Of the candidates left in the Republican field, I think I do like Trump the best and agree with a lot of what Chris Christie is saying about having an outsider from Washington DC come in to shake things up. Trump seems to be very against some of the trade deals that are hurting our economy and the tax inversions taking place when companies move overseas, and I'm hoping he has a substantive solution for what he plans to do about that. I don't expect him to lay out the groundwork now, considering his campaign is moving along comfortably without going into details. But if some of his ideas he is laying out he can expand upon against Hillary Clinton in the General, I may very well vote for Trump as some of his positions go far beyond the Democrats. Both parties are beholden to their interests and are comfortable with the status quo, and I'd love to see someone like Trump come in and shake things up, and force the parties to have to operate differently going forth in regards to communicating with the American people and coming back down to our level.
Increasingly more and more liking the Donald, but I won't vote for him unless he provides some substance behind his ideas in the general. Otherwise, he's all talk.
All in all, great press conference. I've always had a soft spot for Christie though I disagree with him on quite a bit, but you can't deny how he commands attention in the room. He may even make a great running mate for Donald.
