Where has your common sense gone?
I understand your passion, but for gods sake open your eyes man. Trump is the very kind that got us into this mess in the first place. Throwing money here and there. Paying lobbyist to influents politicians to vote for what they want. Trump and people just like him, are evil
beyond anything you want to measure.
What the hell is wrong with you. Why can't you see this?
By the standards you set every business in the world is guilty,if you worked for or owned a business you and I and everyone else has prospered if the business was successful.Remember we are not talking about bribes which in reality is
what they are,but still legal.people Paying lobbyist or politicians to vote for what they want are evil is what you said,I guess the other side of the coin is that people that don't accept these donations are good as in Trump and people that do accept them are evil as in Cruz.I will ask you the same question you put to me,"why can't you see this".By you own definition Trump is clean and Cruz is dirty.This is the point I keep trying to make he is not owned by anyone and Cruz is owned by a whole lot of people,"why can't you see this"?this plus the fact that the power wants desperately to get Trump out shows he has hit a major nerve with these corrupt people,if Cruz is elected he still can't do anything about that,Trump can.I don't dislike Cruz it's just that at this point in history Trump has more weapons he can use on the unique problems we face as a nation.

Hemiman, The reason I can say this about Trump is this. I am a retired business man. And no, I did not work for the businesses, there were 4 of them. I owned them. I have employed more people then I can remember. I never once used any one to buy influence to promote, or establish influence, so that any one of those company's had an in with the government. Nor would I. Oh I had many chances to do so. But I have always considered it to be unethical. And I detest any business owner, who has done so.
I can remember many times during bidding for a government contract, because of lobbyist I would lose out to other company's that would buy influence to promote there a-gender. Now, had I played the game of buying congressmen, yes, I could have made a very large fortune.
But at what cost? My integrity and honor are worth much more than any money can buy.
Many of my business associates have told me I am nuts for doing that. Really? At least I can sleep at night knowing I never cheated anyone. Every once in a while I happen to come across an employee I had in years past. Always I am greeted with a worm hand shake and kind words. You don't get that from being a cheat.
There is a right and wrong way to conduct business. There are unfortunately, many people who consider it ok to promote there business any way they can. I was never one among them. Donald Trump my be your savior. But not in my book.
There is an old saying I refer to often. " You can cheat some of the people some of the time, but you can't cheat them all of the time."
I can recognize your point, for perhaps you have never been on the other side of business. I have for over 40 years. Tell me, what is the point to gain the world, and lose you soul?
No, Trump is not anyone I would follow.
