I can certainly understand the anger and disappointment with the GOP over the past couple of decades. Other than success in the WOT, GWB was a big disappointment - too many deals with the Rats.
The revolution of 2010 was supposed to usher in a whole lot of Republicans who made a lot of promises - repeal Obamacare, lower taxes, secure the border, reform SS and Medicare, no more too big to fail, no more crony capitalism. They met a brick wall and many back pedaled. The mini-revolution of 2014 was supposed to be a shot in the arm - another chance. We’re still waiting.
We’ve been saying conservatism works every time it’s tried and pining for a true conservative - no more Dole, McCain, Romney.
Yet we’re set to go down that moderate path again with Trump. There are conservatives in this primary who score in the high 90’s to 100 on the ACU rating scale - yet they’re being rejected, told they can’t win, that despite the ACU rating, they’re “RINO’s” or GOPe.
What in the heck do we really want, anyhow?
Personally, I want a test of REAL conservatism against the likes of Shrillary or Bernie - not another faux conservative/moderate against a liberal/moderate. There’s no difference between them-they’re the “uniparty”.
We claim we want a difference, yet when one is presented, it’s rejected in favor of a moderate populist. I’m starting to believe that the real thing most people want is to gripe and complain. They don’t want solutions - they want the problems to continue to they can continue to gripe and complain.
We’ll get what we deserve.
I don’t disagree. Trump is a mixed bag.
HOWEVER
I still back Trump.
That is because the GOP-E MUST DIE.
We must have an opposition party.
Some people say we barely survived an Obama presidency.
I assert that we DID NOT SURVIVE IT.
America looks NOTHING like it did 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago. We embrace pure evil (abortion), we embrace pure madness (transgenderism and gay superiority), we embrace pure racism (black lives matter but white ones don’t), we embrace pure tyranny (attacks on every BoR Amendment).
So people who tell me we need to vote (whatever) to save America are on a fools errand. There is no America to save.
What we CAN do, is BUILD A NEW AMERICA. That will require the complete removal of the GOP Elitists. Trump will ensure that, whether or not he is ultimately elected. Then, armed with a TRUE opposition party, perhaps in a cycle or two we can elect a President that will begin the arduous task of recreating America.
I want someone who isn’t a globalist and doesn’t vote Coker or TPA giving Obama everything. To each his own. With the way some I thought were conservative have acted, I question a rating system by them. We can agree to disagee. I have been told too many were conservative who sold us out.
