Excuse me, I'm not knocking other "Freepers" as a whole. Most freepers realize Trump is a con-artist. I'm knocking the small minority of freepers on this board who were (and continue to be) convinced Trump is serious about the birther stuff and is some great patriot who is going to take down Obama. Those freepers are wrong, just like the freepers who swooned over Romney in 2008 and fantasized over a "McCain/Romney" ticket. This is a conservative forum and most freepers are solid conservatives. The small minority who are not deserve to have to actions questioned. I'm going to call freepers out who support liberals, sorry if that offends you.
>> proving once again you love the sound of the bite between your lips as you chew on your fellow freepers. <<
Caww, have you looked in the mirror lately? You're projecting.
>> they also know this is political theater....and we all enjoy the “show” when it’s played as that... <<
Really? I talked with numerous pro-Trump freepers on here when he was toying with a Presidential run and they swore he was serious as a heart attack about his patriotic conservative plans and tea-party values. Any attempt to point out Trump's record didn't match his rhetoric and/or pointing out he would be a terrible candidate for the GOP was meet with the grating of teeth and angry "and just who are YOU supporting for President?!" inquiries, as well as them adamantly insisting facts about Trump's long liberal record of supporting universal health care, gun control, wanting Bush impeached for Iraq, applauding Pelosi, etc., were "lies" and "anti-Trump smears"
Doesn't seem to me they realized it was all an sideshow. I find Michael Savage entertaining but I wouldn't insist that he's not only a good choice for President, but the ONLY good person the GOP can run. In fact, I would never recommend that he run for President. I realize Savage is a sideshow act that makes for good radio, and not a serious policy wonk. But I have yet to see any of Trump's fans admit that this egotistical real estate tycoon has no business setting government policy. Usually it's met with "you just ENVY The Donald's brilliance" and "you must be for Obama cuz you don't want The Donald to expose THE TRUTH to America"
>> we play into as well. But you are wrong to underestimate Freepers...absolutely wrong. <<
You are wrong if you think most freepers agree with you caww... absolutely wrong.
You are exactly correct and anyone that says different is full of it. There is a fairly small core of people here that actually believe Trump is someone worth taking seriously (politically) - mostly birthers and protectionist Republicans. When Trump was blathering about birth certificate stuff he had a not insignificant cheering section who got suckered by him. When Trump gets on one of his protectionism tirades he also gets a sizable number of supporters. When the early reporting was that Trump was endorsing Newt, there was plenty of cheering for Donald Trump too.
The fact is, Trump is a political clown. Trump is out for Trump and virtually nothing else. Trump is selling a brand and he tirelessly pimps it at every opportunity. Trumps endorsement of Romney will hurt Mitt more than help him. Trump is NOT a conservative and never was. It is not surprising at all he endorsed the least conservative candidate in the field. I, for one, think this is great. Newt should feel relieved he isn't saddled with this buffoon supporting him.
