Well, you know, there are a lot of good people here at FR that despise him for this or that and things in the past. But I have to tell you, what he is saying and the positions he is taking in the here and now are spot on.
How many would have despised Reagan for getting divorced and once being a Democrat?
The past is the past.
People can and do change. Look at Reagan, Whittaker Chambers, and David Horowitz.
Trump’s “conversion” could actually be legitimate. Only time will tell.
But I’m enjoying the hell out of what he’s doing to both the Kenyan usurper and the spineless GOP “leadersdhip” right now.
Exactly...I'm not sure why so many Freepers are trying to run down Trump now, when he is making significant headway in the BC issue...AND making strong, solid points on China, OPEC, etc. There will be plenty of time in the primaries to dissect Trump's policies and opinions, but for conservatives to be playing useful idiots for liberals and discrediting Trump now is just senseless.
Yeah, he was calling for tariffs against China with Rush, and Rush was complaining about that yesterday, saying tariffs are NOT a conservative position and I was thinking to myself, Rush, You Just Don’t Get It. Tariffs may not be the greatest thing in the world, they may not be “pure” conservatism, but they are needed now, and Trump gets the fact that the rest of the world is seeing what easy marks we are and sticking it to us. Tariffs are the answer.
You want to know what the REAL answer is, better than tariffs? Cut the f=king red tape. Get govt off our freaking backs. Muzzle the unions and the trial lawyers — send their leaders to jail. Defund EPA, OSHA, DoE, HHS. Demand a loyalty oath and fire those who refuse. Make liberalizm something loathesome that no one will admit to being in 20 years. Get the freaking job done.
If anybody else besides Christie were talking this way I would be supporting them.
