I would say, judging by what I have seen of each candidate, that they are all about equal

on some scale of measuring character, values, morals and integrity. None are better than the

rest.

Would you say that Trump is equal to character,integrity,morals and values as is Cruz and Rubio?

Elections are won for the most part by smart campaining. The man who ran Obamas first run said all they did was copy what the GOP did with GW for his second term. And they did it well. They said they could not believe that man got a second term. So they studied how they did it. 

What Trump is doing is playing the hand of percentages and he has a hand of trump cards. Actually no pun intended.  Chick-felay had more business during the month of protest from the gay agenda than any month ever. That's the hand that Trump is playing and at this stage of the game he is winning. People really feel their vote doesn't count so they bought a chicken sandwich and voted and they bought a lot of them. It's an example of the frustration and not pertaining to homo stuff.

Yes,he is winning because he is a very smart business man and he is good at telling people what they want to hear.He is a great manipulator. People are sick of Obama and Trump is reflecting those concerns that people have. He is saying "Vote for me and we will make America great again".

Yes, I would put them all at the same level...

I would not consider him a great business man.  He was born into wealth and privilege and yet somehow managed to go bankrupt.... twice.   I don't know why they can't, at this point, come up with someone better.  Seems ridiculous doesn't it?   Evangelicals are a huge voting block in the block.  They are watching and believe they have their man because Christians, or some, have embraced Trump.  Personally I think ya'll should say you won't vote unless they provide a real stand up guy who has integrity, decency, smarts, self control etc ... not this arrogant mess of a man.

he has never gone bankrupt,    4 of the companies he has had did restructuring chapter 11's, but that is very common in the business world here for a very long time.....    and consider that in the USA 50% of new businesses fail within 5 years, he has done better than the average.

And according to Trump and his siblings, Trump started his personal wealth with a 1 million dollar loan from his father....    the company that his father let him take over was worth between 120 to 150 million, and I don't know if he had to give his brother or sister any of that...   don't really care.

i think you are really arrogant to call Mr. Trump a mess of a man.   All you seem to know of him is what you seem to see on your liberal media....

Actually Trump may be the only one not seeking advice on what he should say do to this or that poll.  Politicians try to be calculating, looking out for their own popularity.  Trump speaks with no regard to political correctness.  Manipulator?  I'll buy that but it is on a different level than these career politicians.  He is who he is.  Vote for him or not.

Sorry, 4, not 2 bankrupties on his big businesses, many of which were gambling casinos (again, how this matters not to Christians is mind boggling) ....   Trump is extremely arrogant, probably a narcissist.  It doesn't matter what i say you will defend him with your last breath and your mind is not going to get changed for anything.  I feel very badly for you.  this is how people become jaded.. They simply can't step back and take a 2nd look, or step back and look at the bigger picture.   :( I am not going to engage you any longer.  Your close mindedness and stubbornness is telling me any sort of attempt at a discussion will not be able to happen.
