For what's it worth, here are the main reasons I'm voting Trump:
1) What Trump actually says vs. the media headlines/quotes taken out of context are two different things. Does he say stuff he shouldn't? Absolutely. And some of it I certainly don't agree with. But, see point 2.
2) He's not an established politician. He's new to the scene and will shake things up. I think our political system needs that. And because he isn't a politician, he's rougher around the edges. Hasn't had the media training or experience all the other candidates have.
3) He's a successful businessman. He knows how to put the right people in the right position to create a successful company/business. I see that as the job of the President.
4) And after last night's speech, he's bringing the Republican party to a more middle ground--I like that.
5) And last but not least, I agree that neither Presidential hopeful is ideal. But with Trump, at least you know where you stand. With Hillary, it's a series of lies and skirting the system. To me, she's not trustworthy.

I understand what Trump meant very well. I am frustrated with the media twisting his words. That's one of the main reasons that my spouse, who is not political and rarely voted before, will vote for Trump in November. I will not vote for Ted Cruz type of Republican. But with Trump it's an easy choice for me.

He doesn't have a clue about NATO or anything else that is more complicated than his Twitter feed. Any idiot can say Europe should do more, etc., but the President should know the facts.
Can you cite any examples when the media "twisted his words"? The NY Times posted his thoughts about NATO. The GOP foreign policy shops went berserk. Trump reiterated his comments in his speech last night. Did the Time twist his words?

Trump offers some fresh ideas that no other politicians have the guts to discuss. When he first brought up NATO, I think it was with Wolf Blitzer, the press went all out spreading misinformation that he wanted to abandon NATO or destroy our alliances. The press also twisted his words that he wanted to give Japan and South Korea nuclear weapons ... What Trump meant was very simple, our NATO allies, Japan, South Korea etc are not paying their fair share of the cost. That's it. He has set the tone.

From the article you linked "... Baltic states aren't alone in not meeting this requirement; of the 28 member states, only five spent at least 2 percent of their GDP on defense in 2015." Trump brought up something that you have never heard from any other politician.

I'm pretty sure you're a troll and just trying to be provocative. But whatever. Have a nice day.

Why would this person be a troll? Do you think it impossible that a middle aged black man would vote for Trump? I don't think it is that far fetched at all and can understand why he would not admit to his friends. I do think that you are in denial and will be surprised when Trump becomes POTUS. I see this going down in the history books like this: Donald J. Trump, a controversial candidate hated by many, elected by a small margin, made the most positive change in the US in a century. Crime at all time low, economy booming, jobs coming back to US, immigration problem solved, etc. etc. In his second term, he won 95% of he vote.

Different poster, but I absolutely find it impossible to believe that an educated black person could support Obama and then vote for Trump. It's just not credible. It's about as fantastical as your vision of Trump's legacy.

I wasn't buying the troll thing at first, but the fact that the OP can't explain it - to an anonymous forum, no less - pretty much confirms it. Like the Trumpian utopia you're fantasizing about, there's no basis in reality. I think the OP is just another scared, angry white guy wanting to believe the fantasy that Trump is supported by more than scared, angry white guys.

Ummm...

Did you watch the convention? There were a lot of black delegates there in the audience.

CNN did a segment where they talked about how many AA people have historically supported the Republican party. Colin Powell, Condelezza Rice, etc. They were talking about the few AA speakers who spoke in support of Trump at the Convention.

The fact that you find this unbelieveable really means that you're out of touch and just want to only see your side blindly.

There were 18 AA out of 2000 delegates. If you paid attention to such things, during the prime time speeches they kept showing the same four AA delegates over and over.

Were Powell and Rice there this week?

The history of the Republican party, from Lincoln to Jackie Robinson, is irrelevant at this point. Trump repudiated everything they believed in last night.

Maybe PP thinks 18 out of 2000 is "a lot." It's all about perspective I guess......

2) He won't shake things up. The political system in this country is set up to make it impossible for any one actor to shake things up. If elected, he's going to have to trade favors, negotiate, suck up and eat dirt like any other politician before him. Trump also shows no interest in getting trained or learning anything new because he believes he is absolutely perfect the way he is.

3) Many of his businesses failed. A great many. You can make just a good an argument that since they failed, then at least on some occasion he didn't put the right people in the right position.

4) What about last night has been about a middle ground?

5) Trump lies like you and I breathe. Hillary knows when she lies. When Trump lies, he is absolutely convinced he's right even if facts contradict him.

The only way jobs will come back to the US is if American workers agree to low pay and you, the consumer, agree to pay three times what you do now, for the privilege of buying Made in the USA. As long as you are prepared for this, jobs will come back.

Immigration problems will be solved the second America becomes an unattractive country in which to live. In that, I agree with you, Trump has an excellence chance of curbing immigration.

OP, I am new to the thread and this may have been posted already, but I have to point your attention to the very talented duo of Diamond and Silk!

I posted a link to their channel on this forum before! The video where they change their voter registration so they could vote for Trump in the primaries. I enjoy their videos too. They haven't uploaded in a week. I've been checking my subscriptions on YouTube.

They posted an updated video this morning from their hotel in Cleveland on their facebook page. They got to sit in the VIP box last night at the convention! They are AWESOME and have attended several Virginia Women for Trump events.

Lol - y'all ready to do cartwheels over a YouTube video of two women who like Trump like that actually amounts to shit.

So that brings the number up to what, 20 African-American supporters? Did we count the "my African-American" Trump was pointing at?
