Trump is reflecting the American silent majority, that is why.
I saw the interview, the answer Hannity gave Beck is that Americans are madder than hell and that only Trump has the $$$ and guts and smarts to kick their butts .
That that outweighs a few liberal positions.
I miss Becks 5pm show.
Not going to support Trump.
Then stay stuck at your impasse Beck and shut the hell up!
But, at the moment, he seems to be the clear front runner among those at least willing to talk about our issues and not take a special delight in poking us in the eye with a sharp stick like other GOP "leaders" including Jeb, Boehner and McConnell.
Fifty percent of Republicans (to include Tea Party folks and Independents)...have lost faith with the national party of the Republicans. It’s nothing personal, just that they don’t believe the chat-topics, getting-things-done-rhetoric, bogus-we-will-fix-things statements, or bold new world gimmicks. It doesn’t work.
You can even send the Fox News crowd out, and people have gotten so bright and clever over the past five years....that they won’t believe half the stuff that Fox News says now.
The bottom line? They want to fire the insiders. They think Trump will do it. I’m not a Trump supporter but I can see the frustration here, and it’s not limited to Republicans. I’d take a guess that twenty-percent of all Democrats now feel frustrated and just won’t go with the typical messages that the news media hands out.
He doesn’t understand why trust is not especially relevant. This is a point of view that imbues government WITH trust. He wants to trust government. This is completely lame and a low-intellect position. Of all the things that have been proven, decisively, government is not worthy of trust. Indeed, the Founders knew this. This is why they set up checks & balances. To extract every single nuance from all things a candidate on the campaign trail says is an exercise in futility and is a naive, simplistic viewpoint. Because Congress, except in the case of 0bama, does not give the pres everything he wants. The electorate has come to understand that every one of these SOBs is a liar.
And that’s why I think Beck is a slug.
I just heard somebody on Beck saying nowadays, with the elections the Dems already have 48% of the vote, in that general range. I don’t know if it is that high but it sure is bad for a national vote. 70 years of entitlements.
For once Glenn and I agree about something. Of course I don’t understand why conservative trust Glenn either, but he’s got a point this time.
Has there been any statements from Cruz campaign on what he will do with 40mil? I get it No Amnesty & border enforcement but any more detail?
If Trump starts dropping conservative names in Team-building at the WH then we really know he means it.
Right now I’m elated at his immigration stance.
They promised, promised, to repeal obamacare and fight him at every step of the way.
They didn't even try.
What have we got to lose by voting for an outsider?
The insiders have PROVEN they will stab us in the back and laugh at us the whole time.
For the life of me I cannot understand why we should care what Beck, Vanity, Coulter, Krauthammer, or any of them think.
Trump calls politicians stupid because pointing out how corrupt they are would be over the top.
Who said conservatives TRUST Trump?
He can’t backstab us any more than the GOPe does, and with Trump we get entertainment.
Being a businessman rather than a politician, at least we know that Trump understands the need for customer satisfaction. He may not always deliver, but he does perceive the necessity.
Trump is an unabashed proud American, and has been forever.
8 years of constant trashing of this nation, and a degradation of its prestige and traditions, here you have a candidate that is speaking about America first.
People want to love America again, and feel like we are special as Americans. That is the #1 issue in people’s minds, like in 1980, not whether candidate X had the most conservative positions on everything the longest.
