My 'cancer to conservatism', right or wrong!

If Ajax didn't vote for Robert Byrd when he lived in West Virginia that'd be utterly bizarre. He talks a good game about being a loyal Republican, but former KKK member Robert Byrd is about as close of a match in politics to his that I'm aware of.

I wasn't even old enough to vote for Robert Byrd. Byrd was revered for pork barreling in WV. Sorry but big government is not what I'm about. Robert Byrd was about protecting the interests of labor vs. the coal companies. Most people in WV were ignorant to the tidal wave of illegal immigration that was approaching from Latin America and the problems it would cause for native born Americans.

Robert Byrd's policies on immigration and free trade are very similar to Bernie Sanders before he realized he needed the Latino vote in a presidential election. That being said, neither Robert Byrd nor Bernie Sanders were wrong about everything.

Since Ajax is a Republican who has voted for McCain and Romney, Ajax should be voting for Trump during this general election.

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval Says He Will Now Support Trump

With John Kasich of Ohio dropping out of the GOP nomination race, Latino Republicans are now faced with two choices; to vote or not to vote for Donald Trump. For Hispanic Republican leaders, it also involves making the decision to publicly support the controversial presidential candidate even though they may have vocally opposed him in the past.

Governor Brian Sandoval of Nevada, one of two state governors of Hispanic heritage, announced that he would support Donald Trump come November, though he had made it clear in the past that he was far from a Trump fan.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner last December when the party was flush with candidates vying to represent the party on the national ticket, Sandoval warned the GOP about the damage Donald Trump would do in the party's efforts in attracting Latino voters. "I'll put it this way: I disagree with him and I have said that publicly," said Sandoval. "It is not good for the Hispanic community and they are not reacting well to it."

Sandoval supported Marco Rubio and more recently supported John Kasich as the more moderate candidate over the conservative Ted Cruz. But he wrote in a statement posted on Facebook that voting for the Democratic nominee was "simply not an option".

However, Trump is still going to end up losing Nevada to Hillary during the general election.

We should all be voting for Trump during this general election.

Sorry but big government is not what I'm about.

Except that you want them to set up a brand new Mexican wall committee. And a kick out the illegals committee. And you probably want them to return to regulating women's bodies. And make the military bigger.

When will all this new gov't end? Don't we want to shrink the gov't?

If we can't have a border, I'm not sure we can even have a country. As Trump succinctly put it, "We either have a country or we don't."

Well, Senator McCain is now officially supporting Trump for President.

However, Senator McCain now officially supporting Trump for President may end up costing him his Senate seat to Democratic Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick.

That definitely changes my opinion of Sen. McCain. Being willing to stand up for the party even if it costs your Senate seat is something we need more of

Is this close to Ajax's position on Donald Trump?

Donald won me over when he got serious about enforcing the border and protecting American jobs. Unless he does a 180 on that, I'll be loyal to Trump from this day forward.

Trump has never gotten serious about the border or protecting American jobs. He has used illegal labor and he has moved many jobs to other parts of the world. He gives no specific's on how he is going to deal with illegal immigration or protecting American jobs. It's just trust him, and like a sucker you are doing just that. Saying he will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it is just words without any substance. He doesn't address the costs of building and maintenance of a wall, or how he can realistically get Mexico to pay for it. We don't see him deal with areas where a river separates the two countries, or how a wall will be effective at keeping illegals out. You think being president is the same as being dictator. Hes not even going to win the election and it's not because he said he would build a wall.
