I'm debating still between Democratic Party or Republican Party. Right now I'm more towards Donald Trump because of the fact that he is different and he makes a lot of good points that I think would make America a better place. We are in debt, we have put ourselves in whole that maybe we need a buisness man to get us out of the huge whole we dug ourselves. There are things I don't agree with him about but what nominee are you going to agree with 100% with what they will do for us.

Because a majority of his major policies are both ludicrous and would be almost impossible to implement.

Ending birthright citizenship, that's a Constitutional Amendment and the President can't change those.

And this wonderful wall. Beyond being ridiculously expensive, both to build and to maintain, it wouldn't actually stop anyone (most illegal immigrants came on legal visas and then just stayed when they expired). It would also be impossible to build without screwing over countless citizens. Why? Because a majority of our border with Mexico is the Rio Grande river. How are you going to build a wall ON the river. And we can't build the wall on the Mexico side. So we would have to build the wall on our side. A lot of that land that borders the river is owned by private citizens, so you would have to use eminent domain to take part of their land so that this wall can be built, effectively splitting someone's land in two. Guess what, this has already been done in certain places along the border by Obama and it was a miserable failure.

And this wonderful businessman that can get us out of debt, you do realize he has declared bankruptcy FIVE times? So unless you support that financial policy for our country then I doubt that would be a positive.

Yeah, the wall is interesting. Current areas of the border that already have a wall actually cut off American citizens from the US. They have to go thru a check point on a daily basis. The article i read took place in Texas i believe.

PO1 Brian Austin - Yep, there are also people who didn't want to give up their land, because they used it for farming or grazing. So the government took the bit they needed and left them with less usable land. That is, unless they want to drive around the fence, through the checkpoint, and back to their land on the other side. In Brownsville, Texas there is a part of the city now on the outside of that fence, pretty much stuck in limbo between the U.S. and Mexico.

I wonder if they made those poor people that got stuck on the wrong side of the fence get passports to reenter the U.S., since that is technically the law as well.

Trump speaks his mind and says what others are afraid to say. I believe that he will put our country and our interest first unlike past presidents. I also appreciate what he says about the military and veterans. From that standpoint alone we will be better off with any Republican. I think Trump will be a great president! Besides, I personally don't trust Hillary one bit. That lady is a snake in the grass that can't keep her lies straight.

I don't think he has a good understanding of the limits of the office. The checks and balances. And what's he going to do when he bumps up against those limits? Insult people? Ignore inconvenient truths? Pretend they're not there? Complain about something being rigged? Not to mention for all his successes, taken with the proverbial grain of salt and not mentioning his failures, he acts like an undiplomatic asshole. Who wants to work with an asshole, other than reluctantly?

Since that has been the modus operandi for the past nearly eight years, what's the problem now?

MCPO Roger Collins - More detail. Which part has been the M.O. for the last eight years? The limits of the office part? How he responds to those limits? The undiplomatic asshole?
