So why do you support Trump?

[IronFist]

Seriously, why?
Do you support him because he is the leading GOP candidate? Or maybe because you like his policies?
As for me I support him mostly because he says the truth about illegal immigration and he isn't afraid of talking about real problems. He is also a good showman. A bad politician, though but he started his career not so long ago so it doesn't matter much.

why is it anyone's business? why do any of you support who you support?
good grief.

 

[Bonzi]

I wonder how much reading people do and research?
I will admit that I don't..... I will read stuff on the internet, the newspaper occasionally and I only watch news at 11pm unless I am in the gym, then I get my fill of FOX and MSNBC...

I support his immigration policy,for the most part his jobs/economy plan. He is the ONLY GOP candidate I would vote for just like Bernie Sanders is ONLY Democrat candidate I would vote for.

Very simple. He's NOT a professional politician. And, he says what others are afraid to say.

I like Trump , like his big mouth or straight talk rather than PC and pandering like 'jebito' and other 'rinos' . I don't care if he is 'conservative' if the 'bush' family is the yardstick by which Conservativeness is measured . To me , Trump sounds American . I think that he is an America First kind of guy which is much better than a one world it takes a village , big tent type like 'jebito' and other rinos . I've heard Trump called a nativist and a nationalist and if I understand those words definition I have no problem with those descriptions .

But if you think about it, all business tycoons ARE professional politicians in their own realm and fields....they would not be at the top if they were not imo. Even better at it, than DC politicians....and this is what seems to frighten the established republican party and maybe even the democratic party, about the Donald.

I don't,but I love that he has the good old boys from both sides and the media all butt hurt,its refreshing.

Trump is just beating the GOP at the political game....
The first debate, he made certain he was remembered with the Meghan Kelly controversy so it put FOX on warning so to say, and he cut the Gop's power short, by implying he would run as an independent if the Republican Party didn't support him as the presidential candidate....he politically out maneuvered them right up front by saying, you the Republican Party will have a guaranteed loss if I have to go and run as an Independent, he's making the right ''political'' moves to keep his candidacy alive and well...

In his case, he IS the 'package' and IS the 'buyer'....
