5. He's just what we need in Washington, an outsider who speaks his mind

Got to admire a man who can do that these days. I don't want someone who's been in government. We need someone to shake up Washington.

I don't always agree with what Trump says, but my taxes are too high dammit and I'm voting for Republicans up and down the ticket.



Don't kill the messenger. This is what people around me are actually beating their chests about. In their minds, they can cast off his blatant indefensible positions, because when it comes down to MONEY, they believe in republican principles, that it was the republicans who rescued us from the market crash of 2007, not Obama and the democratic congress that got policies changed. And and low taxes.

This is who we are up against in this election. Not Trump. He could literally start shooting white Christians as a sacrifice to himself as the all mighty deity and they will still support him, BECAUSE HE'S A REPUBLICAN.

We need to pressure every democrat in this free land of ours to get a vote in for Hillary or else these people will give us Trump and a house stacked with even more backwards thinkers.
