Trump, Kelly, Beck, and the “#NeverTrumpers”

He (Trump) was fight­ing and contin­ues to fight not only those on the Democ­rat Side of the aisle who are deter­mined to make the Queen of Mean Hillary Clinton our next Presi­dent, but also those Repub­li­cans and self-proclaimed “True Conser­v­a­tives.” They want to keep Trump from becom­ing Presi­dent of the United States of America at all costs, even if it means sacri­fic­ing our children’s and grandchildren’s future to do it. Chief among those “leading the charge,” if you will, has been self-proclaimed “Liber­tar­ian” Glenn Beck. Beck who over the past few years has transi­tioned from being an insight­ful polit­i­cal analyst with Conser­v­a­tive Leanings, to being a Modern Day Elmer Gantry with a bit of Lonesome Rhodes thrown in for good measure.

Virtually ALL of the DC establishment is scared to death of Trump. Left, right, doesn’t matter. He is their bogeyman.

‘.. to being a Modern Day Elmer Gantry with a bit of Lonesome Rhodes’...

Oh geeze, that’s PERFECT. I said PT Barnum, but this is MUCH better.

Beck has often spoke out in favor of the War on Some Drugs, so in no way can he be counted as a libertarian, small ‘l’ or otherwise.

Lonesome Rhodes was a countrified gabber with Will Rogers-esque senses who created a sensation on TV — it was a movie and Lonesome was played by a young Andy Griffith.

Lonesome got really famous and had a following, even to the point of being raised up as a candidate, until he was exposed as a mentally imbalanced charlatan.

Yeah, sounds a bit Beckish, at that.

That's one of the main reasons for his level of support. The DC establishment is loathed across the political spectrum.

Which sort of Conservative are you?

(2.1 Liberal conservatism
2.2 Conservative liberalism
2.3 Libertarian conservatism
2.4 Fiscal conservatism
2.5 National and traditional conservatism
2.6 Cultural and social conservatism
2.7 Religious conservatism
2.8 Progressive conservatism)

Maybe just belief in the Almighty first, American second, Constitutionalist third would be enough.....to elect a real American to lead our country. Not ever again this:

The faux “True Conservatives” in Washington and the RNC might have their thongs in a wad, but many (most?) guy-in-the-street conservatives
have been supporting Trump because of his announced policies on the border wall, muslim immigration, free trade, rebuilding the military, etc.

The differences between Donald Trump and whichever socialist the Democrat Party nominates are clearer than many will acknowledge.

What is even clearer is that anyone -- for any reason and regardless of their "established political credentials" -- who so hates Donald Trump that they would provide support to the election of whichever socialist candidate the Democrats run neither supports conservative or traditional American values nor can consider themselves a defender/protector of the Constitution.

This is no more complex than that!

Liberal-tarian has no meaning anymore. Progressives call themselves liberal-tarians. Their social views and hatred for Christianity/morality fits right into liberal-tarianism. They are amoral and respect no ethic...progressive.

For an extra five points name the cheerleader that Lonesome married in that movie.

Andy was much more Lonesome Rhodes than he ever was Andy Taylor.
