There is no separation in the Republican primary, which personally I feel is the dumbest thing Republicans ever do..

In fact the smartest thing I ever heard any Candidate say about it was Trump when he stated

"I will protect YOUR 1st Amendment right to worship as YOU want to" emphasis his

I agree 100%. This has always been an issue with them taking stances on such personal matters. They alienate a lot of people. I have to be offended when they tell me what to think about these issues. Trump will face an uphill battle for the rest of this process. I think his support will increase as he goes. Old habits die hard. We are seeing the rats on a sinking ship fighting for higher ground. If he wins the nomination he beats Clinton running away.

Would have been so much smarter had he demonstrated knowledge that the 1st Amendment is the protection. I'm assuming he meant that he would protect the 1st amendment. But if he can't even say it, how does he propose to do it.

Again you are speaking with very high ideals and technically accurate statements... as those protections are slowly destroyed each day...

Trump is speaking with words that relate instantaneously to a majority of the populous which is why he is winning right now..


This just popped up an was a pretty good read

Edit:

I also noted that you have stated quite emphatically who you are not voting for in your primaries, and I have also deduced that any of the Ceasers, will not get your vote this year ..

BUT

Besides taking swipes at the candidates and their supporters you have yet to say who earns your vote ???

I suppose I do have high ideals, shame on me?? But someone earlier in the thread proposed that we find out where we went wrong, how do we fix this, etc. Maybe raising our ideals a bit is a good start. Oh, BTW, I haven't taken a single swipe at any supporter of any candidate, unless someone maybe feels swiped at by association. But candidates are perfectly swipeable, that's part of the price for taking a public stage. Goes with the territory. Honestly, none of the current candidates really meet my standard. Rubio and Cruz come the closest, but I've found disappointment with both. I just can't get behind Trump. He's a red flag, to me anyways.

Anti-establishment, Anti-lifetime polotician, Plain speaking. Define the problem. State a high price, negotiate the best possible outcome.
No candidate is perfect. Who is the lesser of the evils.
I have stated that voting is a peaceful mans way to change.
When this option fails,the next step as history has demonstrated is an uprising.
Would Americans open fire on fellow Americans over a point of view, stance? Civil War.
History has shown that this is an option.
If I gave you a $50 gold dollar. No one wants to give you the value of gold. They may give you the face value in food & gas.
Greed and corruption has devalued our country to a point that common values are not upheld.
If our country continues to dilute its common core values by importing people who reject our value system, we cease to be a country simply because WE are no longer America.
A stop gap measure must be installed.
Have any of you men ever taken your family to a store( mall,movies,ect,) and you were the only white person there?
Did you sense you were out of place? Did you get stares from the other ethnicity that you dont belong here.
I have, multiple times. Arabic areas. All black neighborhoods, Asian markets and malls.Hispanic markets, constuction crews where only the boss speaks broken english. I am all for assimilating others into our melting pot. When the pot says I am no longer welcome in my country that troubles me. I vote for lets get Americas house in order before importing more people who are rocking our dingy of a lifeboat. The masses need to realize we are at maximum density. twas the straw that broke the camels back. The camel is groaning under its load presently.

I agree here 110% the candidate that represented me the most, I never got a chance to vote for, mostly because he kept talking above everybody's head and could not express his thoughts to the common man

I have 4 choices I am ok with Trump or Cruz but as I said earlier, Cruz is a little too Religiously Conservative for my taste, so I will vote for Trump tomorrow..

Rubio is no longer on my radar..

Trump may win the nomination and the presidency. I hope I am wrong and you are right about him.

May I introduce the two candidates as I see them?

I remember my first election in 1976. Jimmy Carter vs Ronald Regan. He was viewed as anti establishment at the time and also when he won in 1980. The anxiety of the voters was high. Rumor was the first thing he would do is press the button and start WW3. Economic failure was certain. Foreign relations gone. An actor that won the governorship in liberal California President never happen. Well I was so uncertain and I know I did'nt want any part of the other stuff. So Jimmy Carter got my vote and the rest is history. And no I am not comparing Trump to Regan. We should be so lucky.
