Trump is the only candidate other than Bernie that is not owned lock stock and barrel by their big donors. That's a big plus.

In addition there's this:

“Every Republican wants to do a big number on Social Security, they want to do it on Medicare, they want to do it on Medicaid. And we can’t do that. And it’s not fair to the people that have been paying in for years and now all of the sudden they want to be cut.”

And this:

"We've spent $4 trillion trying to topple various people that, frankly, if they were there and if we could have spent that $4 trillion in the United States to fix our roads, our bridges, and all of the other problems — our airports and all the other problems we have — we would have been a lot better off, I can tell you that right now.

We have done a tremendous disservice not only to the Middle East — we've done a tremendous disservice to humanity. The people that have been killed, the people that have been wiped away — and for what? It's not like we had victory. It's a mess. The Middle East is totally destabilized, a total and complete mess. I wish we had the 4 trillion dollars or 5 trillion dollars. I wish it were spent right here in the United States on schools, hospitals, roads, airports, and everything else that are all falling apart!"

And then there's his support of the second amendment, which as you know is a point of agreement for me.

So he panders to the bigots. BFD.

I'm a big ole 'Murican white man. I can put on a set of Camos from Bass Pro shops and fit right in with the Duck Dynasty crowd, so that won't affect me.
