This is why we need Donald Trump:

If you watched the Jan. 17 Democratic debate, then you will have watched the exchange between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, where Sanders heatedly said nothing would ever change as long as Wall Street, super PACs, and billionaires were funding the presidential candidates. Hillary had her smiley face on as she listened to Sanders as if she had no response. How could she, considering that Wall Street, super PACs, and billionaires were her big benefactors.

Donald Trump is getting no funds from any of those sources. Donald Trump will be beholden to no one. Donald Trump's only agenda is to get America back on track. We need to do something different in this election, and that is elect a man that has America's best interest as his agenda.

Making America safe, create jobs and an immigration policy that works for all.
