Turning Against Trump
American Thinker ^

Posted on 02/21/2016 11:42:37 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

People who pride themselves on rational thinking know there are few feelings worse than being wrong about something, especially something that they made a big noise about at the time. What helps lessen this intellectual humiliation is understanding that, given the information available at the time, the decision was a rational one at the time. The remedy for the initial error is to use the newly available information to reach a more reasoned decision.

As the campaign season goes forward, we're learning more about Donald Trump's politics and seeing his initial ebullient puckishness too often give way to self-referential arrogance and venomous hubris. Now is a good time for Trump supporters to use this new information to revisit their original conclusion about him and to realize, with no shame attached, that he's not the candidate they thought he was...

“When Trump wins, they will be as irrelevant as the GOPe open border flacks and any other pundit paid by them.”

You actually think Trump intends to build the wall on the southern border, don't you?

Let me ask my question another way: You actually think Trump will build the wall on the southern border, don’t you?

Glenn Beck and his fasting ferrets have a great ground game and will take NV from Trump with ease.

Going to be exciting to read all the negative articles and listen to the pundits trash Trump and berate those who voted and intend to vote for him.

Cruz will be out of cash shortly, so open up your checkbooks and send him some cash. The SuperPacs are moving on the robot rubio.

I’ve seen GIFs on here touting Trump,as Napoleon. I hope the people posting those are just ignorant and not actually yearning for an autocrat.

Posting a bunch of drivel from a guy who sounds suspiciously like C Edmund Wright isn’t going to help Teddy.

Ok, given that GOPe has breached their pledge to him as well as their duty to their supporters, which is more important, Trump's so-called pledge to GOPe or Trump's covenant with the voters of this country to represent their interest?

Well, here's the pledge Trump signed, and it seems pretty clear to me. I don't see any asterisks with a side note about anything else being promised to him in return.

When interviewed by a Town Hall reporter, Trump said he had "no intention" of reconsidering the promise: "I see no circumstances under which I would tear up that pledge," he said, calling the pledge "total."

I understand he wants to be treated fairly, but that didn't become a condition until a month and a half after he signed the pledge. His position seems a bit over conveniently flexible. I've known people like this before, and I don't trust them.

Having said that, I'll vote for whoever the Republicans nominate, because to do otherwise is political suicide.

I continue to be amazed that in this part of the process folks are still trying to push this “favor-ability” nonsense down our throat. Voters in NH & SC thus far have found him “favorable” because he won both of those primaries by double digits. Polls are showing he is considered massively “favorable” in Nevada & in the states to come.

Remember, 77% of primary voters in SC found Cruz & Rubio to be UNFAVORABLE.

Another lawyer like Cruz, Obama, Jfk? Hope not!

Hey at least you are honest about it. Good for you.

Try posting like a human being instead of as a lawyer.

When you become a lawyer, remember the best compliments/references you can ever get, You would never know he is a lawyer!

How do you get paid for posing on FR?

Have a good day and life.

Another neocon blog heard from. Hopefully Trump will be able to deport millions of illegals and cut down on work visas and this guy will be able to get an honest job.

Well, if I could be a lawyer half as good as Cruz, Scalia, or Thomas I will have achieved something.
