If you want to keep Hillary out of the Oval Office, does the fact that he donated to her last presidential run concern you at all? How effective will he be at combating Hillary when just 8 years ago he was a huge supporter of hers? I have hated the Clintons since "Ending Welfare as we know it", and this hate has gotten deeper over time.
Hating the Clintons doesn't answer the question. If you loathe Hillary, ask yourself is Trump the best to make a case against her? Whenever he disagrees with one of her policy proposals, all she has to do is respond with "Well I had the same position back in '08 and you seemed to be OK with it because you donated truckloads of money to my campaign."
If you think the Washington establishment no longer cares about the little guy, does the fact that Trump tried to use eminent domain laws to force a little old lady out of her property so he could build a limousine parking lot? They no longer know that the little guy exists, because they have the power to ignore us, and they use it.
Doesn't answer the concerns about Trump's actions? Do you think the born into wealth, billionaire, east coast elitist, reality TV star, donor class Trump knows anything about the "little guy" other than how to pander to him? Does the fact he's shown over and over he's not above screwing the little guy to get his way concern you?
If you value candidates who aren’t delusional, does the fact that Trump was the poster boy for the birther movement bother you? A bit, But Obama is such a Prick it does not bother me much
Its not about what you think about Obama. Its what being a vocal birther says about Trump's judgement. At best Trump cynically attached himself to a movement he knew was a total lie and based on delusional conspiracy theories. At worst, he genuinely believes it.
If you want to get rid of the GOP establishment, does the fact that Trump has donated to and supported numerous GOP establishment figures (like Mitt Romney and John McCain. If would’ve been nice if Trump would’ve told us what losers and chokers they were before he decided to endorse both of them) He was doing business under the rules of the time, playing the game as it existed at the time. Of course this does not bother me, that so many establishment hacks think that it might bother Trump supporters just goes to show how stupid they are.
How is it stupid to question how Trump "played the game" for decades and only now suddenly is disgusted by it and vows to clean it up? And in the case of McCain and Romney, he's clearly playing Monday morning quarterback. He endorsed both of them fully and only now comes out and tells us what losers they are? Its easy to be right after the fact.
If you thought Obama ran an empty, substance free campaign on Hope and Change, does Trump’s refusal or inability to give any specific policy proposals that aren’t rendered meaningless by common sense (Mexico is going to pay for the wall) or basic math (we will save 300 million by negotiating better prices on prescription drugs when medicare spends 78 million currently on said drugs) annoy you at all? Does the fact that he turns every question into either a) an insult against his opponents 2) talk about his poll numbers 3) mentioning how “great” he is and how much “winning” he’s going to do ever make you wonder if he has anything of substance to say? I which that Trump would have more of an agenda . He needs to take care of this in the general,and I am sure that he will
That's a big leap of faith. He's been running for how long and has yet to offer any substantial policy that isn't completely implausible or rendered impossible by basic math? Shouldn't he take care of this now, since he's asking for our votes now? I'm not going to back a guy who makes vague promises about being "great" and "winning" but can't give me any specifics.
Does the fact that he railed about China when asked about the TPP even though China is not included in the pact concern you? Not yet, but it will if he keeps it up.
How long does he have to keep getting basic things wrong before it becomes a concern? Me, I personally like leaders who actually know what they are talking about and several times this campaign season Trump has shown to have little to no grasp of the issues.
