Bump
I've been around New York City long enough to know what the guy is all about, and I'm OK with it because I'm not voting based on his positions on anything (I don't trust his positions on anything). I'm voting for him because I want to see the entire political establishment in Washington -- Democrat and Republican alike -- turned completely upside down.
I've said from the start that Trump is likely to turn out to be a very erratic person in public office, and that many of his strongest supporters here on FreeRepublic could eventually get to the point where they'd deny ever voting for him.
There's a reason why this election has involved almost NO conversation about substantive issues. Hillary Clinton has nothing to say on these issues because the most recent Wikileaks dump demonstrates that she's full of sh!t from top to bottom (see "public position" vs. "private position" item of note). Trump has very little to say because he's never reflected on these issues much at all -- and has probably taken five different positions on any given issue, anyway. In Trump's case there is nothing wrong with that, because I'm not voting for a serious man. I'm voting for a clown ... and he's OUR clown.
PING!!!

Attacks on Trump coming from Republicans not Democrats
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_fUFRQVDYA
Excerpted from # 60, (my parentheses):
Trump is not a Democrat. He is not running on their ticket. He is not running on their agenda.
Do you think Hillary could run on his platform? Do you think any Washington Democrat could?
Then who is Trump one of?
Is he a part of the Democrat party he is now trying to unravel?
Mb>Is he a part of the GOPe that trashes him non-stop for the last year?
Is he a part of the folks who push the Liberal Leftist agenda?
Is he a supporter of Hillary Clinton, her husband, or the platform she is hawking?
He is none of those things. This means he is not supporting a Liberal or Leftist candidate or agenda. Neither are FReepers!
Look at who his enemies are.
The Liberal Left
The Democrat party
The Republican Party
The GOPe
The RNC
Hillary Clinton and her husband
Barack Obama
The nation's rabidly Leftist print and news media
The Leftist talking heads/pundits
The major Leftist internet blog-spots
Even some of the old places we used to think were on our side, have now lined up with the above people and groups.
Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levine have joined in trashing Trump.
Who is pushing our agenda right now? The above people or Trump?
The answer is Trump.
Everything I have touched on above reveals Trump to be one of us, not one with the above people or entities.
Trumps agenda (platform):
Do away with Obama's sans-Constitutional Executive Orders
Make good sound Supreme Court nominations
Bring his unquestioned CEO skills to the Oval Office.
Get our national debt under control, implement studies and new programs to stop what has been taking place, massive deficit spending, begin to retire the debt
Build a wall, support the INS
Deport any illegal aliens that are engaged in illegal or anti-American activity ASAP
Deport other illegals and end programs that give them goods and services (i.e., Food stamps, Free medical care, Free education)
End sanctuary cities
End rampant relocation of people from terrorist nations to the U. S., or at the very least vet them better
Rebuild the Military
Take on Planned Parenthood and it's eugenics related mass genocide
End the Washington based Department of Education, and it's (UN and) Washington Driven agenda, including Common Core and other pie in the sky Leftist pogroms
Get our citizens back to work
Rebuild the coal industry
Implement policies, rework trade agreements, and devise tax strategies that will see the U. S. become more competitive, bring jobs brought back to the U. S., spark more manufacturing and a more reasoned process
Put an end to the global warming hysteria, don't play into it and dismantle the infrastructure that is already in place to hobble our business and nation
Do away with massive over regulation of businesses in the U. S.
Extend the hand of fellowship to just about any nation that wants to have good relations with the U. S., and realistically address those who don't.
Restore and strengthen our traditional allies
Rework our agreements that result in our protectorates contributing more to their own defense
Talk softly, but carry a big stick. Don't make enemies where there are none, and try to patch up deteriorating relations with possible allies
Quit meddling in Syria.(Are 0bama and illary still searching for the ten Billion dollars in gold?)
Reform our relations with our major ally Israel, and quit trying to harm it every way possible.
Develop a new more realistic relationship with China, one that treats it fairly, but doesn't sell our nation out in the process.
Even if you don't quite believe he'll do all of this, compare it to what Hillary will do. I defy you to think he fails this test.
Even if you don't quite believe he'll do all of this, compare it to what the two Bushes did. I defy you to think he fails this test either.
He is simply the best chance we have had at rectification since President Reagan. What's more, it will be another thirty years before someone else comes along to do these things, if ever.
This is our agenda. With regard to his platform, he is clearly one of us.
Summation:
I could go on with more things he has supported in his platform, but please tell me what is Liberal or Leftist about any of this?
Would the DNC back any of this? Would Hillary? Would Obama? Would any of the Senate or House Democrats?
Why do you folks slander Trump when he is trying to implement the very plans we have sought to have implemented over the last thirty years.
Please stop giving the guy your back-hand before saying you will begrudgingly vote for him.
With the above platform, you can drop the Liberal Leftist nonsense, and tell folks you're proud to vote for him.
Who has had this good an agenda since Reagan? Name one person.
A number of things in here are parts of Reagan's agenda, and Trump has actually added in more.
Trump deserves our respect, our accolades, and our vote. Be proud to vote for him.
I'm proud to be backing a man with as solid an agenda as this, and it has been decades since I could say that.
So in all these ways, Trump is one of us.
You should know it.
Talk up Trump. - It has been 30 Years since we've had an America first man at the helm.
It will be at least 30 years before we have another. (IF EVER)
You are missing a once in a generation opportunity to proudly get behind a man who is standing up for you and what you believe.
Is he perfect? Is anyone?
Support him. By doing so you support Conservative principles. That's why Phyllis Schlafley endorsed Trump. She saw this clearly. So should you.
This is crystal clear.
D1——Perfect summation of all salient points.
Your epic post deserves its own thread IMO.
Standing ovation!!
