The political elite do not like outsiders. They threaten the system that keeps recycling the same people and shadow interests in government.
Trump will kick the Left in the teeth...
Something our gelded GOP metrosexuals haven’t got the guts to do...
The answer has nothing to do with Conservatism. Instead it all comes back to the Birth Certificate, the issue the Party Establishment refuses to deal with.
Trump has questionable Conservative credentials, yet Gov. Palin has excellent Conservative credentials and receives similar treatment from the establishment. Point being, anyone outside of the club is going to be attacked. They (the Establishment) seemingly would rather have Obama reelected versus a Republican outsider.
They can attack away at Trump, that's fine with me. But, if they force feed us another squishy Republican all the way to the nomination, I strongly believe there will be a major Third Party candidate.
No, of course you're not a Trump true believer. You just posted a thread defending a lifelong liberal on a staunch conservative political forum and now you want to debate the issue of Trump's politics. One problem. FR is not a liberal debate forum. I suggest you stop drinking the Trump kool-aid and get back on the conservative reservation, asap.
Conservatives need to wake and realize that Trump is waking up voters by taking the fight to Obama, while the pipe smokers sit around and think.
OTOH, for him to convince me to vote for him? In a two man race with Obama, it's a no-brainer. He's got to clear whatever group of conservatives are fielded against him in the primaries, first though.
I'm all for him doing what he's doing.
Give me conservative any day, however.
Decrease taxes.
Decrease government regulations.
Get government out of our lives.
Tax China.
Who is, “We”?
I think there’s a big differnce between supporting Trump and just standing by quietly while he trashes Obama ands gets big media to pay attention. I wouldn’t vote for him for dogcatcher, but he is saying all the things the PC types don’t dare to say, and Obamas numbers keep dropping.
I won’t trash him because I know he isn’t a serious candidate. He would never turn the empire over to his children to ruin- or disclose his real net worth.
Does anyone think he has a chance in IOWA, New Hampshire or SC? Please!
It's enjoyable to see someone, anyone, go after Obama the way Trump is, and seeing him get in the face of the liberal media. He's fearless. It's FUN to watch and will help our success in the next election.
We all know that Trump is not conservative. Who knows what motives he has.
Hear, hear!
Nobody’s bigger than the game. Nobody’s above scrutiny and criticism. If incumbent presidents of our own party are not, presidential candidates who just crashed the party certainly are not. Even if they’re Forbes 400 eligible. Maybe even especially not then.
