Well, boy, let me ask you who was the first of the 17 in this primary election cycle to raise these issues?
Did Bush raise the specter of hordes of illegals crossing the southern border having a deleterious effect on our economy, our country, our future?
Did Lindsey Graham shout from the rooftops that our BOP position is untenable, is dangerous, and contributes mightily to the further deterioration of our currency?
Did Marco Rubio look at the world's state of affairs, and blatantly propose we seriously take a look at immigration from Islamic countries, and ACT on it?
Did Senator Cruz warn us loudly and often that the nuclear deal with Iran was not just a bad deal, but endangers our future?
The list, unfortunately, goes on.
Sure - there's been a lot of talk about these issues in Conservative trenches, but where has the spotlight, the speeches, the debates been on these issues NATIONALLY?
Where do we see them discussed on Sunday mornings on Meet The Press, et al, sans Donald Trump's emergence?
While for the past decade or better Trump has been a businessman and TV personality, there are those of us who can point to many “conservative” figures in that same time span who have been “dancing, entertaining and funding” for and around issues that are, and have been inimicable to the true Conservative movement.
“Obama’s Republicans”, so to speak.
Oh, caww, I've been paying plenty attention to what's been going on. The real question is, have you?
CA....
Your list is of things he has said since he decided to run for office. How about all those liberals he helped elect that caused those problems!!
I and pretty much everyone is more than aware of this election...just as they were Obama’s......it’s dynamics are more than similar. Just the players are on the other side....
That said....I don’t vote according to mass appeal..we do understand the dynamics of a media trotted out Candidate. In Trumps case he’s played them well likewise they him... because he’s manipulated them for years to his benefit and he’s always saying or doing something outlandish for the press to run with......he just moved it all into the election cycle.
So with this the ground was never a level playing field for any but Trump.....even when others win or Trump looses the media always runs it in relation to Trump.
People are right to say this is all about Hollywood notority ,theatrics and drama....that is what too many voters desire and want...and that is what they will get if Trump wins...... Trump is their Obama!
