“If trump puts another liberal on the ticket...”
The general, in the same interview, was also embarrassingly weak on the transgender stuff - he should have at least took the opportunity to defend the notion that the military should be immune from such social engineering. Instead he gave an incredibly wussy non-answer.
For a general, he did not impress me as either quick-thinking or strategic in any sense.
Trump was far from my favorite in the primary but I will be voting for him in November.
The general deserves respect for his service. I just honestly don’t understand what he would add to the ticket. I get the point that he is not afraid to say ‘Islamic jihad’ or that illegals are ‘illegal’ - big hairy deal, Trump already cornered the market on those issues.
I want someone who helps fill in Trump’s ‘yuge’ weaknesses. Someone who favors and can articulate what America stands for - the cause of Freedom!
I’m a Freedom guy. Small central government. States rights. Individuals -vs- sex/color-based classes. Etc.
Which is why I originally started coming to FreeRepublic. Though the site seems less interested in that nowadays and more interested oriented toward silly useless and often juvenile in-fighting.
Yes, I will save my “invective” (and thanks for assuming I have some) for the real enemy. But I do hope you change your mind about not helping against Hillary. Trump is an ill-informed jackass, but he does seem to at least love America and its sovereignty in a way no Dems do.
I have decided to vote for trump despite his shortcomings He is not a conservative and praises planned parenthood If he puts another liberal on the ticket that will be harder to do Its not that I want Hilary, far from it It’s just that I see little difference between the two I do not trust Trump not to make one of his famous deals and sell us all downriver as he has no real conservative values It’s all about trump.... At least a conservative on the ticket would give some hope that trump would get wise counsel and that there might be a conservative in office after trump leaves
