Donald Trump is a pig in a poke.

You have to elect him to see what’s in there.

Or, you could simply look at the plain evidence that he was a hardcore liberal his whole life, until he decided to run for president as a Republican in 2016.

“Donald Trump is a pig in a poke. You have to elect him to see what is in there.”

The same applies to all the candidates. We’ve been bamboozled by numerous “dyed-in-the-wool conservatives” before.

Trump is a populist demagogue. He quite accurately discerned what was troubling many conservatives (mostly illegal immigration) and got in front of that issue. He then adopted a few more conservative stances that he had ridiculed or had been at odds with previously..

But he still panders whenever necessary. Like on ethanol for Iowans.

Trump supporters not caring what he has ever done or said, even yesterday is insanity.
They attack other candidates, ie Rubio - WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM he changed his mind on one thing.
Yet they blindly accept without logic or reason every red flag about Trump and there are many substantial ones.
DT is now talking about Ted’s temperament which is hysterical.
Ted is calm, he engages people with different believes and NEVER degrades them.
What a contrast.

The people have been asleep at the wheel while the nation drifted leftward off of the road. People suddenly awoke, jerked the wheel hard right — it is called over correcting — and unless they calm down enough to think this through and get hold of their mentally facilities, we are destine to lose control of the nation and careen out of control beyond the emergency lane to the right. Trump does not have the moral senses to navigate back into the lane. He definitely sees many of the problems and proclaims he is the answer, but he is DUI - intoxicated with himself. The Trumpaholics riding in the vehicle with him have no clue, this could be their last ride. I have felt for a long time it would be Obama who destroyed the nation, and he certainly has. But if Trump drives us over the cliff, it is the end of conservatives. The nation will jerk hard left again and there will be no more opportunity to bring the vehicle back under control. The right will have lost all credibility, both the Establishment and those who thought to have the answer in opposing it. The wrong solution to a problem may be more deadly than the problem. It is the cure that sometimes is more fatal than the disease. Trump is no conservative, he is riding a wave of nationalism, which absent moral values and principles will lead to absolute chaos.

You don’t READ a bill. You vote for it, then find out what it said. You pass it to find out what will happen under it.

You don’t watch a candidate. You vote for him and then find out what he will do when he does it. Just like America did with Obama in 2008...

No need to vet anything. No need for thought. Makes life very simple.
