I like him for his boldness and fighting spirit too - but when you drill down, he’s a policy weenie. The public bluster has you totally bamboozled.
I’ve written numerous articles about Trump, and how his fighting tone attracts people who he really doesn’t agree with, because they want a fighter. You are part of that crowd that’s been fooled.
There is a fighter in this race who has impeccable conservative credentials.
“The public bluster has you totally bamboozled.”
The only candidate who stayed true to his “public bluster” was Ronald Reagan. Here in Louisiana Bill Cassidy said everything right, we had no other real choice, we put him in office, and in literally THREE DAYS he betrayed us with his vote on the budget. Ditto Bobby Jindal, who said EVERYTHING right, and is about to leave office with the state budget, and other things, in absolute shambles. What a candidate says is what we have to go by, unless they have a voting record. If a candidate is too timid to step up and attack the forces that are destroying the nation, then I cross him off. How much more so if they VOTE for those forces, as in a trade agreement. Trump has been attacking those destructive forces consistently for years. How can an “impeccable conservative” vote to empower Obama on trade? Call for more H-1B visas? Call for more legal immigration (already over a million per year)? The only Reagan-like candidate in my estimation would be Senator Jeff Sessions, and he is not running. People change and progress through life. You can never really know. (As for bluster, everyone I’ve ever met from New York City had that attitude.)
