lets hope the moderate part is at least right if he wins.
we’ll have to vote for him if he takes the primary.
i think so many are terrified about losing the country, they want a leader more than a conservative.
i must confess i’ve fallen a little into that frame of thought,
You just nailed it! A leader is what we must have to reverse the nosedive this country is in. Take it or leave it, there is no other leader on the horizon. Cruz can’t even lead his own party in the Senate. Trump is proven successful in high stakes business. I’m not voting for another get nothing done politician.
I am in that frame of thought too, only I also realize that Trump is in line with about 80% of the conservative issues. So he is a leader without ties to special interests (big benefit) who mostly agrees with my thinking. (Especially about political correctness — which I believe is sapping our freedom).
I also believe Trump will gain the appeal of disenfranchised dems as time goes on because he will choose positions that help the general middle class. (His words anyway). Who would not want jobs over welfare, if the jobs provided a better life?
I think your observation is correct, and mirrors the points Rush made this week when he quoted the late Sam Francis on the eventual rise of reactionary nationalism.
The pendulum rarely stops in the middle, and the longer and farther this nation is driven into Leftist chaos, the stronger and more sweeping the inevitable reaction will be. Voters are tired of debate and promises, and now demand action. If the newly elected president does not quickly institute a sweeping reversal of Obama's destructive policies, mobs will begin calling for a dictator. And they will get it. Our Republic is in great peril.
