Why do people take Donold Trump's campaign seriously?

Because sometimes, enough is enough. People are sick and tired of being taken advantage of by others through big government and political correctness.

The fact that the government itself never seems to function properly and people who are elected into office of power tend to be hypocrites.

Weather you like him or not, or the things he has said, he has a reputation that appeals to a silent majority.

Unlike most politicians, Donald Trump is a business man and in real estate. His success is based off of being able to work with others, manage and form deals. He may not be a governor, but the fact that he is successful is enough to give him more credibility then a lot of other potential candidates running for office.

People claim he is racist, a bigot, or doesn't know what he is talking about, but the irony is they are the ones who understand the least about him. When people say hes racist, they take what he says about "illegals" and like to interpret it as if he is speaking for an entire race or culture.

What people don't understand is, America is a nation of laws. Anyone here illegally is breaking the law, it doesn't matter who the individual is. In past presidencies, including Clinton and Reagan, millions of illegals were deported but you ever wonder why the media never reported on it? Because they all came back...

We have a border, but our border security is lacking.

Second, with some of the "crazy" things he may say, people don't realize that he may not know everything, but part of being a president is to surround yourself with people that actually DO know everything. So in some ways, I suppose I can give some Leigh way as to some of his more ridiculous things like "shutting down the internet"

I'm sure if, hypothetically, he becomes president, he'd have competent people to keep him informed on the issues.

The worst thing that could happen to Donal Trump if he does become president, is to be a failure. Why? Because his very lifestyle and business would be at risk. I don't think a guy like Trump will take so kindly to failure, the fact that he has made a successful business shows proof of that.

I think that's where most of the appeal comes from him.

So you wouldn't vote for him if he was republican? Fair enough, but does that go for everyone in the republican party?

Sure, if you vote democrat your choice is either a socialist or a criminal. But when people say they "hate republicans" because they are only for the rich, pro-war, racist and anti-everything, they are usually people who are misinformed.

Would you believe that, majority of the United State's presidents were Republican or considered conservative? Abraham Lincoln, the founder of the Republican Party, freed the slaves and the north and south were divided because of it. The civil rights movement, Martin Luther king was a conservative and it was under a republican that black's were finally allowed equal rights.

Much of all the regulation, high taxes and stagnate economy is from leftist/liberal policies and ideology. Democrats tend to believe in classifying everyone into groups, while conservatives tend to believe in individual freedom and self responsibility. In the name of "progress" the changes that have been made have resulted in bigger government, less freedom and a culture of welfare in which people are "entitled" to free shit.

But I hate to break the news, but nothing is free. All that welfare/social programs has to come out of the pockets of people who are already working. And I know it may seem hard to believe, but there are a lot of people who are struggling enough as it is with out the government needing to stick their hands in their pockets.

What people don't seem to understand is, there was a time when "to be rich" was considered a standard in which everyone had the opportunity of achieving. Those same "rich" people that the democrats/liberals seem to love to tax so much, are the very ones that create jobs, hire people and effect the economy. When did working hard, innovating and growing a successful business become so taboo? It was under democrats that made people believe that "you didn't earn it, you had help! so you have to pay your fair share!" - yeah, as if my neighbor helped pay my way to college, or helped me by staying up late at night while spending endless hours working, using my ideas to create a successful business despite countless efforts of trial and error. How exactly does that sound fair? hypocrites! I worked my ass off and saved up on my own. I never used student loans or assistance.


When you tax people just because they are rich, what happens? People tend to want to keep what they earn, its not about being greedy. Its about earning your keep. Believe it or not, but you don't need to tax people out of their hard earned money to be charitable. Most people have no problem helping others, but the problem is, when you force a tax on peoples wages, they don't even know where that money goes too. And you cant trust government to "help" out when you can do the same while knowing who your money goes to.

At least with Trump, weather you agree or disagree, he stands by what he says and doesn't change his view. He brings hope in people who see the direction America is heading, and want to fix all the problems politicians seem to incompetent to address.

Yeah, but you can't have a one size fits all situation. People with disabilities, or handicaps are incredibly personal and individualistic. Do you know
how many claims of welfare fraud there is? You'd be surprised!

That is just a small part of the issue. As for being inhuman to deny them... before there was welfare and all these social programs, you had people that
made it their business to take care of them. Not because the government told them too, or because they were forced. They did it because back in those days
people had the moral high ground to look after others.

Today, the mentality is: "Why work when you can get a welfare check every week and screw over people that ARE working? It's not like i CAN"T be working..."

Social programs/welfare only encourage people to take advantage of others and creates a sense of dependency. While I admit it seems like a good idea, and
I have no problem helping others, at some point however, you have to draw the line and say "enough is enough!"

As for big banks and corporate welfare, hate to break it to you but it isn't just republicans. A lot of these companies and banks were bailed out on
taxpayer expenses. Why? Because they are tied to big government. If you look at which politicians support what companies in stocks and which ones are mutually linked to them you will see it goes both ways.

Big companies and banks hold a monopoly, and with subsidies they get from the government it makes it harder for small business to grow because they don't
make the same profit margins and it becomes ever increasingly harder to compete. What SHOULD of happened was, all those businesses/banks and companies that did
go bankrupt should have not been bailed out. It all goes back to accountability. A lot of the problems stemmed from big companies making poor decisions and
making bad policies which resulted in the economic disparities we saw almost 10 years ago.

When you allow the free market to work, bad business are forced to liquidate and sell off assets, which in turn good companies are able to buy from them.
If you got a good product, or have a good service - you WONT have these problems. That's how it always was, at least until government got involved. They choose
and pick who wins and loses. That isn't a solution its just another part of the problem.

As for paying your fair share, that's questionable. While I do agree there should be some taxes, it shouldn't be nearly what it is now. People who are rich
or earn a certain amount of income that is over +100k were able to achieve their wealth through handwork, getting a good education, or being innovative. Why should
they be penalized for their effort because they had the fortitude to go out and MAKE something of their lives?

You know that a lot of people, they purposely avoid reaching a certain income bracket just to avoid higher taxes right? They do that because it isn't fair for them. People claim that they should pay more, but these are the same people that want free health care, higher wages for working minimum wage jobs, free education, and all the other government handouts afforded to them.

How about, instead of forcing higher taxes on those that earn more go out and do something about their lives. People in this day of age are afraid of hard work it seems. Almost as if they are allergic to it.



So is the democratic mindset of welfare and social programs. We are social creatures that is true, but to say we can't achieve things on our own? What about all the innovators and great minds that changed the world through their ingenuity? They had an idea, and they found ways of making them become reality. You think in today's political environment, we'd have the same amount of progress? Henry Ford invented the automobile and made them affordable - he didn't have help from the government, he FOUGHT the government to even get his idea off the ground. Or what of the Wright brothers? They had the idea of being able to fly and they spend many hours and months building the idea and concept of achieving flight.

Point is, people can achieve things on their own with enough hard work and resolve. It isn't impossible.



Again, your wrong about that. There are a lot of people who are disadvantaged in some form. But they find ways of finding success.


As for trump, I personally am not a supporter or defender. But I do understand what he talks about, and where his supporters are coming from. I may not agree with everything he says, but have you ever considered actually looking up his policies directly? You be surprised. A lot of his policies are pretty well laid out and they aren't as radical or extreme as people like to point out. When you get past his big attitude/ego, you will see a lot of the ideas he has make sense.
