Just keep bringing up Trump quotes from years ago. Whatever you're doing is working well for him.
Well, what he’s doing and what Trump fans like MSNBC is doing. I watched some of their programming last night because I do random things like that on occasion. Every show, Trump was the lead story, and almost the sole story, or at least the dominant one, on several of them. No, they weren’t praising him. But even though they were kind of laughing at him, they weren’t really burying him either. They were keeping him front and center on everybody’s mind while ignoring literally every other candidate for the most part.
I did think, begrudgingly, that they had a point about what was handed out at his press conference if that was the main piece to it. Unless they purposefully glossed over that(which is possible, it’s MSNBC) in his campaign packet were no policy papers, no information on his campaign, no proposals or issues. It was screen shots from political and news shows which showed how he was doing in the polls.
But anyway, Trump at best is a guy trying to learn how to be a conservative. At worst he’s a liar pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. Those quotes from zman aren’t all from “years ago”. His admiration for the Canadian healthcare system wasn’t. His Planned Parenthood remarks aren’t. Obviously this isn’t. He inevitably falls backward into liberalism or at best “mushy moderatism” when he gets stuck on something.
But even with that, I wouldn’t care so much if it weren’t for a few things. If people like Trump, good for them. But the believing him on his words only because “he’s not a politician”, defending him like he’s your favorite uncle or even your dad when someone criticizes him, and rationalizing and deflecting from EVERY SINGLE POINT OF CRITICISM of the man, and the veritable hero worship, well that’s all a bit creepy and concerning to me.
