So to those that are not, why are you not supporting Trump?
He will led to the retaking of the American West from the illegal hordes, which is only a good thing, seeing how if they are given papers they will vote solidly for the left.

You forget the sarcasm smiley in that post??
There is no or has been a Real Conservative Congress since who knows how long.
The people holding office are nothing but clowns honking horns falling over them self seeing who can get the most done, with the least amount of work.
This congress bent over , handing everything Obama wanted in the last package they signed off on.
Immigration, neither side wants to eliminate the illegals over running the border. The D's for voting power.The R's for cheap labor. At least the D's are open when it comes to illegals.
I'd wager ANYONE holding office would sign off on "tougher gun measures" IF it was politically positive for them .
It's past time for the country to put the title of President out to pasture. Make them a parade waving figurehead, nothing more.
WAY PAST TIME to put the power of the electorate BACK in to the hands of the People. Shitcan the lobbyist, shitcan the power brokers. Give the individual the power to bribe or intimidate the elected official , as it should be.
Last item. TWO YEAR TERM LIMIT.
The don't perform as promised, Out the door. Under their own power, or with help.
I will support Trump if he ends up being the Republican nominee but solely because the Dems are so bad. There are much better candidates on the Republican side to root for. Trump has a history of supporting liberals and liberal causes and all his statements other than "I will build a wall and I'll make Mexico pay for it" are the epitome of vagueness.
Cruz and Carson will at least try to rein in the growth of the government and its intrusion into our personal lives. Rubio has shown a greater command of foreign affairs and national security topics. Christie has at least shown an ability and willingness to fight Democrats, even if he's a New Jerseyite who'd be a Dem if he was in Wyoming or Montana.

As Aloha and Roberth said... I would support Trump if he was the Republican nominee. I despise Trump and you should too.
He is a crony capitalist by definition and really does nothing to restore individual liberty. I like the things he says about immigration and guns... but this is the same guy that supported both Clintons in their previous political endeavors and previously supported gun control at a national level. Apart from that, he's a rich celebrity who is running the election like a middle school class president contest, and that is reason enough to despise him. Guy was on Wrestenmania a few years ago. He's basically President Camacho from Idiocracy. I don't think he could get much done as president because he's so inflammatory. With that consideration, I also think that is a good thing because he has clearly abused the relationship between government and corporations in the past and I can't imagine in my wildest dreams that he would do anything to fix that, even if it WAS within the powers of the office of President of the United States. As an AD member of the military, I am terrified about his awful foreign policy pipe dreams.
My order of preference is:
1. Rand Paul
2. Ted Cruz
3. Gary Johnson/John McAffee?
3b. Ben Carson (although he has many areas that concern me as well... he is a very distant 3rd)
4. Donald Trump

The man bought who was for sale, and that was the Clintons.
Mcaffee is really running? I thought that was a joke.
Well he is done speaking on P.C which is a great thing. As for immigration, that alone will insure we secure our future as mass immigration (legal or otherwise) will create a one party state just as it did California, only on a nation scale.
You can not take people from peasant cultures, who values collectivism/statism and have no understand or value of Liberty, and who vote lockstep for the same crap they did back home, place them here and expect them to change, they will not change they will only reduce us to the same serfs they are.
Unrestricted Immigration=Restricted Liberty
Or
Restricted Immigration=Unrestricted Liberty
More and more we are picking Liberty over Immigration as we should have from the begin.
“maximum security at the borders and maximum liberty within the borders.”
Thank you HoneyBadger for your further explanation on Trump.
SG1 - I understand about Trump being opportunistic about the Klintons, doesn't have to mean that I accept it. This is a personal responsibility/personal conduct issue and Trump's conduct is lacking. He was already a billionaire, no reason to sully himself with the Klintons but he did.
I like this statement alot. We can apply it to Colorado, Colorado used to be a free state then CA and other leftist state people started moving here.You can not take people from peasant cultures, who values collectivism/statism and have no understand or value of Liberty, and who vote lockstep for the same crap they did back home, place them here and expect them to change, they will not change they will only reduce us to the same serfs they are.
Did most of these immigrants adopt the freedoms CO presented 15 years ago? No! They changed CO into CA/NY.
