So why don't I like Donald Trump?
The Briefing Room ^ | October 4, 2015 | andy58-in-nh/Andrew Kone

Posted on 10/11/2015 10:42:04 AM PDT by EveningStar

I'm a Tea Partier. I detest Obama and the Progressive hoard that has Washington, DC and large portions of America in a death grip. So why don't I like Donald Trump?

Honestly, sometimes I wonder what the hell is wrong with me these days. Why can't I get on the bandwagon along with so many others with whom I agree about most everything? ...

So what's the problem with Trump? In a nutshell: judgment, or rather a deficit of it, which in turn ought to make reasonable people otherwise inclined to agree with him to perhaps, think a bit harder about the consequences of their support for him in a precarious and dangerous world ...

“So what’s the problem with Trump? In a nutshell: judgment, or rather a deficit of it”

Opinions are like Aholes, everybody’s got one.

I wish I had Trump’s lack of judgment I’d be worth $10 billion.

>>but basically a reality television character.

Trump existed as a successful businessman long before reality TV. Don’t buy into the GOProgressive meme that he’s a “reality star-turned-businessman”. Believing their lies destroys your credibility.

Maybe it's really Carly "Secretariat" FioRINO and her favorite donor, Cruz PAC? Hmmmm...not sure.

Trump haters keep looking at his old history. It does not matter to them that he was not a politician. They do not understand how a large PRIVATELY held business must be run in a hostile political blue state. So they conclude Trump is not a rock hard social conservative. They know he will not strap bombs to his body and enter an abortion clinic. They do not understand the fiscal conservatism of a rich man who pushed for paying off the national debt, costing 14% of his own wealth. Basically these Trump haters do not care about fiscal issues.

But the clinching point for Trump haters is that their own candidate, is well known for a take no prisoners social conservative. To them that is the overriding issue. They are mostly single issue voters. It burns them up that finally they have such a candidate in the race, and Trump is polling consistently 4 times better. They are consumed with frustration.

Tumbly must prefer the lies of Bonehead and MConnell
than the “great quips” from Trump.

"Just as some conservative women who didn’t like Palin were seen as jealous, some conservative men should be seen as disliking Trump out of envy."

LOL, sure.

As someone who was born, raised, and lives in rural Virginia, I can tell you that the men here don't need some yelling Manhattanite who eats pizza with a fork to teach them about manhood.

I think we can trust him Laz.

Look, we’re heading over the abyss....he’s trying to stop the fall
....why not give Trump our support

He’s spending his time, his money, his energy, his ingenuity, his passion on this campaign.

ALL our enemies hate him.....ALL
He’s exposing stuff that has needed exposing for a long time.
He takes it on the chin daily.

I want to trust him......I’m ready to trust him.

I think he is a populist.

There is a big difference.

Trump is an excellent executive. Personally, that is the reason he might be worth voting for. It’s time we had someone who can actually make a decision.

But If he wins, there are going to be a lot of people around here who will be disappointed when he starts cutting deals.

But we will see.

There is no comparison between Goldwater and Trump.

And I didn't mean to make one. Goldwater was a proven, authentic conservative. Trump...I like like what he's saying, but who really knows for sure?

The point I was trying to make was about the smear (or the charge, if you will). Goldwater: Unfit to be POTUS due to judgment issues. Can't be trusted with the nuclear button. On and on it went.

The article is following that same path with Trump. It's up to the reader to decide what's true there. For me personally, I trusted Goldwater's judgment. And I tend to trust Trump's. Neither could have gotten as far as they did by being erratic. But that's just MHO.

‘You sound like GOPe.

Did you even read the post? It wasn’t about being cool. It was about reaching voters the GOP candidate normally doesn’t reach.
