[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm voting for Trump but I'm not telling anyone. Maybe that's part of the problem. But as I see it, people who are against Trump are SOOOO against him that they can't be nice or have a normal conversation about why Trump vs. Hillary. Too many people get defensive or try to get you to change your mind. I'm all for listening to another perspective, but not at the risk of being attacked.

For what's it worth, here are the main reasons I'm voting Trump:
1) [b]What Trump actually says vs. the media headlines/quotes taken out of context are two different things.[/b] 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. [/quote]

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.

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?[/quote]

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.[/quote][/quote]

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.

Just look at the front page of CNN on any recent day.  Multiple hit pieces on Trump - many really stretching too.  CNN reeks of desperation.

It's amazing the lengths to which CNN and the other networks are going to paint Trump in a bad light -and yet there's so little written about Hillary, even after the media was just handed the DNC's damning emails.  Has anyone at CNN even bothered to read those?

Blatant media bias is on full display at the moment.  And it's pissing people off.  Just check out the polls.[/quote]

Completely agree. I am a very reluctant Trump supporter (I think) but this is pushing me over the edge. The Washington Post has been insufferable [/quote]

I agree.  They don’t even try to hide their biased support for Clinton in their reporting.  It is shameful, really. 
True journalism is dead when it comes to the WaPo.  [/quote]
