So what I’ve come to understand is the Establishment of the Republican Party is shaken to the core that the base is actually done or close to it with them. And they will do everything to destroy one man who has hit on this movement. Because that is what Donald Trump has tapped into and is beginning to lead: not anger at the establishment, not a “throw the bums out rally cry”, not I’m mad now but will vote for the nominee later over Hillary, and not a short memory of past lies, betrayals, and broken promises.
Trump’s leading a movement of those who’ve had it with being lied to, catered to when a vote or money is needed and then summarily dismissed. Like me, Trump sees that this country is two wheels from going over the cliff and he’s determined to stop it. I BELIEVE him when he promises to make America Great Again. Or to put it another way, he’s never lied to me yet, broken a promise to me, or betrayed me, as has the GOP on too many occasions to count.
To the Trump haters on this site or those who feel Trump is a bad investment that he isn’t conservative, here is why I’m voting for the man. Donald Trump speaks my language now at a time when no one else does except for Ted Cruz and Dr. Carson. As for Trump’s conservative chops, well point out to me other than Cruz or Carson, a true conservative in this field of candidates replete with Trump’s gonads and leadership. You can’t. That candidate does’t exist.
To the staffer assigned by the Republican Establishment to troll this site to see and document discontent in the base, well it would be wise to take note of this post. Because for every one of me, statistics say there are hundreds who feel the same way but haven’t posted heir thoughts.
Trump is not a typical politician in that his failures and triumphs are well documented and he is not running away from either. He is a guy who says, “here I am, this is me. If you like me, fine, if not, screw you.” No apologies, no equivocation. Also, Trump has never been an elected politician and does not have that albatross around his neck.
Having said the above, there are other candidates in this race that have many of the same attributes. I think Ted Cruz has stood up to an impossible cabal in DC. I think Scott Walker has also stood up to the leftist hordes. Unfortunately, given the amount of money JEB! is willing to spend to trash them, I do not think they could withstand the assault. Again, therein lies the appeal of Trump. He seems to be the best equipped to foil the GOPe’s plans.
