The problem with Drumpf is that he says things that you may agree or disagree with (I tend to disagree more than agree with him), but regardless of how you feel about his talking points about issues, he does not have any viable detailed plans formulated that he can carry through to fruition. Talk is cheap, and Drumpf can talk . . . A lot . . . Action speaks louder than words, and Trump has not shown his ability to get things done. He's a lot better, and seems to enjoy, insulting other people more than collaborating to get things done.

 
That I disagree with.  You don't become a billionaire, go bankrupt, and then become a billionaire again by not getting things done.

If you mean politically, well he's never been in a political office.

That (his lack of any details) makes him in my mind NOT a viable candidate. He is good on what many people care about, but that is where he stops. There is pretty much nothing else behind the rhetoric.

You can become a billionaire by selling your name to other people to put on projects that they've developed. As I stated before, that's good 'work' if you can get it.

I guess it depends upon whether you consider prostitution an honorable vocation.

 
I get that you don't like the guy, that's fine, I don't like him either.  I only like him more than Hillary Clinton.  But, you can't honestly deny that the guy knows how to get things done in what he does.  Mind you I'm not saying that would translate at all into the world of federal politics.

I agree with his stance on immigration. He doesn't have any eloquence in the way he puts it, he puts it like a meathead construction worker would, or any realistic solutions (make Mexico pay for a wall? Come on!), but I do agree with the stance.

I agree with him on wanting to get rid of Common Core in our schools.

The thing is, I think Common Core is up to each individual state, so What role would a president have?

As far as his immigration stance,,, don't you find it less than admirable when it's made by a guy who employs illegals?

 
I don't know that he does employ illegals. I know that he outsources work to other countries, and he is indeed hypocritical in that, for sure.

Also his building a wall and having Mexico pay for it is a laugher ! 

The sad thing is that MANY businesses and employers DON'T want it fixed. It provides a cheap source of labor. The whole illegal immigration situation could EASILY be resolved with a mandatory required check of ID by employers. Some Federal jobs DO require that. 

Also Trump believe the WALL would stop illegal drugs entering our country. Totally ridiculous. 

When you actually look at stats it seems to support that illegal immigration has slowed (other than the children fleeing Guatemala and other hell holes)
