No, I don't work for Trump's campaign. I am an ordinary American who supports him who is tired of bought and paid for career politicians.

And I will add this. If Trump is not nominated, and by some miracle Bernie is nominated, then I would vote for him over any of the other GOP candidates. Failing that, I will vote 3rd party as I would never vote for Hillary Clinton.
I too support Bernie, and if he is not the Democratic nominee, I will also vote for a third party candidate before I vote for Hillary Clinton. Probably Jill Stein.

The beauty of Trump pummeling the others in the race for the nomination is that he is a political outsider and it shows the conservative base is sick of politics as usual. While not agreeing with Trump on 90% of what he says, I am glad to know that people on both sides of the aisle are sick of the status quo and want change in Washington.

It would not be the first or last time someone running for office lies. Trump only cares for Trump. He is part of the 1%. He is not gonna suddenldy change his behavior and give up his power position to help the masses he has never cared to help in the first place

Most of our great leaders have spent a majority of their lives in public service.
Their lives have been devoted to principles and values and service to their community.


Trump has focused on one thing only, the Trump brand.
I am unaware of anything he has done for the greater good rather than for himself.

Correct. And also applies to the 'drive by' posters in this forum.

I'm sorry. I was under the impression that the election was 10 months away. Also under the impression that the nominees have not been selected yet. There are still people talking about running as Independents. We've had some debates, but there have been no presidential debates.

I fail to see why it is so difficult to understand that some people want to hear what all of the candidates have to say, who the candidates in November will be and what associated and external factors may affect the country, before deciding for whom they are going to vote.

The election is November 8. That is quite some time from now. It sounds like you think a rush to judgment makes more sense than weighing all the factors, or as if there is something wrong with making a decision after having a lot more knowledge. Since when is making an educated decision the wrong thing to do?

People have at least some idea who they are going to vote for by now.

b s. It's all about pay grades and bennies. City job, county job, state job is stressed and repeated dinner table talk in the well-remunerated progressive-left dependent class.

What Howie Carr calls the "Dreaded Private Sector" is the stuff of nightmares for those families.
