South40 is a solid guy. I was a little over the top to make a point.
What he says with Trump is true on the face of it. These are strange times though, and I personally think we have to support people who voice solid policy, even if we don’t think they’ll implement it. Why?
We do it because as they gain support, guess what the other candidates have to do. If they want to gain support, they have to adopt some of the policies of the guy who is peaking.
It’s that simple. So what do our people do? They do their damnedest to destroy the alternate voice for the Liberal Republicans based on personality issues, and other valid observations.
I say we do that entirely too fast. The time to dump Trump is on the way to the primaries, about a month before. It sure isn’t now when good policy has a chance to gain traction.
Trump is the first guy since Buchanan in 2000 to push decent immigration and trade policies.
What’s the goal here, wait another fifteen years?
Good freakin’ grief!
Okay guys, in 2030 we may get another chance. What will the excuse for dumping that guy be? There will be one, I guarantee it.
Thanks D1. Your point was well voiced. We just beat the horse to death. :-)
“South40 is a solid guy. I was a little over the top to make a point.”
Maybe he is, but I get a little tired of the name calling by some, like him, when he disagrees with what you are posting. Calling someone, like you, a liberal because you see some value in what a man like Trump is saying, really has no place here in my opinion.
