“”Trump is the ONLY ONE offering to lead us in that direction...Lead us out of the mess...How could we possibly say no?””
“This is the simple, in-your-face reality that I’ve been trying to impart to my fellow conservatives for months now.”
Isn’t that the exact scenario Barack Obama presented? And Hopeandchange by definition? It’s not intended to be an insult. It’s a serious question.
Pied Piper scenarios rarely have happy endings for those who dance along to the tune guys.
Windy, Trump’s candlepower is as ephemeral as actual candlelight. There’s nothing behind it but the desires we project. Where exactly is the substance behind his words?
Life or death? It’s that every election. Someone always says it. And here we are still talking about it. Laying the groundwork for another self fulfilling prophecy to happen.
Yes he fights.
He flatly rejected us on Obamacare (Sorry conservatives, I love ys but...” Admitting he was not ‘us’ in no uncertain terms.
He sides with the “Law of the land” that put a christian behind bars. And we know his position on homos because he hires and defends them in his pageants.
He fights us every bit as much as he fights the GOP. Or more accurately he fights the GOP and we just turn the other cheek. He doesn’t actually have to fight us. He just tells us the way it’s gonna be and ‘we’ like the abuse.
It’s true isn’t it? Are we collectively not doing exactly that because we wanna believe? Because we hate Democrats and the GOP so much that we will accept anything ‘no matter what”?
For me, that indicates that most conservatives are still holding out hope that their favorite conservative candidate (Cruz, in most cases) will be the nominee, but that they're grounded enough in reality to admit that it will probably be Trump.
It also tends to indicate that most conservatives are comfortable enough with his ideological/temperamental make-up to willingly cast their vote for him in the general. Obviously, that's because there's more to like about Trump, than to dislike, from our perspective.
What we're not hearing at this point is, "If Trump is the nominee, I'm staying home!" Even knuckle dragging, bitter clinging purists like me, have already concluded that a Trump presidency would be a net positive for this country, and that he would do everything in his power to correct some of the worst existential threats to America.
I, like so many others, have come to that conclusion in the same way conservatives usually do - through careful reasoning, based upon facts and observation.
Listen - the Uniparty establishment doesn't want any candidate that will actually go to Washington and work for The People. They will use every trick in the book, and throw every wrench imaginable at any candidate who threatens to stop their wholesale rape and pillage of this country.
The establishment has now become so powerful and entrenched, that they can prevent the election of any person they deem to be unacceptable. Even worse - they can now run candidates for office who are repulsive to the vast majority of voters - and get them elected anyway, despite our overwhelming disgust.
In such an upside-down political situation, do you really think a Reagan II has any chance of winning the nomination - let alone actually being elected??
You know they don't.
Enter a non-politician who's a known quantity with the electorate, who wants to right some of the most egregious structural wrongs in this country, and who cannot be bought, controlled, intimidated, or maneuvered out of the way by the establishment. Someone who doesn't mince words or spout tired cliches, while kicking the media and the political establishment in the ass every single day.
Thank God this man is solidly pro-American, even if he doesn't pass our most rigid conservative litmus tests.
