Ignoring ideology in who you elect is like trying to sail across the Atlantic without a compass. It’s ideology that tells the leader in what direction to lead. The right ideology is an absolute requirement.

Patton was a great leader. If his ideology was Naziism, where would we be today?

If Trump leads the country to nationalized health care, expanded NSA powers, Supreme Court justices that favor abortion, etc. how is that a good thing?

I would rather someone who had the wrong ideology was a TERRIBLE leader so he would never get his goals met.

Once again, tell me which parts of the ideology you are willing to sacrifice and exactly what goals/achievements you’re getting met in return for that with Trump.

I don’t think Trump has leadership qualities.

He started out being noticed because of his wealth and celebrity. He had some kind of reality show that I never watched.

What that celebrity did was get him publicity. He was able to get press on everything he said because he was The Don.

How is that gonna work when he is in actual government? Is he gonna say I’m not gonna give my state of the union address if Fox let’s Megyn Kelly cover it.

He’s only courageous when he’s totally insulated. Maybe he can work that for a long time.

That’s a nice bit of philosophizing but it isn’t in touch with the reality today.
People want a) a wall, b) defeat of ISIS/Muslim BroHood/Iran/Jihad/whatever you want to call it c) a growing economy.
If Trump does all this and follows the Constitution, he will be remembered as a GREAT PRESIDENT. And that assumes he will do ONLY those things.

Does not look like the propaganda is working?
