I don't know what are the patricular positions of each one of the candidates more qualified than Trump (again, this mean everybody notable enough to be invited to debates save Carson and Fiorina) but I know for certain that Cruz is
against intervention in Syria. I don't think I would vote for him if I were an American but still, if you want an anti-intervention in Syria candidate Cruz is better than Trump.
I want to like Ted Cruz but he is presently a bit suspect to me.
He has some suspicious ties and associations of which I do not approve.
Also I don't get why you are saying Ted Cruz is more anti-intervention in Syria than Donald is.They both seem to be on the same page on it rather the one being superior to the other.
Another thing that should be said about Ted Cruz is that to me he just doesn't have the type of ferocious charisma and sway that Donald has.He might make for a a good Texas Senator but as the president of the United States going up against the current state of the world today I just don't believe in him to have the kind of influence that is necessary.
It isn't just about the ideas of the person you have to consider their power of personality as well.
If there is anyone that has a chance to fight the establishment he would be it.I've never seen anything like it before in fact ever with any other person that I can think of.
There have been other people who have had great thoughts and ideas but they were never ever able to achieve mainstream popularity and recognition.They were always on the fringe and never taken seriously.Such as Ron Paul.They were just a big joke no matter how intelligent and correct they might be.They just couldn't capture the hearts and minds of the people which is just as important as having good ideas.
Something else is that Donald Trump is actually the influence for alot of what Ted Cruz is at this point.If Donald had never existed then Ted Cruz would be not have evolved in the way that he has.In a way he's been kind of like a political mentor for Ted.So there is also that.
Alot of the things that have become big issues like Syrian refugees and Mexican immigration are big issues because of Donald Trump bringing them up and making them one.
As things stand now Donald is a much much better option than Ted Cruz.
The only person Trump sticks up for is Trump. He serves is own self interests not Americas.
Maybe he is not perfect but really can you that any of the other candidates are any better at all?
Who is more selfless then and why?
In terms of what he is advocating he is the most people oriented candidate since everything he is promoting are all about empowering America and Americans.
Maybe you might make the argument that it's a whole lot of bluster that won't be put into motion once he's actually in office.And it's just a bunch of talk.
But you know what?That's been every other president we've had for over a decade along with everyone else who's currently running so if anything we have much to gain and nothing to lose.At best he just won't deliver.But it's hard for me to see him actually damaging the country.Certainly no worse than Hilary or Jeb would do.
And above and beyond you must realize the simple fact that such a mainstream and popular person is bringing the narrative that he is bringing to the public is huge.The mere fact that he is bringing this kind of thinking and consciousness to the American people alone makes him 100% worthwhile in my mind.Even if he doesn't get elected or doesn't deliver.
So why would this not apply to Trump? Because he says so? He has scammed America for over a decade with shitty television and branding. Remember Trump Steaks? But now he should have executive power?
I still need to do alot more research on Trump in terms of his history and background and the totality of his past since that is something I do not have intimate knowledge of just surface level understanding.
But currently I am judging him based on his current behavior and more importantly what ideas and strategies he is presenting.
And all of them are pro American and anti establishment.
They are all things which would empower America and empower Americans.
That instead of the current crippling and destruction of it that you are currently witnessing.
Preserving America is important because traditional America represents so many great things.
You must understand why America is important and why it was created in the first place.
America is not just a country.It is an idea and a set of principles.
America was originally created as a response to tyranny and evil.It was created to protect the people from the monsters who always exist who seek to subjugate and control their fellow man.
The constitution and the bill of rights aren't just some archaic relics of the 18th century.They are a safe guard against the tyranny of evil men.That is why they were created.
They applied to protection from government corruption and human abuse of power then and they still apply now.
That by the way is what the establishment is at at this point.They are like the corrupted king of england back in the american revolutionary war.
America is the david to their goliath.
This is about anti assimilation to global power.
That is why America must be preserved and restored to strength.It must be revitalized.
Everything Donald Trump is proposing and promoting are in line with that purpose.
Have you not even noticed just how much the establishment hates him?Including almost all of the republican party?
The people like Donald Trump.The establishment and those in power do not.They hate him with an intense passion.That should tell you something.
He is wreaking havoc upon their agenda.
Nice dig! It's more about the fact that I trust in a candidate and I don't hate the powers that be. Sorry you're so jaded about politics though.
Is it wrong to dislike corruption and evil?
Do you really feel that the US government or the candidates you favor actually have your best interests at heart?
I'm sure we can both agree that a corrupt ruler is bad and should be removed from the power.
So the question then becomes are the "powers that be" corrupt or not?
Since you don't seem to think they are I'd be curious as to why you don't think so.
Well, from what I see is that Trump is the lesser of many evils. Hillary Clinton in my own estimate should be in jail for trying to hide her emails, Bernie Sanders is just some weak cuck.
It's kind of silly that Trump is actually supposed to be a demon yet Hilary Clinton is some sort of angel.
If the government was not corrupted then Hilary would be facing legal action and criminal prosecution.
But of course she does not because she is after all the "powers that be".
She is just another human being like you and I so why should one human be elevated above others?If we did the same things we'd be in jail.
Lets not forget about all the sins of Bill Clinton yet he has never been prosecuted or gone to jail despite lying under oath to the whole American population while undertaking the highest responsibility of the united states-being the president.
Progressives and liberals love Hilary and Bill.So how come they won't call them out on their abuse and exploitation of women?
Hilary is the champion of equality right?
Is that why she has a net worth of $31.5 million dollars?
This is where progressivism gets cracked wide open.
They constantly rant about "equality" but their hypocrisy shows that they are for anything but true equality.
Progressivism has
nothing to do with
real equality at all.
It is literally the wolf in sheeps clothing.
