Donald Trump is scary.
I don't think he is racist.
I don't think he is wrong...but I don't think he is right.
NO, I don't think he should be president.
No, I am not voting for him. I doubt if I could vote for any of today's republicans or conservatives.
Do I feel Trump believes everything he is campaigning? No.
YES, I am for candidates voicing their opinions even if they are politically incorrect and appear racist. People have labeled Trump racist for his controversial views on immigration. I am not saying he is right, however we do need to tighten up the laws and regulations on immigration. Newsflash: According to some news sources there are problems with gangs of illegals. BIGGER NEWSFLASH: I am more suspect of candidates who stay quiet and/or pro law enforcement when there are obvious accounts of police brutality and especially against people of color. SO any candidate who is quiet on the Walter Scott killing, the South Carolina shootings in a church, Tayvon Martin, Eric Garner and even the Ferguson situation I am very suspicious of YOU. You can acknowledge the law, but if as a candidate you cannot articulate that those deaths should not have happened then I think you are harboring racist thoughts and are kissing the ass of those who would see me dead. You are more dangerous than a nut with a bad hair piece saying that we need walls around the boarders.
Similarly I am for political incorrectness. Too often people try to be liked and accepted by everyone. This is one of the few things I actually appreciate about right wing television. I won't give much of my time to FOX News or Rush Limbaugh but I support their right to say what they want. Yes, even if it plays with racism. Only to a point though. I honestly don't need Rush saying "those niggers" but if he honestly feels a particular way he should be able to voice himself appropriately without reprisal. Let him appeal to his audience intelligently.
Donald Trump is leading republicans in most polls because he seems honest where the rest of the pack just comes off as stuffy and out of touch. Ben Carson is closing in because he has adapted Trump's style. No, I think a few people will choose to not vote for a Muslim running for president.
I'm just saying we put too much faith into political correctness. People don't truly let you know how they actually think George W Bush served two terms as president and the American population supposedly found him stupid.
