I'm going to attend the GOP Caucus next Tuesday and I'm lost at who to vote for.
I have to admit that I've leaned towards Trump since he announced. Why? Because he's a business man and not a professional lawyer/politician, the people who've gotten us into the mess we're in. A man who know how to take on problems and select the right people to help him do so. In other words, a manager.
I also like Doctor Carson a great deal. The perfect example of what someone can do if they fight the good fight to escape the slavery created by the Democrat War on Poverty. The son us a single, black woman, he got the most out of a less than ideal education system and elevated himself to be one of the best in his chosen field. He is a religious man although his form of religion is not one I'd chose. And, while it's not apparent, he too knows how to face real challenges and overcome them with the right people.
I'm sick of having an inept lap dog in the Oval Office who seems to be nothing but a puppet on the strings of behind-the-scenes movers and shakers like Valerie Jarrett. I want a REAL Chief Executive. That's why I've also been trying to find a governor to support.
Chris Christie just seems unelectable to me. There something about Kasich that just grates on me in spite of his actions in Ohio – perhaps his constant telling me all about it. I admire Jeb Bush – but we just don't need another Bush in the White House right now IMHO.
So, now we come down to it – Cruz or Rubio.
The fact that so many establishment and media types don't like him almost attracts me to him in spite of him being another attorney/politician. He's sort of a hometown Vegas guy who knows what the average person goes through in life. But the Harvard law degree also grates on me. I've got to admit that he's probably the best-informed candidate on the US constitution. But, what makes him qualified to be the Chief Executive?
Rubio. Well, in spite of what I've learned about him, I can't get excited over him.
So, where does that leave me?
Trump excites people and just may bring out the sit-on-your-duff, middle of the road Americans who will speak up for WE THE PEOPLE and not the DC Inner Circle. But. Can he be trusted to keep his word? Or will he be yet another disappointing Hope and Change big mouth who ends up promising lots of things and doing others?
Most important of all – I WANT THE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE TO LOSE. I don't care who he or she is. I also want to retain and even increase the GOP leads in Congress, as well as state and local elections.
Can Cruz be the kind of candidate to create the excitement necessary to do this?
Or will The Donald?
So, where do I turn? Who do I support?
Would love to see some reasoned and non-hate filled responses.
Thanks.
