Donald Trump recalls with chagrin that he supported Barack Obama for president in 2008, but says he now realizes that those moving hope-and-change speeches were nothing more than rhetoric.”I was his biggest cheerleader,” the multibillionaire businessman told Sean Hannity on his Fox TV show Tuesday night. “If you go back three years, I’m saying, ‘Do a great job.’ I wanted him to do a great job. I still want him to do a great job.”
A few observations:
The fact is, Trump has cohones: he represents a candidate who expresses himself as the staunch individualist that he is, and who isn't afraid to ignore, and even challenge, contemporary "inside the beltway" political correctness which dominates Washington.
Trump is reminiscent in some ways of Ross Perot, in having a distinct disdain for engaging in phony political rhetoric, and also a tendency to just shoot straight and "tell it like it is" even when that ruffles the feathers of the PC crowd.
It's actually very refreshing, and think that if Trump can push back hard enough against these attacks by the Orwellian left-wing PC media propaganda machine, he might actually provide for some energetic national discussions which could potentially take place outside the framework of the one-party Establishment governing coalition of Tyrannical Marxist Ideologues, Corporatists, Nanny-Staters and their ilk.
I don't know that I'd like to see him win as yet, but I would like to see Donald Trump stick around for a while. We'll have a livelier national debate on at least some issues if he does. We already are.
Really? A lot of the members of the democratic party who supported Obama as democrats, and who supported Hillary Clinton for years, and who just told us weeks ago that Bill Clinton is his favorite president, and who are running now to control the republican party during the campaign against Hillary?
I don't think we see many of those kind of democrat who supported Obama.
