.

There is no doubt that D. Trump would do great things for this country in terms of economic growth and foreign trade, etc.. My point was that just because he is running as a Republican candidate doesn't mean he is conservative. My personal belief supports the notion that government is best when it is limited. Donald Trump's philosophy is quite different. With that said, he would be better than Jeb Bush, or any other establishment candidate in the running.
