Republicans don’t oppose crony capitalism; conservatives do. Trump is not a conservative, and Palin sold out her principles by backing Trump over Cruz - so I don’t care what she has to say anymore. I’m done with her as well as with every other fool who jumped on the phony progressive-populist-agrarian-nationalist bandwagon.
I don’t think this is cronyism but I agree with your post.
He is already elected. We can stop giving him a pass and kissing his @$$ and start holding his feet to the fire. He isn’t a conservative and never has been. Anyone that says different is deluding themselves. But he does have a lot of good ideas. So we can cheer the good ideas and try to hold him accountable for bad ones. We can do that with a clear head IF we don’t lie to each other and pretend he is the second coming. He isn’t. He has a lot of good points but anyone that pretends he has no bad points is a freaking idiot and self deluded.
Sure hew as the best candidate to get elected in awhile. But that is a pretty damn low bar.
Hopefully the mass delusion here that he is perfect in every way will start to fade soon. We had the same arguments with deluded sheep about Bush II and McCain. But those voices eventually faded away when reality set in. Lets all get past that phase and back to being conservatives that hold Washington accountable to CONSERVATISM and not ‘whatever Trump said this week’.
Oh please get real. I am a conservative, but I am sick and tired of Conservative Inc., the beltway conservatives who created this facade of disagreement in Washington but at the end of the day they all go have drinks and laugh about it. The "conservatives" who care more about their fricking book sales and talk radio ratings than they do at actually putting conservatism into practice.
BTW you or Palin don't even know the specifics of the Carrier deal, all Trump did was promise Carrier that regs and taxes are going to go down once he assumes office.
