On immigration all are for deporting the undocumented. All are against any significant immigration reform. Rubio once had more flexible position on this issue, from his gang of eight days, but since then he has backtracked on it ( However they are all accused by others to be secretly in favor of “amnesty”)

Again, there’s a difference between a candidate supporting a particular policy versus inspiring hate because you aren’t white.
Rubio and to a lesser extent Cruz never suggested “mexico isn’t bring their best to america, nor suggest all latinos here illegally are rapists and murderers”. Not did Rubio or Cruz suggest the problem with companies is H1-B indians and asians and China.
And what appears to have happened is as Trump as gained considerable ground on based on his hate tactic, it seems like the rest of the candidates double-downed on stupidity and adopted an equally radical platform, all to win the the most racist voter base in america
Trump basically torpeadoed any chance of any moderate republican voting for this party. In as much I care less about the national elections, as I do about weak voter turnout in CA for the local elections for the GOP, the last thing I would want is for the democrats in CA to regain a supermajority in the state governments. In as much it’s equally bad if the GOP dominates government, it’s just as bad in CA if there’s a supermajority of democrats.

All are against any form of gun control and favor more expansion of guns in American society.

And what has been done about this recently?
[quote]
All are anti abortion. ( Trump, however, acknowledges that sometimes planned parenthood does some good things )
[/quote]
Good point

They favor significantly reduced taxes on the super-rich. Rubio will however throw some bones at non-super-rich in the form of child tax credits.
[/quote]
Hillary would do exactly the same thing. But in addition would end up try taxing the upper middle class more, claiming they were “rich”. Then again, it would probably be a wash, because Hillary is in bed with wall street, so the stock market would probably do alright as well as banks.

Cruz and Rubio favor entitlement reform (i.e. weakening social security, medicare, Medicaid ). Trump is probably not in favor of this.

Good

All would get rid of Obamacare without specifying what will replace it. Trump promises people won’t die for lack of care ( Thank you!). Cruz/Rubio won’t promise that.
[/quote]
We know this will never get repealed.
[quote]
No one will restrain Wall Street & they favor getting rid of Dodd-Frank etc.( And you think Hillary is pro-wall-street). Trump however does not think very highly of the Wall Street traders!
[/quote]
No candidate with the exception of Bernie will ever go head to head against wall street. period. Trump, again, redirects and points the finger at individuals “traders” as the source of problem. Again, his strategy of deflecting hate at the real problem at people versus the policy or corporate entity. See the common theme? Trump gets people rallied up because he points out the problems that america hates (specifically white america). But then, instead of pointing at the real source of the problem, switches-and-baits the cause of the problems at individual groups of PEOPLE, not institutions or policy.

All are for Macho foreign policy. Cruz will carpet bomb Syria. Rubio will pick fights with Putin. Trump will buddy up with Putin. Guantanamo will be refilled. Water boarding will be routine. All will roll back Iran nuclear deal. However Trump may not be as pro-Israel as the other two. Cruz & Trump however, inconsistently, sometimes also take non-interventionist stands on issues like Rand Paul. Rubio is consistently in the neo-con camp.

No one believes in climate change. Nothing will be done there.

Not much has been done the past 8 years. Where’s are green energy policy from the past 8 years?

Rubio/Cruz will nominate conservative justices to Supreme Court. Trump’s position is unclear.
They are all against expansion of LGBT rights, equal pay etc. Trump might be OK with increased minimum wage

Rubio/Cruz are enthusiastically for globalization & trade pacts. Trump is apparently not into those![/quote]
Trump is for sealing the border to anyone not white,sealing opportunities to anyone not white. That in itself trumps (pun intended) any other reason to vote for him in my book.
