Just dumbfounded. Tea Partiers voting for a RINO. ….OK, an angry RINO.
“Tea Partiers voting for a RINO. ….OK, an angry RINO”
I’m confused. I thought they voted for Trump and Cruz. Are you saying they voted for Jeb or Rubio or Christie or Graham or Kasich or Pataki or Gilmore?
IMO, a RINO, is someone who love politics more than America. That is not Trump IMO. I think Trump is absolutely sincere about “making America great again” and his first foray in doing so is blasting political correctness and the anti-masculine popular culture - badly needed in America. Strong on defense and at least dealing decisively with illegal immigration. He has also said he wants to eliminate corporate tax (no such thing, really - a corporate tax is simply a hidden tax on Americans becasue the tax cost is passed on to the consumer with higher prices).
Where Trump is off target is:
- raising punitive tariffs to deal with economic symptoms which fails to address both the actual causes and effective solutions to our economic issues (hint: the REAL economic culprit is the $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional federal government and their forced minimum wage, union protection, and tonnage of costly, wasteful, dead-end, useless regulations.
- graduated tax and actually wanting to raise upper-end taxes. EXACTLY the OPPOSITE of what we need. We need to nuke the 70-zillion-page tax code and replace with a simple flat tax, somewhere between 10-15%.
- mixing up his personal love for women and their health with the constitutional limitations of the federal government which does not include authority to meddle in healthcare at all.
Trump may be the beginning of the way out of America’s Obamesque quagmire, but America will need a strong leader with a Cruz-like vision of putting the federal government back into it constitutional cage and giving the country back to the people.
Trump doesn’t seem to quite get that what made America great once and what will make America great again isn’t more government, but FREEDOM: the ABSENCE of government and replacing dependence on man with a faith, trust, and dependence in God.
