Beck is correct:
There is nothing in Trump’s past that shows he’s a conservative.
Hannity was busted by Beck on why it was so important to judge Obama on his past yet he ignores everything in Trumps past.
What Glen doesn’t ‘get’ is that it is not a matter of trust. The crowd in DC has already made us distrust everything a politician says.
It is about the message and Trump’s apparent willingness to take on the PC police and not back down.
Huh. You’re right in that they all do convey a sort of weakness and almost weird immaturity of presence.
Beck’s a grandstander with melodramatic tears. And I’m never entirely convinced this whole conservative shtick of his isn’t some joke that went horribly wrong and he’s just playing out the string (he was a radio comic before, and he did name his production company after Welles’ company that pulled the biggest accidental hoax in history). Plus he backed Romney. I didn’t say Hannity knows #$%^ about $#%^, I just said I don’t understand why conservatives trust Beck.
I never cared much for his "dramatics". I always assumed he was doing it for theater, to entertain, to keep folks with short attention span syndrome interested long enough to learn something. To that effect, I'm sure it worked.
Your statement is rich.
Trump has a best a checkered past.
Republicans in the last ten years have at best a checkered past.
One could ask why conservatives are willing to trust another Republican other than Trump when the result is that we are always going to get screwed.
At this point Republicans have lied so much that there is no downside to going with Trump.
If any other Republican is elected I know what we are going to get.
May as well go with Trump. He may surprise.
I don’t understand it either.
I fear expectations like this are where deism, or an over optimistic Christianity that thinks the viable plan is to push the world uphill till it becomes perfect in place, will take us.
And it will bog your life down as it stubbornly fails to be fulfilled.
I can’t argue with any of that . . . which is exactly why I and millions of other conservatives are willing to give Donald Trump a serious look.
Problem is I think the whole thing is theater to entertain. And I just don’t believe a word he says. I really think he was trying to do a Colbert and the jokes landed wrong and instead he became a conservative icon.
The movement Obama rode in on, loved everything about this outlaw.
Might as well at least have our own outlaw.
Jealous of the spot light.
Rush was saying yesterday that the punditry believes reality is where they work and talking to their colleagues.
Reality for the voters is main street where Trump lives. He may be wealthy but he has to be tuned in.
The Republican candidates are all overshadowed by the establishment. I even read a Cruz article that said that over 90% of his superpac donors were large donors.
since we have been absolutely totally screwed by the Republicans and the media, there is no downside to going with Trump. We have nothing to lose. We have lost everything with the Republicans.
In the meantime the Republicans and the media don’t understand what is happening because reality to them is Washington DC and their cushy offices. It is so apparent they have no idea how or desire to understand the electorate which is why they do not understand why Trump is winning. Not even Glenn Beck.
First of all, what Limbaugh does is similar: entertains, in part, to keep people with ADS interested long enough to learn something.
Secondly, how can you not believe a word he says when you have the ability to verify for yourself and see that most of it is in fact true. The commie organizations, their histories, their various front groups, their allies and supporters in the democrap party, their objectives, on and on. This stuff easily checks out. Trust me.
‘. For my entire adult life as a self-described conservative, I always had a sharp trust and faith in the individual over the state. That’s totally died for me in the past handful of years, as I’ve seen the country’s culture and character slide into the sewer. Hence, I now no longer have any faith or trust in the American individual either”
That about nails it for me too.
Is it because they trust Trump? Or because they don’t trust the rest of the people running, most of whom are run-of-the-mill professional politicians?
I believe that’s the picture that God wanted people to get in the first place.
We are all cases of sinnerhood and we can’t even get civic approximations of virtue right.
People still trust truth, though. And if a fellow with a waffler history yet manages to start up a pretty solid fountain of it. they see hope.
