Supporting Donald Trump: If You Can't Beat Liberals, Join Them?

AMERICAN THINKER ^ | 18 Feb 16 | Peter Heck

If conservative pundits like Ann Coulter and Breitbart's John Nolte want to make fools of themselves, so be it. But as a Christian and by consequence a political conservative, I want no part of the Donald Trump campaign.

I admit to being initially amused by The Donald's antics, and delighted by the fits he was giving the mainstream press and Republican establishment so desperate to eliminate him. But the longer this reality TV show has dragged on, the more frustrated I have become with this mindless game far too many Christians and conservatives seem to be playing.

Because they rightly despise the Republican establishment,whose repeated capitulations to the godless left allow our country to be sucked helplessly into economic and moral oblivion, these conservatives pretend that simply attacking that Republican establishment makes Donald Trump something other than a liberal charlatan.

#28 Example A of the Typical Trump Supporter. It’s not what he did last decade, last year, 5 months ago, last week.

No it is what he says TODAY.

Yeah I get it. I completely understand. That is how we ended up with Obama for 8 years.

“Because they rightly despise the Republican establishment,whose repeated capitulations to the godless left allow our country to be sucked helplessly into economic and moral oblivion...”

I’d rephrase that as “Because our country is turning from God and sinking into economic and moral oblivion, we have elected politicians who capitulate to the godless left - being, in essence, as godless themselves as we have become godless. We now have leading candidates in both parties whose lives demonstrate a total rejection of God and a life of service to the other side.”

Hope lies in revival, not elections.

That is because Trump's negatives are off the charts in national polls. ..over 50% NEGATIVE. He is the far left wing's wet dream. If they only realized that his abrupt Locutus-like transformation into a mock conservative is strictly for show and probably temporary maybe they would embrace him a little more.

#40 as was described at the time by every leading publication and broadcaster at the time YES he was attempting to kill the bill with a poison pill amendments.

If you can’t or won’t admit it there is no help for you.

If you are going to take Donnie trump’s advisors word of that of Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions on the issue you don’t belong here.

Head over to D.U. or KOS. You’ll fit right in.

As one of the guys that sit in for Rush said (to paraphrase) ‘until it becomes a race between DJT and a non-DJT, DJT will go on winning. For a non-DJT to emerge, all the others are going to have to drop out. But until that happens, DJT will keep amassing delegates. At the point that it will take more than 35% to win a primary between DJT and the non-DJT, the viability of DJT will emerge or submerge.’

But to agree with you, most of the Trumpeters seem to support liberal not conservative policies, despite vehement rhetoric to the contrary. Certainly if DJT supporters are a mirror for the cherished man hisself, then not only will DJT make a very bad POTUS, but we all will wish the Zero was still in office.

“He is the far left wing’s wet dream”

Which is something I do not understand - how so many self-proclaimed Republicans and conservatives can support him. Seems ironic that the possible Republican candidate is a left winger.

[Resolute Conservative]

Does not matter who is elected if it is a Republican. The GOPe and dims in Congress will continue to screw us at every turn.

"All these Trump whiners can stuff it. I’m tired of career politicians, and Trump is conservative enough for me where it matters."

Well....Let's hope you can continue to feel that way when Trump begins to "NEGOTIATE" away your constitutional rights...

[Redcitizen]

Heck no!

[Blackirish]

That’s the point. No way can you be a conservative or Republican and support Trump. He’s the Howard Stern of politics.

[RIghtwardHo]

Spot on.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Another denial rant. :-)

Well....Let's hope you can continue to feel that way when Trump begins to "NEGOTIATE" away your constitutional rights...

Oh no the Trumbies say, Donnie says he is very pro 2nd Amendment.

He also says Bloomberg was a great Mayor. The same guy that is the LEADING funder of gun Control actions in most all 50 states.

Flip a coin on how Donnie Falls on the 2nd Amendment expecially after another wack job lefty kills a few kids in a school or theatre

However he is on record as Supporting the AWB when it was being debated and signed into law by Bllly Goat Buttafuco.

Cruz wants to increase H1B visas by 500%

Wrong. From https://www.tedcruz.org/cruz-immigration-plan/:

Amend the H-1B visa program to fulfill its original purpose: Work with Congress to pass reform legislation for the H-1B visa program that will:

• Create an advanced degree requirement: Only individuals with advanced degrees in their respective fields may be brought to the United States with an H-1B visa. And preference will be given to those with advanced degrees from American universities.
• Create a "layoff cool-off" period for all H-1B visa applications: Companies must wait one or two years between laying off a worker and bringing in any H-1B foreign workers to ensure that the program is not used to displace American workers.
• Establish accreditation or recognition requirements for overseas schools: The recent lack of federal oversight of the H-1B visa program has fueled a cottage industry of diploma mills. Foreign academic institutions must meet minimum accreditation standards at least as stringent as those imposed on American universities in order to qualify for the advanced-degree requirement.
• Require sworn affidavits describing domestic hiring efforts: Companies will provide sworn statements and documentation that detail their efforts to hire Americans before requesting foreign workers through the H-1B visa program. Individuals who make false statements in these affidavits will be subject to perjury charges.
• Suspend companies from H-1B visa eligibility for failure to help foreign workers obtain green cards: Many companies misuse the H-1B visa program to train foreign workers that they intend to send back overseas to compete with America. The law must impose additional requirements on employers to pursue Legal Permanent Resident status on behalf of their H-1B visa-based foreign workers, or risk loss of access to the program.
