Jonah can't honestly argue “from the right.” Sure, he can take such a position, but even I can take a more liberal position than 0bama and effectively win there, too. Knowing how to attack someone or their ideas (Jonah and you appear to think, “why not both?”) does not make the words used any more appropriate.
You say you ‘care about the few ideas,’ but it is Jonah who is the carnival barker asking us to “step right up” and listen to him pretend to care about conservatives, when Jonah is really a RINO—and you know this.
It is, after all, people like Solson and myself that Jonah makes his appeal to, and you insist we truly listen to his words when he calls Trump enthusiasts, “his brother...being taken advantage of by a grifter...congratulating (us) for taking out a third mortgage.” In other words, you enjoy have someone call us ‘simple-minded idiots’ for being encouraged by Trump's words and actions.
Trump hasn't hurt anyone and hasn't spent anyone else’s money to posit his take on things. I would imagine his words held concepts you covet, but I can't speak for you.
Do you ever go to watch movies? Have you ever found yourself impressed with an actor or actress because they portrayed a truth that mattered to you and which needed to be conveyed in a way that caught those who otherwise wouldn't have cared?
We know it was “just an actor,” but that helped you feel justified for your own stance. You might even have encouraged friends or coworkers to see it because it would resound with them, too.
Trump is that actor, but in a very real-life sense, he's putting himself and his family and working relationships on the line. That is something no actor has done from within a movie—the very movie you thought others just had to see.
Donald is saying what needs to be said. If he attracts 15,000 or 15 million people over this, I will be happy for him. He is awakening something of great value in these people—that their honorable, legal perspectives haven't been completely discarded by the popular.
We see so many idiot actors standing up for socialist ideals (Sean Penn). These liberals capture people's attention and sway weak-minded people toward their evil goals.
To have someone stand up to counter that, even if it “sucks the air out” of the other candidates, is a welcome change.
May Trump continue his “Straight Talk Express.” We need any and everyone standing up for what is right.
It's a shame neither you nor Jonah can understand this.
Wow, proud of yourself I guess. There’s nothing in your way too long post that I don’t understand. I have fully covered all of it....from the positive things Trump is bringing to the table to the fact that the more catty of Jonah’s comments were not what I liked about the article.
Dude, I get it, all of it. Period.
And remember, Trump didn’t figure out he was a conservative until well into Obama’s first term.
Were you that stupid? Did you just figure all this out, say, since 09 or 2010? I’m sorry, but neither Ted Cruz nor Scott Walker nor Rand Paul nor Bobby Jindal nor even Rick Perry ever fell for Obama, not for a second. They never fell for Hillary either?
Here comes Trump, who admittedly is tapping into anger and saying a lot of the right things, but dammit, he’s only been doing that for 15 minutes and anyone with any intellectual honesty will admit that.
And while this is going on, you don’t want to confront the fact that he’s a crony capitalist...using his powerful connections and greasing the coffers of the right Democrats in power to get his deals done...the very thing that’s destroying this economy and growing government.....by playing the crony game...and somehow THIS IS THE GUY who’s gonna make all this right?
I’m sorry...your screen name does not seem correct, on either point......
