Because of the seriousness of our country's situation, our next president has an opportunity to earn a position in history next to our greatest American presidents and heroes.
As I evaluate these candidates and try to discern whose words I can trust, I continue to return to this thought about Trump.
Any thoughts?
nope
We are a nation of laws, not men. Greatness is not in how big a bully a man is, but rather in how wise a man is. A man can be smart and tough without being wise. Without wisdom, he will never be great. He may get a lot done, but he will never be great. There are many aspects to wisdom, but one sure sign it is missing is a lack of humility and self reflection.
Therefore I do not see any path for Trump to become a great President.
I find no reason to trust DT. He plans on ruling like bambi, stroke of the pen. Problem is congress won’t let him get away with it.
It is called laws, rule of law.
Yes he will. Whoever is elected is going into office with tremendous disadvantages. Our country is almost beyond saving economically, we are overrun with illegals from every country in the world, our laws have been subjugated by judges and congressman who have sold out to the highest bidder. If he can even get part of this under control or reverses he will be a hero.
I’m especially skeptical of a man with a progressive past who doesn’t have a single accomplishment for the cause of conservatism to point to. Yet I’m supposed to believe he’s suddenly conservative because he;s been saying so for the last seven months. Even as he makes weekly slips of the tongue that reveal his core liberalism.
No sale. Period.
Trump is an opportunist and a demagogue.
I am amazed and disappointed that so many of my conservative colleagues are dumping their principles in order to support him.
This is cultism. I expect cultism from the Left. I do not expect it from our side.
It will take a Trump to repair the damage done to this once great country.Trump has proven that he talks past the media and the whores of Washington and straight to the people.He has proven that with the last 6 months leading the polls in spite of everyone trying, and failing, to take him down.Attack him and get your ass handed to you with interest.sorry bush never did that.It will be interesting to find out who his VP pick will be

He’s the next Andrew Jackson.
stay skeptical
Conservative Principles.
When he says he's going to support ethanol subsidies because he's "for energy"? When he says he's going to come up with a "really terrific" free-market (ha ha) health care plan where everybody is taken care of and "the government is gonna pay for it"? When he says he's going to have such a good relationship with the military that "our heads will spin"?
You trust the same guy who only eight years ago had warm, effusive praise for Hillary Clinton, and her husband Bill, not to mention $100,000 or so in dough. Warm effusive praise, pax. He really liked Hillary a lot.
Two election cycles later, and here he is calling her so corrupt she shouldn't be allowed to run. He boasts as well about buying politicians and political influence -- he always played the game.
You trust this guy?
I say dump Trump.
Leftists will be writing Trump’s history, so, no, he won’t be known as a guy who did anything good no matter how good he does.
Like Reagan who did a lot of good things for the country, leftists will erase Trump’s legacy.
Obama will be known as the only president who was a real Saint (because he is not white). His legacy will be totally invented. It will be an affirmative action legacy.
Your new thread reminded me of this one which I posted last January.
We’re blessed to live in a time to watch a great president making history.
