One of the things I look for when deciding about a candidate is their political advisors. Since 2012, my pick had remained Rick Perry. However, I was somewhat surprised when he attacked DT right out of the gate. But I was still supporting him. THEN I found out that he had hired Steve Schmidt and Nicole (can't remember how she spells it) Wallace, as well as Hayley Barbour and his brothers. Schmidt and Wallace worked for McCain in 2008 and were active in the sabatoogery of Sarah Palin (Katie Couric interview, campaign buying her clothes, etc.). The Barbours were VERY involved in the 2014 debacle of a reelection campaign of Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi. Worse than dirty tricks against the popular Tea Party guy in that race; you can read about it here: http://onenewsnow.com/perspectives/bryan-fischer/2014/07/01/the-smoking-gun-massive-voter-fraud-in-cochran-mcdaniel-primary and here: http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/03/politics/mcdaniel-cochran-mississippi-challenge/ All are GOPe hacks of the lowest order. So, that killed Perry for me.
Conversely, what put me more firmly in DT's camp was when I found out that the most excellent Sen. Jeff Sessions is advising him on border/immigration, and that the most excellent John Bolton is advising him on foreign affairs.
