No, you clearly don’t get it.
It has nothing to do with Trump’s liberal past or donating to or schmoozing liberals.
I support Trump because he has blown up the absolutely feckless GOP, who couldn’t defeat a community organizer in 2 elections.
I support Trump because he wasn’t in political office cutting deals with and consigning liberal legislation. Yeah, he donated to liberals and may have held their views, but at least he wasn’t in a position where it affected the people.
I support Trump because he is right on the top issues of the day: Immigration, Islam, and Trade. Without these issues, there is no America. There is no good-old U.S. of A. All other issues pale in comparison.
So I hope this helps. You can’t call Trump a liberal but yet ignore the fact that elected Republicans have done zilch at restoring Constitutional government.
Excellent post EEE!
Good post.
Every conservative applauds the wrecking ball that Trump has been to the GOPe and the MSM. It’s great, but does it erase his past liberalism? It does not prove a change in views either, if you believe as I do, that he used that wrecking ball to brilliant tactical advantage: he drove a wedge (you might say stake) into the heart of the the GOPe, practically destroying its control of the primary process and he gained 10’s, if not 100’s of millions of dollars worth of free airtime. I see it as a tactical choice, not a change in ideology.
The fact that Trump has focused his huge spotlight on immigration, Islam and trade is also great, but does it signal a real change in philosophy on his part? Given his very diverse and evolving views on many issues, can you really be confident he will follow through on these? These are genuine questions. I would love to believe that Trump would really do what he says on immigration. Even if it was the only issue, that would go a long way to enabling me to pull the lever for him if he is the nominee.
