But one issue on which he HASN'T flipped and flopped like a crappie in a jon boat is property rights. He is a "100% supporter" (HIS words, not mine) of the Kelo decision in Connecticut. His bully-boy treatment of Vera Coking bears out the lack of respect for property rights.
Trump's backers are getting that long-sought cathartic moment, hearing him blast away at the border issue and swear up and down he's going to ensure they're all -- including their children born in this country -- deported forthwith. While that all sounds great, he and his backers are ignoring the fact that will require massive legislative and legal hurdles and quite likely will never happen.
Some outstanding points, and I'm sure you'll be called a RINO and establishment hack for saying so....even though your problems are the OPPOSITE of what the RINO's and the estabs have with the Don.
I'll say this: he's done a fabulous service to us all - especially on slamming the establishment. But no, for the reasons you posited, he is not THE answer. I"ll vote for him if he gets the nomination - and I would over Jeb or Kasich or Christie - but there are several superior choices for those who believe in limited government and the Constitution. Seems like so few around FR even remember those issues.
A perfect candidate “someday” isn’t good enough. We need something now. Something non GOPe.
It’s Trump or Cruz, in my mind, and Cruz hasn’t exactly been lighting the polls up. Could that change? I hope so, but even then I have my doubts about some very GOPe things Cruz has done, and then there’s the birth in Canada issue. I’m ok with that, but the Supreme Court that makes stuff up as it goes may not be.
Interesting times, huh?
