To all patriots who support Trump and who watched the Republican Presidential debate the other night in Greenville, South Carolina. I speak to you as a conservative who is as frustrated with Obama and the Republican elite establishment as you are.
That said, I am having great difficulty understanding the rational for the continued Trump support after the debate.
Do you really think that a Republican was the reason for 9/11?
Do you really believe Trump when he said Bush lied on purpose about Iraq?
Do you really believe Trump that Bush lost the Iraqi war instead of the truth which is that Bush won the Iraqi war and then Obama walked away from an Iraqi victory and it is Obama’s failures that brought about ISIS?
Trump has made charges that even the hardest of all Democrats are unwilling to make. We don’t advance and win the White House by agreeing with the Democrats in their wild conspiracy theories.
What about Trump’s stance on foreign policy? We see the impacts to our national security from Obama leading from behind. Trump’s vision is similar to Obama’s. He wants to make other nations fight our interest and wants to allow Russia to continue in its fight against the interest of the United States. Trump cannot even recognize the obvious that Russia is not attacking ISIS. Is Trump that naive like Obama? Great, the same Americans that flocked to support Obama now race to Trump with the same results being achieved.
I was giving Trump the benefit of the doubt until the other night when he quickly shed any pretense that he was anything but another liberal clone. For any conservative who supports Trump, wake up. Trump is not a conservative and no Republican should be snickered to think otherwise.
We are mutually tired and sick at our Republican Party establishment that has failed to stand up against the Obama juggernaut. Obama was elected by mainstream media that built him up to a God celebrity status. Trump is another renowned celebrity king and once again the entertainment mind-set is predominate and runs amok in our pick for our next President.
Wow, after the Obama disaster, why follow and place your dreams on a man of little statue, integrity, honor, or character to our highest office. I just don’t get it. I agree with some of the arguments of Trump, but I don’t trust his character or his integrity to follow through on his promises. Already he has backtracked. He speaks in platitudes when he is not heaving personal attacks against a fellow Republican. He has little capacity of the historical facts to take great advantage of Hillary or Bernie during a debate.
Trump incessantly speaks about his negotiation skills. Yes, we are mad as heck about our Republican leader’s failure to fight Obama, Reid, and Pelosi, but if you listen to Trump, his great asset he states is his negotiating skills with Democrats. Really? He said he would not use the Executive Privilege to force his opinions and he has repeatedly attacked conservative Republicans like Cruz for fighting against Obama. So then what can we really expect from a Trump negotiation with a potential Democrat controlled Senate after 2016? Do you really think Trump will fight for conservative principles? Keep dreaming?
Heck, think about the reality of the Supreme Court under a Trump Administration. He recently stated that former liberal Republican Senator Brown would be a good Supreme Court candidate. That said, in your heart, how do you reconcile the notion that Trump will appoint a conservative legal scholar on the Supreme Court? Please, stop being delusional and don’t place dreams upon Trump that he will not meet for a second. Go ahead and nominate more moderate to liberal Supreme Court Justices and you can kiss away your prosperity, gun rights, religious freedoms, freedom of speech, and equal justice under the law. Oh yes, you must like the abuses of the EPA, IRS, overzealous governmental regulations, etc. Keep with Trump and you are guaranteed to live your future in Obama’s transnational system.
It is time to smell the roses my friends instead of being led to the privy. Our nation cannot stand or afford another failure of a President. We cannot elect a Marxist like Bernie, a criminal like Hillary, nor another narcissist like Trump who bellows and attacks across the wide spectrum but under that false facade, there is an empty suit.
Please, let’s not bet our nation’s future on a liberal who turned conservative and then sways with the wind when it suits his interest.
The time for reflection is upon us. Do not be swayed by me, the media, or Trump’s lofty words. Think historically of what the Presidency stood for and the caliber of the man elected to that esteemed office. Obama subverted our constitution and failed the leadership test. I beseech you, do not allow yourself, my fellow Americans, to chase in vein the same pipe dream and failed entertainer leadership.
Obama and all our establishment elites on both sides of the isle destroyed our view and respect of government. Let’s not now resort to the same type of flaw character choice for President. Please do not let your short memory abate your duty to this country to elect a President who will secure and protect our liberty, our rule of law, our prosperity, and our national interest.
If people think back to the time right before 9/11, Bush was getting ready for a big amnesty NAU push with Vincente Fox.
Didn’t happen because 9/11 happened.
BS not only did I watch I viewed the video later. You Cruz guys are so willing to twist the truth..
You’re right. I wonder how the “conservatives” for Cruz are handling the fact that it was Reagan who appointed Trump’s sister (who they despise) to the Federal bench. Heads explode, I’m sure!
According to you Trumpbots, Trump can lie, change his positions, claim he could shoot some, or anything else; and you people don’t care and make excuses for him no matter what he does.
Ditto. Seemed to have a lot of good qualities in the beginning.
Over time, his true character has been revealed. He’s a man with no core other than himself. We’d be fools to trust him. We’d be duplicating what so much of the nation believed about Obama - he’s whatever I want him to be.
Hard to believe so many conservatives have lost their discernment - or discarded their values - just because Trump is right on a few major issues.
Last debate the real Trump showed up.
One egomaniac/narcissist has half destroyed our nation; a 2nd one would finish the job.
Flame away, Trumpies.........
I will support who I damned well please and in this election it’s Donald Trump.
Love it. Taken from what some ask about Jesus.......
Good point.
“Last debate the real Trump showed up.”
Yeah, he came out of left field in the last debate. DEEP left field.
Perhaps the GOP should have fought harder to keep those campaign promises over the last few decades. Not a penny more support for the GOP. Trump is tearing the GOP to shreds, and rightfully so. Real patriots support Trump.
DT has been running for POTUS since 1999, plenty of time to construct a coherent platform but he can’t or won’t. Times are too terrifying to support his idle hobby, easy as it would be to succumb to his cult, who have the easiest fanboi situation in political history. Too bad the price of admission is one’s sense of self-preservation and objectivity.
Dear Colonel,
Thanks for the advice, but I am voting for the American this time.
Have a nice day,
jimbo807
Agreed. Disgusting is not an option, Sir.
In case you didn’t know, the two Senators from the state where there is an open position in a US District Court nominate a person they want, and it is very rare for that person to not be confirmed.
And by the way, do you think his sister would have been nominated if Donald wasn’t making huge contributions to the two Senators at the time? Trump may have bought his sister’s appointment to the federal bench.
If you like how America has gone downhill since 1988, vote for the Republican Establishment candidate and keep up that trend.
I want America to be great again. I’m voting for Trump.
9/11 commission is as informative as the Warren commission. The lowly voters are seldom fully informed by those who think they own us.
Oy!
No. I think Trump is capable of asking expert advisors including Cruz for his scotus pick
vote Trump.
Me too. I thought I might be able to vote for him (if forced to), but now I’m not so sure. Honestly, I don’t trust him.
Yes. And I think the polite word would be: "unhinged".
