Total misread on your part, my point is that you were probably NOT stupid like Donald was when he fell for Hillary... fell for Obama...and fell for universal Canadian style health care...
My point was that you probably were NOT that stupid. My assumption was giving you the benefit of the doubt. Sorry if you took it that way.
Now, IF you did indeed fall for all of these things...well....that’s another story. But I seriously doubt you did.
“And remember, Trump didn’t figure out he was a conservative until well into Obama’s first term.”
I generally agree with this, but when he took the 0bama birth certificate issue on, he has stayed with it. Remember, unlike other presidents, 0bama has kept any official copy under lock and key in Hawaii, and the one he posted on the White House page had discrepancies. Score one for Trump, here.
(Skipping the “stupid” comment)
“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.”
I fully agree it's been only recently he's trumpeted (pun intended) such a view. However, if Madonna, whom I despise, started saying such things and backing them up by losing millions of dollars from signed agreements being canceled, I'd be giving her a similar “thumbs up” to the exact, same degree.
“And while this is going on, you don’t want to confront the fact that he’s a crony capitalist...and somehow THIS IS THE GUY who’s gonna make all this right?”
I don't have to describe what seems obvious—that he is opportunistic at every opportunity. I don't expect Trump will “make all this right,” but then Cruz (or Madonna, from my prior example) won't, either. I don't see how you could rationally support anyone today with such a rabid eagerness. I certainly don't have such a PollyAnnish view of anyone.
You show what I would call an “irrational fear” of the Trump situation. I am a Cruz supporter and we have only given to his run this year, but I can see value, as does Cruz, in Trump's comments.
If you don't support Cruz, who is “your guy?” Again, Cruz has backed Trump's continued comments and positions on the whole immigration blowup.
