Don’t Trust Trump? Who or what do you trust? And if you trust anyone where has it gotten you?
Rove, Erik Erikson, Ann Coulter, Peggy Noonan, George Will, GOPe, Fox News, Boehner, McConnell, anyone in the Obama Admin, the “experts”, the process, McCain, Romney, RedState, Glenn Beck, Anyone in Hollywood ?
Beck has gone from trying to ridicule and excoriate Trump to puzzlement. It almost looks like he’s edging from denial to acceptance the final stage of grief. LOL!
Beck has always been goofy. And a drama queen too.
That about hits the nail on the head...
We may as well throw that phrase 'conservatism' away...It means so many different things to different people it doesn't have much of a meaning anyway...
I call myself a conservative but I sure am happy Social Security and Medicare exists...I appreciate unemployment benefits, paid vacations and employer paid insurance benefits...
I am anti-Nafta and all other unfair trade pacts...I am anti-globalism, New World Order and One world government...
Some of you people will have a hard time calling me a conservative...And I will have a hard time calling some of you people conservatives...
Bringing in 350,000 H1B visa holder per year for 5 years as Ted Cruz want to do and likely would succeed is about as liberal as one can get to me...That's one and three quarter million more Americans out of a job over 5 years...
Trump will be conservative enough for me...
We know you dont get it, Glenn. We know.
Yes, AllahPundit, yes!
"Trump fans, on some level, have given up that belief assuming they ever had it to begin with, I think. They wish Cruz was right but they just don’t think conservatism is an electoral winner anymore, either because the character of the country has changed or because changing demographics have made it impossible. "
No, AllahPundit, no.
Conservatism hasn't failed. Nor have people given up, nor has the nation's demographic made conservatism untenable. (That is wishful thinking on your part I believe.) The people who are supposed to be representing conservatism have failed. Glen Beck is now pro-gay marriage so is Gov. John Kasich. They claim to be conservatives but they fail at least one leg of the conservative test. They are not social conservatives. Though Kasich talks out of both sides of his mouth. Marco Rubio claimed conservatives love amnesty. Any conservative thinking that way is a liberal. There is a big problem with these liberals pretending to be conservatives.
There are a whole slew of pundits, politicians and talking heads who claim they are conservative, but really are closet liberals, democrats, elitists and establishment supporters. They are the ones who have caused conservatives to lack trust. No one can trust them because as soon as people give them their support the traitors stab their constituents in the back. They like calling themselves conservatives. They like usurping the word, but they have no love for conservatism nor do they have any understanding of conservative principles. Mitt Romney was the worst practitioner of this.
If Ronald Reagan can be considered the best example of conservatism, then Romney, the man who left the republican party because conservative Reagan became president and party leader, should never have been considered a conservative, severe or otherwise.
I wish there were a truth serum all politicians had to take so that we would know whether they truly were conservatives when they run for office. There are too many wolves in sheep's clothing out there. And do you know what AllahPundit, Beck and anyone else? You can't trust any of them. The ones who kiss up to, get their money from, work for and hire those who have backstabbed us again and again can go home. We already know we can't trust them. They've proved it. We're giving Trump a chance because at least he's fighting the ones who have shown hatred for conservatives in the past. At least he opens his mouth and talks about the things that concern us. If he hadn't decided to run, we would never have heard about some topics, like a conservative response to immigration, at all.
I realize this is not really about the e/e pretend conservatives ever getting it. It's not that they don't understand it. They could if they wanted to. They won't /will not understand it. Because like the two most recent presidential loses the republicans have suffered, it is all their fault. They won't admit it. They'll try to blame it on anything or anyone else. But their lying, backstabbing, traitorous behavior has brought them to this point. I'm glad and I hope they never figure it out.
Glenn Beck has literally become an “out of touch” DUMBA$$!
Glen, you are at a loss because you don’t understand why conservatives trust Trump? I can explain it very quickly.
1. We have NOTHING to lose by trusting him. It was going to be a Dem or a Bush. And we were not going to vote for a Bush. We were resigned to President Hillary. Trump is better than that corrupt witch.
2. Candidates talk talk talk. Glen, you are right, we normally have to trust whether they will do any of what they promise, or even govern the exact opposite way. Trump HAS ALREADY DONE WHAT WE ONLY DARED DREAM: get us facing the truths we LIVE DAILY from illegal immigration. Started to shove the stake into the body of political correctness. Made all statists tremble and pee themselves. HES ALREADY DONE IT!!! No other candidate has actually CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE toward truth.
Get with the program.
The question they should be asking is why don’t conservatives trust US (GOPe)?
The answer, Glenn, is past performance - that’ll get ya every time.
For some reason, Hannity has had this fool on his show today for an hour or so....Beck sounds like he’s in tears over Trump not coming on his show.....why Sean is doing this is a mystery.
