“Your attempt to win us over by calling us “Trump Chumps” is not very effective.”
I made a post earlier which linked to a Free Republic thread from four years ago. My post was pulled.
I do not know why, but it is not my site and I respect the moderators for doing what they think is right. I have no complaints.
But the Free Republic thread from four years ago was quite definite. Folks understood very clearly what a dangerous phony Trump was. They even ridiculed the Trump supporters as chumps. You can find the thread by doing a search.
On the thread, Mark Levin was linked and gave a brilliant analysis why only a chump conservative would go for Trump. The facts have not changed.
SORRY, I am wrong. The facts have changed. Now we have a brilliant, witty, highly principled man of extraordinary integrity and amazing ability running for president.
But Trump has beclouded too many conservative minds to see that clearly. His presence with all his football strutting style conservative word-shouting has created a situation where even conservatives think the brilliant, witty, human, highly electable conservative doesn’t have a chance.
Better to go with the trash talker who became one of us seventeen minutes ago! Right? Defend him, cheer him, let the rest of the world know, the conservative pov likes people being called pigs, dogs, losers, weak minded, ugly, garbage. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
I am not trying to win any chump over. Trump does that.
I am simply not going to be politically correct.
In fact, two months ago, I wasn't fond of Trump (at least as a presidential candidate). I also saw him as another Sarah Palin with regard to getting into the race. Always teasing us he might run but never quite doing it.
But now he has his hat in the ring and I've earned quite a bit of respect for what he has done since. I'm willing to forgive him his past transgressions and give him a look.
Still way too soon to say how I'll vote when my primary comes up in April (Connecticut). More than half a year away! A lot will happen between now and then so I'm going to see how things play out. Also I'm paying a lot of attention to Ted Cruz.
