But what about his, in the political sense. complete liberalism? Buying, politically, what was needed to accomplish his goals? “ ====================
Fair question. I am eagerly awaiting Trump’s take down of these ligitimate questions. His “crimes” sound pretty ominous for Republicans to be hoisting him on their shoulders just yet, but that is not to say that when he is asked about these things, and he will be, that he may come up with a decent explanation. Eminent Domain is a sacred cow, or it use to be, so when he speaks on this I will be all ears.
Doubt if he can justify the eminent domain issue. But on many others, I’ve accepted his explanations. Contrary to what his opponents (on both sides) say, he hasn’t been “flip flopping” back and forth (as Romney did) on pro-life. He explained about coming to the light on that. He explained about health care, that times are very different now and we simply can’t afford what we once could. He said he still wants to see people covered, but not with the disaster that Obamacare is. And even the Repubs have said all along that they don’t intend to deny the needy care, but want to craft a good, common sense plan after repealing Obamacare. He’s anti-gun control and gay marriage. He’s addressed (some, with more to come, necessarily) contributions he’s made to Dems in the past (good business sense, particularly in NY and other Dem states).
Bottom line is this - if Reagan ran today, would purists vote for him? Don’t forget his 80/20 philosophy, after all.
Do we require an angelic conservative pure as the driven snow or do we require someone who can kick BHO’s a** out of the White House?
