If Trump is so anti-establishment answer me one question: Why did he endorse Romney in 2012.
Romney is not a conservative no matter what excuses you make. Trump is in the Romney camp.
Cruz and a whole lot of Republicans endorsed Romney.
Why did any number of decent Americans, including the owner of this very site?
Because we were given no choice. You know that.
No one here is claiming that Trump's a conservative. Hell, who really knows where this guy's at, politically?
What we do know about Trump is that,
1. He loves his country.
2. He's as sick to death of the leftwing destruction of America as any of us are.
3. He's got a track record as a doer, not a talker.
4. He's unafraid to say the things that most Americans are thinking.
5. He's too rich to be bought by anyone.
6. He's a formidable player of high level, high stakes games.
7. He doesn't pander to anyone, and is unmoved by others' 'hurt feelings'.
8. He's the undisputed boss in whatever sphere he controls.
9. If punched, he punches back harder.
10. He can't be controlled by the GOP-e.
The man's got some famous shortcomings, as well, but in times as perilous as these, heroes may come with warts. Lord knows, some of the most admired heroes in American history were rough around the edges.
What Trump has done over the course of just a week, is akin to moving an iceberg with a rowboat. The man has literally turned the entire political establishment on its head, and is driving the national conversation and the attention of a whole continent.
Who have you ever seen do such a thing?
