“My image of conservatives is totally blown. I never imagined they’d fall for a charlatan like this.”
Amen. They WANT to believe. They want someone who will fight for them, a savior. That’s how people get taken in by con artists. History shows that Trump will say anything to get what he wants and to ingratiate himself with people. Its obvious but they refuse to see it. We become the bad guys for pointing it out.
How about Reagan’s trust but verify here?
Trump has said he wants to deal, and some early results are promising, like the Trump-Sessions manifesto on bearing arms.
People are plain lazy and want a genie, not a door of opportunity. If Trump is treated as a genie, he will be a genie subject to whoever DOES consent to work with him.
“They want someone who will fight for them, a savior.”
One of the saddest posts I’ve ever seen here in 17 years is a poster, very sincerely, saying *Trump will save this country*
For the first time in our history, we have a candidate whose whole life has been spent (with some success) in the world of sales and marketing.
Selling the sizzle, not the steak.
If we elect Trump, we shall find that sizzle is not very nourishing.
