I've been involved with politics for many years now. Not nearly as many as some but enough where I am very comfortable in my political positions and beliefs. I debate very often and while I'm not on this forum as much anymore because of my internet situation (I'm still stuck on a tablet using mobile data) I do find myself on Facebook due to the ease of it being an app. I have a special account on there for debating versus my personal account. I like to keep politics and personal matters separate and I find security is key in such a venue. Due to these experiences I had to make a choice.
I'm voting Trump. I'm not voting anything else. If Trump isn't the final nominee then I simply will not. I will not expend the effort on something I don't believe in. Is that a freebie for the Democrats? No, but someone will try to make that case. I am one person after all in a state that was stupid enough to support Barrack Obama twice and vote an experience-less Clinton foundation tool to be our Governor. Virginia tries to be a purple swing state but we're a tad too stupid when it comes to the matters of liberty and freedom. Ironically we have such a strong military force that it's astounding that the state isn't solid red. I digress.
My experiences on the web and careful research have lead me to voting for Trump. My experiences have also had a negative effect where I am now so disgusted by the other campaigns (except for Carson) that I wouldn't support them even if they paid me.
Firstly let me say I still love Ben Carson. I think he's the best candidate and I think he's the cure America needs. I think America is a bit stupid for forcing him out of the race without consideration. Still reality must dictate that I choose a viable candidate. John Kasich was a joke to begin with and I'm not even sure how much less why he's still in the election at all. He's a Democrat himself practically.
I'm going to start with Ted Cruz supporters. These individuals make the Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, and Ron Paul fandoms combined look like nothing. They are so radical that I question where their loyalty really lies. They attack with vicious speed and gang up faster than a university professor can call for muscle against the student press. They're the rudest people on the internet and even make liberals look like very nice and competent debaters. I secretly think many of them are Democrats who are imposing on our side of the election because they fear Donald Trump so much. Logic dictates that if it acts like a liberal, attacks like a liberal, retorts like a liberal, and bullies like a liberal, there's a pretty good chance it's a liberal. Needless to say the supporters make up the bulk of the campaign and represent their candidate. I do not feel Ted Cruz would be a bad president. Do I feel it's his time? No. I think he has a future ahead of him to say the least. His supporters have turned me off to his campaign more than anyone else has however.
Marco Rubio supporters are non-existent. Given his polling numbers someone, somewhere, must support the man but clearly they don't make the fact known. Given the absence of his supporters I cannot judge them at all. I've had limited if even any interactions with any. I will however say that I have lost all respect for Rubio. In the last week before Super Tuesday Rubio has decided to switch his game and be an attack dog. That's fine, Trump has been doing it the entire time, but to do it so late in the game feels fake and desperate to say the least. Instead of campaigning Rubio has masqueraded as a middle schooler spreading gossip and bullying another student (Trump). His town hall meetings in the last few days have sounded like a night at the comedy club; which leads me to believe that if Rubio hangs up the politician's jacket he may have a engaging career as a stand up comic. He certain'y has the demeanor but not thanks to him I associate his campaign with that demeanor. I don't need a clown in office (I know that's an unfounded and often used insult against Trump but maybe it is because Trump is certainly not a clown?). Rubio himself has shut down any chances he has had for President and his positions are shaky at best; especially on the topic of illegal immigration.
I like Trump. I liked Trump before this election and I like him now. I may not have always shown it when Ben Carson stood a chance but I do like Trump. I have always thought he would make a good President. Perhaps I gravitate towards businessmen in elections - I did support Herman Cain in 2012 after all. I never seem to pick the winner in the nominee process early on anyways so maybe it was an omen Carson would fail. Trump's ideas support many of my own. I want the economy fixed, I want our debt lowered, and I want America to start producing again. I'm tired of my generation being called entitled while the older generations who supplanted this idea do not do anything to intervene. I want a man who will support the veterans and those in the active duty. I want someone who can not only make foreign policy but also has the balls to listen to senior advisers and the military brass. I want a man who can finally control illegal immigration and stop the drug war (lets be honest here...Mexico can and will fund the wall if we pay for the wall with the billions in free funding we give their nation a year for nothing!). I want someone who has pride in the nation and will fix it.
I don't think a politician can do it. I don't think the bandwagon will elect a good leader. I think Trump at this point is out only option. The Democrats are clearly looking to put forward Hillary Clinton. They're dumb and we're going to want someone loud and in charge to take the fight to her. We don't want the meek Romney clone. We want to run fast, aggressive, and win.
So I only have one vote to give and it's only going to one place, or not at all. Criticize as you will.
