Even Tucker is in on that game. Said a couple of nights ago that Trump’s approval rating has tanked and mentioned the double digit lead by Biden.
Could it be that Tucker is doing his part in keeping conservatives on their toes for election day? There are some that will stay home if they believe Trump has it in the bag.
Tucker Carlson may be the most courageous defender of Liberty and honesty in journalism today.
Because of that, he regularly comes down on the side of fellow truth-teller President Trump, and against the lies and hypocrisy of the Left.
But Tucker is a bit of an erudite - an ivory tower gentleman conservative in the mold of William Buckley.
No shame in that, except he seems to have a blind spot when it comes to politics - he just doesn’t get the visceral connection between Donald Trump, the street fighter, and the common man.
I suspect that if this was the 1980s, Tucker Carlson would be a staunch defender of Ronald Reagan but at the same time he would be one of the pearl clutchers constantly second guessing Reagan, fearing his agenda was being coopted, fearing the President was weak and overpowered by those around him. He would have whined “let Reagan be Reagan!”.
Don’t get me wrong. I never miss Tucker Carlson’s show - that’s how good I think he is. We are very fortunate to have him.
But once every two weeks or so, he embarrasses himself as he did last night, by joining the Leftist and RINO chorus of people saying Trump should stop tweeting, be more “Presidential”, be smarter and play by the Queen’s rules.
I’m sorry, but a big part of President Trump’s appeal is precisely what Tucker Carlson and others complain about. The same things that are “reckless” and “dumb” to Tucker are exactly what I find refreshing.
I love it that he is coarse, reckless and disrespectful in his tweets and press conferences - it is a way of verbally giving his enemies the finger. Some people are too genteel to understand this, but a huge part of middle America has been waiting for a leader that tells liars to go to hell and flips them the bird.
