Rand Paul was my strong first choice because I also seek limited government or at least a halt to its rapid expansion. Unfortunately we must play the cards we are dealt. It is also unfortunate has such a flawed system by which to choose a President. The post below critiques our current system.<br /><br /> http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2015/09/political-debates-highlight-flawed.htmlBruce Wildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181323607060607040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992740250270600844.post-73832056186965064602016-04-30T09:58:56.137-07:002016-04-30T09:58:56.137-07:00I am solidly in the Never Trump camp.

I have search the Internet for reasons to change my views, but as yet have not found any compelling information that would spur this change.<br /><br />Yes,the American people are angry and fed up with the double dealing politicians in Washington. Trump has capitalized on these feelings, and with the free 2 billion in media coverage, has been able to turn these feelings of betrayal into a strong, loyal following. <br /><br />No matter how strong or brilliant or perfect Trump may or may not be, the answer to "Making America Great Again" is not to be found in the antics of one man. <br /><br />America's exceptionalism comes from our Founding documents. Our Constitution is what impowers our lives, our economy,and our security. This is our path to restoring all that made America the engine of prosperity, not just for her citizens, but for people the world over.<br /><br />It is when we stray from the concepts of limited national government, natural individual rights, free markets and property rights that we loose. Trump has not articulated any fidelity to or understanding of these concepts. Indeed, what little details he has given are in direct conflict with our Constitution. Tariffs, capital controls, taking of private property to give to another for private use, use of torture against innocent civilians, etc. <br /><br />It is very polyanish to believe that he would change a system of crony capitalism that he has exploited and lived within to build his empire. He embodies the system; tearing it down would require dismantling his whole business model. People do not transform overnight. Just as the Clinton's have used their offices for personal gain, I'm sure Trump would also use the office of the Presidency to enhance his business deals. <br /><br />In short, everything in Trump's background leads me to believe he recognized and is taking advantage of the emotiions of the American people. History tells us populist movements usually end very badly. Sadly, this one will be no different.DesertRathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921481675375668001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992740250270600844.post-51711127389750232972016-04-29T20:19:39.763-07:002016-04-29T20:19:39.763-07:00As I stated, "One message being made clear du...As I stated, "One message being made clear during this primary season is that it would be wise not to underestimate the growing discontent and angst of the American people."

Trump may not have any experience in political office. He maybe a bad business man who needs daddy's money. But....<br /><br />At this point. I would vote for Mickey F%$^ing Mouse if he struck back against the leftist political correctness, White Man hating Femocrat conglomerate. Mickey could even admit he was going to raise my taxes while reigning in the racist DoJ and I would still vote for him.<br /><br />Voting for a anti-PC clown is even better.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.com
