RE: I am TEA Party and I support Trump!!!
Which ones of Trump’s past statements are Tea Party values?
* Trump supported the bailouts.
* Trump helped finance the Democratic takeover of Congress in 2006, which put in place the liberal majority that passed Obamacare over the objections of congressional Republicans. And he continued to support a Democratic Senate majority after Obamacare.
* He has supported eminent domain when it benefits him.
* Trump supports ethanol subsidies.
*Trump would tell Apple that it should manufacture its products in the US which means that iPhones would cost much more than they do now.
Look, I am not a Trump hater. I’d vote for him if he were a candidate.
But I find it strange that a Tea Partier would overlook his past stances....
This sounds like a triumph of hope over experience.
* Trump supported the bailouts. Bush and the eGOP CREATED those bailouts!
* Trump helped finance the Democratic takeover of Congress in 2006, which put in place the liberal majority that passed Obamacare over the objections of congressional Republicans. And he continued to support a Democratic Senate majority after Obamacare.So did all other political contributors. Besides, Trump didn't do fund so much as to create the entire takeover. Get real.!
* He has supported eminent domain when it benefits him. So has the eGOP
* Trump supports ethanol subsidies.So has the eGOP!
*Trump would tell Apple that it should manufacture its products in the US which means that iPhones would cost much more than they do now. Total BS! Apple made $200 billion cash profits. I think adding $10-$20 per phone won't destroy Apple. Your way of think means NO COMPANY SHOULD EVER MANUFACTURE IN THE USA. Go tit. You are anti-American and believe in supporting foreigners over Americans. What happens when everything is foreign made? Hmmm, who is left to buy those foreign made products??
With you being so anti-American and pro-Chinese, I'll be happy for you not to vote for Trump. I prefer that only Americans vote!
I find it strange the Tea Party sat pretty damn quiet while Boehner and McConnell were shafting the conservative base and willingly going along with Obama's plans.
I doubt most Trumpkin Tea Partiers have ditched their principles to support Trump. But the fact remains Trump has sneered at many Tea Party principles. So why do so many Tea Partiers support Trump knowing his past? (or not knowing his past.)
I think the immigration issue on which Trump has been the strongest voice (and he is right about the issue) has literally "trumped" all other issues to the TPers who support him. They literally can't see any other issue at this time.
Again, that does not mean they've given up their conservative principles. But they might not like what happens if Trump gets elected. However, they were warned.
