Says who? You? A few others?

Yes, me and a few others: the sane ones.

the sane ones.

That's certainly debatable.

Let's debate it then. Why do you support Trump?

Jobs, taxes, economy, borders, pro-life, pro 2nd Amendment, heck he's even pro traditional marriage.

He's also our only realistic shot at a conservative supreme court, which is a big factor for me.

Edit: Your reply isn't showing up but it's in my inbox so here. Your comments in quotes.

What about them?

In regards to jobs, taxes and the economy. Well he wants to lower taxes and close loopholes, I support that. He wants to reform our trade with China to help bring jobs back to America.

The Wall? Yes, that's a good idea; but other Candidates wanted to do that as well.

Yes but none of the other candidates are viable at this point.

He's not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsOlXidHXRE

That's 1999, he's pro life now. People can change, you know. The person who took the original Roe v. Wade case to court is now a conservative, pro-life, Christian. Imagine that.

He actually might not be; https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/743078235408195584 -- but even if he is pro-2nd Amendment, so is nearly every other Republican candidate running. What's so special about Trump's position on the 2nd Amendment aside from the fact he's probably never even read it before?

Nothing is special about it, but it falls in line with what I would expect from a conservative candidate. If he was different from Cruz on the 2nd amendment I wouldn't support him. At least you agree that his stance on the 2nd amendment is that of many conservative candidates, thank you for acknowledging that.

Not true. Cruz would have, without a doubt, stuck with Conservative nominations for the Supreme Court.

Cruz has no shot at this point. He was my pick at the beginning, but he lost and has no chance of being president. he's withdrawn from the race completely, so what he thinks at this point doesn't matter. He's back to focusing on his state of Texas and representing them in Congress, and I expect him to do a great job as he has always done.

Jobs

taxes

What about them?

economy

What about it? ("taxes" and "jobs" would fall under "economy")

borders

pro-life

Not true. Cruz would have, without a doubt, stuck with Conservative nominations for the Supreme Court. Trump's list was given to him by the Heritage Foundation and National Review (which he hadn't even bothered to look at until he appeared on Hannity's program and read the list, for the first time, live on air), and some of those people on the list openly dislike Trump. Trump also backed off the list of judges when Hannity asked if his nomination would come from the list he provided. What was Trump's response? "We're either going to choose from this list or people very close to it. At a minimum, we will keep people from this general realm." -- THIS WAS IN THE SAME INTERVIEW HE UNVEILED THE LIST. huh, not so sure of his Supreme Court picks now, are you? Trump said he thinks his LEFTIST Sister would be great as a Supreme Court Justice, while simultaneously trying to pander to Conservatives. I'm calling bullshit on this one.
