Quote:What makes you think so? He has changed his stand on so many issues that it's impossible to know what he stands for, or more importantly what he'd stand for two years hence. His policy statements are no more meaningful than "Hope and Change." And he's made so many shady deals with government in the past that he probably owes a lot of people favors.


 

Rand is my favorite, and I don't think he owes big anyone anything. He's right about privacy vs. security. I'm basing my support partly on the influence of his father, since his voting record wasn't exactly "Dr. No." (Ron Paul's nickname in congress).


 

I'm impressed with Cruz standing up in Iowa against ethanol subsidies as part of his overall stance against subsidies for anything. He's certainly not controlled by anyone that I can tell, and has a voting record against corporate welfare better than Rand's.

 

Despite Donald changing his stances for the better as he has aged, he has the strongest stance on immigration, homeland security, and trade. His policies are at direct odds with globalists like Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, and Jeb Bush and he is the most inward-focused candidate. Donald Trump also exuberates confidence, strength, and leadership, more so than any candidate running. There hasn't been a candidate with this sort of aura since Reagan.That is why I support him.

 

I like Rand Paul, and agree he is not controlled to the extent of the other candidates, but his immigration and trade stance are a bit weak. As for Ted Cruz not being controlled, I suggest you read this. He has billionaire wall-streeters, big banks, and big oil bankrolling him. I can't trust him with those kinds of donors. The fact he flip-flopped on TPP AND amnesty while skipping the audit the fed bill puts Ted Cruz far down on my list.
