But I've been really torn about which one to side with tomorrow. What finally tipped the balance is this:
The liberal media and GOP Establishment don't care for one candidate. They see him as dangerous and have tried to bring him down. But the OTHER candidate drives them absolutely bats^#t crazy, and has made them absolutely lose their minds, like nobody else has. The first candidate, of course, is Cruz. The second is Trump.

So its settled then: I'm going with Trump.

Cruz is toxic- Trump is at least more transparent

He is a clown, to be sure. But he's our clown! A fighter and a doer.
I can't dispute that. They're all flawed. But somehow when you said this I thought of Killer clowns from outer space. Not really a jab, just free association...

Kinda like the City Council woman here, that is getting recall voted out by her district. She thought it was her will and her power and not what her constituents wanted.

She says, It was just one thing...... Lady, that is all it takes.

I don't understand. Are you saying that Trump is strong and inflexible?

I'm sure you don't want to understand what Trump means, when he says, "I'm flexible", after showing his flip-flopped stance on practically every issue.

The Bait & Switch sales.......
There are victims everyday.

Coincidence? I don't think so...........
he sells himself as the outsider, who understands how the system operates.

he also understands that the direction we are headed is not the direction we want to go, and he is using his OWN money to try and address that. That shows me that he understands one of the biggest problems, which is BRIBERY in government, and is addressing it even before he is elected.

i don't see that from any other candidate, especially not clinton.

:the media has been helpful" part is ridiculous, as BOTH sides come down hard on him, whether it is faux conservatives or liberal media talking about just how dangerous he is, and how his followers are either stupid, brown shirts, or mean spirited. the media says that the uneducated are the primary voting bloc for trump, when actually the voters seem to be patriotic, law abiding, job oriented, business minded, and civic responsibility types .

Thanks for clearing that up. If I didn't want to understand, I wouldn't ask questions...

That's not entirely true. He partially funds his own campaign, but also profits from it due to his business diversity. 25% of his expenditures go to companies he owns. He does also take contributions. Considering how little he has spent, the money coming back, and the trinket marketing, he'll make money on the deal. Just like he predicted.
