Trump is doing exactly what Obama did when he was campaigning and if it works and Trump is elected, we will experience the same leadership from Trump that we have from Obama.
What other candidates (Democrat or Republican) are offering detailed specifics, and can you present some of them here?

Hate is harmful to the soul. However, if you are going to "hate" anyone, then "hate" terrorists, murderers and other evil people.

Then don't vote for Obama.
What? He's not running?………… never mind.

Trump is spending his money, not the money of Washington insiders. Hillary, insider money, special interest money and the Clinton Foundation also stinks to high heaven.

Hillary is very rich but because being rich is not popular amongst the base she has attempted to hide her wealth, Trump is also very rich but despite it's unpopularity among the left's base he is honest and tells the truth.

Hillary is all Washington deception, spin and hiding, Trump is put it out there like it or not.

One of my favorites about Trump is his attack on the Democrat playbook. Early on Democrats were trying to use the attacks on being rich twice with Hillary claiming "we were broke", it was pathetic pandering. Trump kicked that playbook in the garbage and said "I am very, very rich".

oh ooo Dems... LOL

This time we supposedly know that we have a candidate that wants to put legal Americans first. We have been in the back seat to special interest fighting for cheap labor for the last few decades. Our unions have been destroyed in the private sector and they have flourished in the civil service sector. Nobody speaks for the working class (as much as the Democrats, long ago, were known for that). Heck, until it becomes a major problem, nobody even knows that we have homeless in our Country - they have taken back seat to the immigrants. We know we cannot trust our government on our unemployment figures because they have dropped so many from the rolls. Any way we are fast becoming a nation where temporary work is the norm instead of just a distant possibility.


If people worry about their jobs and the future of our Nation; we need to vote for change. We only have three candidates that are relatively 'free' of special interest. Only one of those three is in striking distance of the Presidency. I am a registered Independent, and if it looked like a close horse race in the primaries, I would be willing to register Republican just to give him a better chance.
You got it!

Reminds me of Obama's campaign to be honest.

Why? Because too many conservatives just don't know how to give up on Obama. They love him too much to ever quit hating on him. Or vice versa. Either way is just as addicting as the other to them.
