“Trump says he’ll repeal it”
See.. therein lies the problem. Trump has said many self-contradictory things over the years that should raise many red flags among .. of all people .. FReepers. The love for this guy is a very strange dynamic. I for one don’t trust him and never will.
None of these guys are ultimately trustworthy.
A Democrat is pretty trustworthy for doing at least as much as he/she will say—if not more.
But Republicans? They usually tell the base that they’re gonna do whatever they need to say to get elected. And then they conspire with the Democrats to do no more than a quarter of it, tops.
Trump? When he worries me is when he goes on about “having a heart”. That is to me like W, the “compassionate conservative” who ballooned our budget and entitlements beyond all respectability.
Having, as a businessman, evolved in his positions over the decades isn’t as big a deal to me as being a career-long politician weasel. So maybe some others see it a bit like me.
For the record, Trump still makes me nervous, I’ll admit, but he and Cruz are the two I’d back right now, and as long as Trump stays in front, I’ll consider him the more electable and hope he picks Cruz for his veep.
So yes, I can understand some nervousness about Trump—but pretty much all the standard GOP pols rightly make me nervous too!
