Because out of all the candidates, he speaks freely. He doesn't need to lie to buy votes, he doesn't need to be afraid of losing funding, so he says what he believes and even though the stuff coming out of his mouth is "offensive", it's his honest truth.
Oh yes. We have to stop giving money to countries that hate us (ie. the middle east) and only involve ourselves with our allies. We are not the police force of the world. Let the middle east fight and destroy themselves. Secure our borders and enforce our Constitution for [i]American citizens[/i] only.

I would agree with that up to a point. I am all for foreign aid if that aid actually goes to help that nation's people. I would add conditions to foreign aid asking the nations' leaders to account for every cent spent.

Actually, we are, and that is more to our interest than going isolationist. By policing the world it gives The US a legitimate reason for projecting so much power overseas. It also gives our diplomats leverage for peace negotiations when a hostile knows that at any moment they could be hit with a US air strike or special-forces raid. We give that up, and we lose a great deal of influence throughout the world.

If people were busting down doors in your neighborhood killing your neighbors, friends, and/or family members just because you don't believe the exact same way that they do, you would feel different and you would be lying if you said otherwise.

The best way to secure the border is to fix the immigration laws. Until that happens, we will continue to spend an ungodly amount of money on a broken system. As for enforcing the Constitution, I would say that everyone within the US should be bound to it and this is why: the Constitution not only lays out our rights as citizens, but also, basic responsibilities through subordinate laws such as paying taxes or working for a fair wage. If non-citizens were covered by the minimum wage laws (paid the same as citizens), that would remove the perceived competitive advantage they have over citizens and their income would be taxed.
