We are not going to undo 100 years of creeping socialism by stamping out feet and holding our breath demanding ideologically perfect political dogmas.

So we should just accept the current socialist state of affairs and play under the new "rules"? Is Trump a change candidate or a "now it's our turn" candidate?

Yet here we go again with the usual “Movement Conservatives” trying desperately to spin a win as a defeat because it does NOT fit their ivory tower dogmatically pure political fantasies.

But, the "fantasy" is what we had before socialism, meaning it's an achievable reality. That's what we'd like to get back to.

I think ALL recognize that keeping the Carrier jobs is good, but if you can't handle ANY criticism of how it's done (and that's all it is), it'd be you that are the purist.

Criticizing Trump doesn't mean he's been abandoned. Every reasonable person recognizes that there is no perfect candidate. Demanding a lack of criticism implies he is.

Curious if any of you “Movement Conservative” or “Libertarians”can comprehend the difference between cutting someone future taxes (i.e. Carrier) and taking money out of the Federal Treasury to make grants and loads to a crony (i.e. GM, Fisker or Solyndra)?

But that right, you are still locked in your zero sum fallacy. Still blindly regurgitating this bit of ignorant idiocy about “crony capitalism” “costing the taxpayers of Indiana more taxes”.

You might have a point if there were any intellectual or factualmerit to the argument being advanced against Trump. But, sad for you, there isn’t any intellectual merit to the argument on your side. It has no rational, ideological, economic or factual base.

Instead what this is is a continuation of the daily attempt by #Never Trumpers to manufacture fraudulent excuses to whine about Trump.

This is an argument based on poltical petulance and economic ignorance trying to cloak itself in a fake gloss of poltical principal. It has no actual ideological or economic merit as I pointed out in my 1st post
