“If Trump is the best we can come with, we deserve to be slaves.”
What you are not taking into consideration is that Trump is the only multi-billionaire running, and what ever his leanings are politically, he is not bought and paid for by the big money men. And he’s fed up with the PC crap just like the rest of us are.
He obviously is taking the right approach in the campaign thus far or he wouldn’t be leading in the polls. I’m sure he is not the most conservative, but he probably IS the most conservative that has any chance of winning.
” I’m sure he is not the most conservative, but he probably IS the most conservative that has any chance of winning.”
If polls are accurate and mean anything though, at this point in time that really doesn’t mean a lot, because TODAY that would make him about the ONLY one who has any chance of at least winning the nomination.
Which under those circumstances he could also be the LEAST conservative candidate in the whole field. While I’m not a fan of his, I don’t necessarily think that. But it would be possible.
Trump’s where he is for a few reasons.
He HAS said some good, relevant things that have resonated.
He gets nonstop media coverage, at the expense of pretty much every other candidate in the race.
We’ve become a country obsessed with celebrities. I like to think those of us on the right are more intelligent or use our noodles a little bit more. But, whether we do or whether we don’t, we’re not immune to this undue admiration of some celebrities either.
As I mentioned, I see borderline hero worship of Trump on this board. Actually, it’s probably not even borderline.
