A "conservative" House and Senate can't even stop a crappy Iran deal or defund planned Murderhood. The "pure" conservatives---yes, including Cruz and Paul and Lee and others---have not offered one single CLEAN bill to just repeal Obamacare, they didn't stop Loretta Lynch, they didn't stop Import/Export Bank, they didn't stop Fast Track.
So pray tell, what will the "liberal" Trump do that is so different from these heroic conservatives.
The purism argument gets old as hell. I want a candidate with whom I can agree on FIVE THINGS to get FIVE THINGS DONE. Then I'll worry about the next five.
That's how the libs have done it for 40 years yet we keep wanting to dig up the carcass of Ronald Reagan (God Rest His Magnificent Soul). Well, it's time we get behind someone who can ACT and not talk, someone who will do something to stop the madness and not just manage American decline.
I hear you! Even the magnificent Ronald Reagan wasn’t 100% conservative. Does anyone remember amnesty? He was pro - life, but Nancy wasn’t. Same with Bush 41 and 43 - their wives weren’t, so I imagine they were just pro- life for public’s sake anyway. I get sick of hearing that we have to nominate someone like Ronald Reagan, as much as I admired the man, we have a new set of problems in this country than what Reagan had to face. The world is spinning out of control and we need a leader in the WH -not someone who has never so much as run a lemonade stand. This goes for some of those who seem to be more conservative than that they deem Trump to be. He is a man of action - his name and reputation are at stake, and he knows it. I also think he cares, unlike the many who are running to keep that cushy paycheck coming in, and who crave power.
Outstanding post LS. Could not agree with you more. If Trump can seal the border, deport the majority of illegals, right our trade deficits to somewhere near equilibrium, and repeal Obamacare, then I am one happy dude and he will have done more than any president in my lifetime, Ronaldus Magnus included. The rest of these guys talk a great game and fold at the first sign of trouble. People talk about what a great conservative Cruz is, but he’s had several opportunities to do the conservative thing on a number of votes and shows he’s just enough of an establishment guy to not be trusted either.
