Change IS needed.
Change just for the sake of change without seriously examining who is offering you change is just folly.
Ask yourselves if Trump is really interested in the good of the country or is he a con man who is saying what people want to hear to stoke his own narcissism?
This "non-establishment rebel", you are supporting is someone who has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clinton foundation, was in support of universal healthcare and favored a ban on assault weapons. His positions in the past were FAR more liberal.
I agree that we do need to start electing outsiders but not this joke.
He was a businessman. Trump supported McCain and Romney . If Romney went after Obama like he is going after Trump he would be the president today. Romney is fighting against the power of WE THE PEOPLE.
As far as I see it - Trump is the only one who has a chance against Hillary at this moment - no other Republican can command the attendees he does. That said - I wish the whole lot were thrown out and we had new candidates that actually represented the American people and not their own parties and pocketbooks - but that ain't gonna happen.
Polls are skewed and I often laugh as we've never gotten a election polling call. We are a diverse family - one Republican, one registered Republican who is actually Libertarian and myself a Democrat. So just who are these people they are polling who are suppose to represent the rest of us?
I'm done with Obama policies - tell me truthfully what Hillary is going to do differently than Obama? Of course now she's adapting to Bernie's plans because she's losing ground but will back flip when she needs to. What does Hillary offer me and how can I trust her when she repeatedly lies.
I've asked this question before and no one has given me any answers - you all are quick to point out all of Trump's mistakes and foolish policies per you - but have not given arguments of why Hillary can do a better job or if she'd tackle the situation at all.
So we just might see over 8 years : the stock market triple, the deficit cut in half, our Mideast commitment reduced, the economy continue to grow, millions more gain health insurance, the rate of illegal immigration shrink to it's lowest level in nearly a decade.......
We'd probably see more of those types of things. Good things. Ya know....factual things.
And for this we'll hear screams of communist! traitor! sexist! anti-American! .. the yews we've come to expect from our friends on the right.
I think Woodfin would look great in a Trump University sweatshirt. She has bought every DNC talking point hook, line, and sinker--making her a prime mark for TU.

It's more a case of the lesser (by far) of two evils.
I'm no Hillary fan but at least she bothers to understand the issues and isn't enough of a narcissist to say that her top foreign policy adviser is herself!
We know what we are getting with Hillary. More of the same basically.
With Trump, the question becomes can our country survive a narcissist who has no clue about the issues he seeks to influence as leader of the free world and no inclination to bother to learn them.
Can our country survive that without irreperable damage? Were the checks and balances that the founding fathers built in enough to limit the damage?
I'm not anxious to find out.
The best option for you would be to support whoever emerges from a brokered convention, so long as this person is not Cruz. He is as un-electable as Trump. Your best option back in November was to use the Buckley rule and support the most conservative, electable candidate. At one point you had 17 to pick from.
That isn't an answer to the question. (as I predicted)
You must have someone in mind for the scared Trump supporter to support?
The truth is, ALL of them pretty much suck this time around ! That is why Trump is enjoying the popularity he is having............no one else looks like a viable alternative to some people, and those people want change. Not one of the current candidates are super stars IMO. What an uninspiring lot they are.
There is no denying, Trump is certifiable, he is vulgar, not that bright, and ill equipped to run a country as diverse and complicated as America. Sure, he has made some money in real estate, big deal, but that in no way qualifies him to be President. I think we are seeing mini-Hitler in the making, and that part is scary.
I don't think the Trumpies are running scared........yet. They have gotten on this horse and are going to ride it to the end. They are so blinded by hatred and anger that they feel a man like Trump is going to stick it in the faces of conventional / traditional politicians and effect some sort of positive change.
Me, I am going to sit back with a cold Corona and watch this thing unfold. This circus of an election is certainly more entertaining than any of the usual reality shows on TV, and Saturday Night Live will have material to last them the rest of 2016, and maybe beyond.
