I have plenty of contempt for the candidate, DC. That's what I'm talking about. And that's exactly what I've been focusing on here.

Trump's lack of character.

Sorry if you were insulted by the "cheerleader" comment. It seems that it's exactly what's going on here.

There are a lot of really nasty things being said about those of us who don't like Trump, so be careful that you try to see things with both eyes open. I've been very gentle with the people I respect........... like you, alice, katz............ I respect you all a lot.

Even if you do carry pom poms around with you.

I looked into Trump because someone whose politics I agreed with was a big Trump booster. Initially I laughed and dismissed the news of Trump running. After I got to know more about the man's strengths, his positives, I started giving serious consideration to his candidacy.

I'm now at the point where I view him as the only one with the hutzpah to bust up the DC syndicate and get the job done.

Cruz is the constitutional conservative I like, but I question whether he can get passed the general election. Judgment call.

Incidentally, I looked into all the candidates and I have at various times spoken well of (almost) each of them.

If I had any doubt that Trump doesn't love this country and earnestly want to make it the great nation it once was, I would not support him. He will most assuredly do things I won't like, but I believe that the net effect of his leadership will restore our strength and turn our economy around.

This idea that he is helping Hillary doesn't match his calling her and Bill out in a way that no "regular" politician has the courage to do. He's not afraid of her and he's not taking a year out of his cushy life to help her.

The idea that he's just in it "for him" doesn't ring true to me either - it's not like he's hard up for money to maintain his lavish lifestyle. He's doing a pretty good job of that without having to run for president.

He's crude, although I think he is mellowing on that as time goes on.

I've not seen him lose his temper at the debates, in fact, he usually stands back and lets the others duke it out with each other.

A lot of people are supporting him and have not wavered since he started running - that is passionate support - and that is what every candidate wants. That translates into votes.

His appeal crosses over to moderate Democrats, blue-collar Democrats, low-info reality show audiences, blacks and a lot of legal immigrants. Women like him, white males like him, New Yorkers like him. How many other candidates have this wide range of appeal? I love Ted Cruz, but he is not going to get a lot of crossover support.

After the first few primaries, we're going to have a pretty good idea who is going to win the nomination. I know most of us here will support whoever that is because most of us here love our country - and I will say right now - that even though I have disagreements with every one of our candidates - I have no doubt whatsoever that every one of them loves their country.

yep.....I watched a interview of him on the Erin Burnett show last night. I noticed he has improved with his interview style. . He didn't let her get away with anything. It was refreshing to watch. That is what he is for me. refreshing. I don't doubt he loves this country one bit. He is taking it to the ruling elite and poking them in the eye. I luv it. He would be no worse than anyone the ruling elite want. He is not a traitor or a killer or hates this country and its history.
