I think Trump is tapping into a deep emotional need amongst conservatives. We are right, we should win, we deserve to win, we’ve been repeatedly reviled and slandered. Leftists are out to destroy all that is good, and this nation is a gift that we must protect and preserve.
I believe all of that. I just don’t see Trump as the vehicle to get us there. If he is, God bless him.
