Trump: Obama Re-election Cause for 'Revolution'

I’m a lifelong resident of Texas, I suppose that is as good a place to start as any. Our Governor here is often considered a moderate, but I know for a fact he is fed up with Obama’s regime.

STFU Donald.

You don't seem to have a full understanding of revolution. We are not going to be able to save anything good that this nation was built on without a revolutionary sized change that cannot come from working within the broken, corrupt, and unconstitutional system that we are trying to change.

This isn't about whether you like Trump or not. I have never been a fan of his, and I was angered that he gave false hype of his “bombshell”. He just turned what would have been a decent offer into a complete joke with that hype. It still doesn't change the fact that he said the right thing when he said Obama’s reelection is cause for revolution.

A lot of Conservatives boycotted this election, and not because they wanted Obama to win, and not because they were willing to accept his blatant unconstitutional tyranny either.

Peddle your charged words of "revolution!" somewhere else. I understand everyone is upset, but emotional over-reaction (which appears to be the order of the day) needs to be tamped down.

At an intellectual level, of course we need some form of revolution, but that's not what "The Donald" is talking about. He's trying to incite people and stir up trouble, for whatever reasons he has to do so. (Likely just to feel relevant.)

He's no leader, and no friend to conservatives, so the sooner he shuts up and starts finding a way to continue making money in our oligarchy, the better off we'll all be.

This is something I've been promoting since before the election, and I have already talked about those like you who pretend to admire our founding fathers, but can't even comprehend anything they talked about. There are many so-called Conservatives who can't take the words revolution or tyranny serious in modern times when it refers to our nation. There is no situation where you would consider thinking about working outside the system, no matter how broken it is, because you can't fathom having to do anything outside the system no matter what.

You have a fantasy view of our founding fathers as if they are some fictional characters. You don't consider their views valid any longer, and that's why you can't comprehend those views. They would not work within this system, and I think most can agree on that. Our second amendment right was given to protect against a tyrannical government, but many have no idea this is why it was given to us, including many supporters of the right. Those who can't accept what our founders believed was worth fighting for need to accept they have given up.

And you divine all of that because I said that Trump is an arrogant blowhard who is just trying to stir up trouble?

Your powers of perception are amazing. Simply staggering.

Donald really really needs to STFU. Not that long ago he was a democrat, and every single time he’s opened his mouth since then he make republicans look bad. Revolution? Really. How about we just run candidates that don’t suck so people will actually want to vote for them?

It's not because your view of Trump, but your view of revolution. It doesn't matter who said that revolution is needed, because that has no relevance to whether or not you believe it's needed or not. Unless you are just going against anything Trump says, without actually giving it any thought, then you said a lot more than you claim. I don't care about Trump, and I wouldn't defend him. I will defend his call for revolution though. I doubt it's a road he will continue down anyway, and I'm not looking for him to go that way. I think he's better off keeping quite, and using his money to promote ideas. I do think that getting the word out there is important though.
