I took at look at Trump’s platform when he announced. So I agree that talk can be cheap. Then I continued to watch him over the months, and he never wavered.
At times he addressed nuance issues that only a die-hard Conservative would even know about. He did that several times. It was pretty amazing to take note of.
There was no doubt this guy was a Conservative, if you were paying attention. Leftists weren’t even aware of some of the things he touched on. You don’t get that out of the blue. You get it from knowing Conservative issues forwards and backwards.
Which many-a-FReeper was not....
Rather than a “like button,” I’d prefer FR add a “Trump” button indicating support for Trump during the campaign.
That way we could quickly identify those who are immune to compelling argument before wasting time on those who confuse “belief” with “opinion.”
