I might be forced to vote for the guy in the end but I surely can't imagine watching him mug it up and smirk before the cameras, while bragging on himself unmerciliously, just makes me want to throw up - and I imagine I'm not the only conservative who feels this way!
As I said, I might have nowhere else to go when I vote next Nov. but the mere thought of Trump giving interview after interview or speech after speech, as he reminds us just how lucky we are to have elected him, is enough to make me swear off TV for the next few years!
It's kind of like when smutty words first began to be uttered in the movies, one might have laughed a bit but I thought I'd lose it hearing Jackie Gleason utter the word "sumbitch" one more time in "Smokey and the Bandit"
Hearing Trump remind me how really smart he is, what really great grades he got at Wharton, what a really great job he's going to do to "Make America Great Again!"
Unlike Reagan, who reminded us, America WAS ALREADY great because of US, the American people, not him and certainly not how he was going to do it for us but how by getting "government out of our way and lives" would free us up to succeed on our own!
We felt like we were all on Reagan's team, not cheerleaders for his show!
Reagan cheered us on, not vice versa!
Finally, while I'm getting to it, Reagan never bragged on himself, his motto was, "There's no limit to what a man can do or where he can go, if he doesn't mind who gets the credit,"compared to Trump whose motto is, "If you don't give me the credit, I won't do the job for you!"
Good post.
I’ll be voting for Trump if he gets the nomination but Ted would be so much better.
I can’t remember Reagan signing any employee checks on front of the check. Trump has signed 100,000+ employee checks ON THE FRONT! Making good in the tough main street real world economy trumps cashing government checks all your life. Like Rafael Cruz, who has been cashing government checks all his life.
I believe you’re overthinking this. Or maybe basing it on too small a subset. He has changed it to WE are going to Make America Great Again, but I can pinpoint exactly when that happened.
But whatever. We all have our preferences & the things that repulse us. The bottom line is that we need to stop this influx of foreigners, get our manufacturing base back, stop giving everything away, & cut out/ keep out all the socialist crap the left- and their accomplices on the ‘right’, have been burying us under.
The other bottom line is Cruz isn’t going to do any of that because the people who own him are how we got where we are. BTW- they do not give a flip how debauched our society becomes as long as the money keeps flowing their way. And they are well accustomed to lying every time they open their mouths.
Vote for who you want, go ahead & vent, but don’t expect people who’ve had enough to continue accepting more of the same. They’re your guys, YOU straighten them out.
