I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Trump in the primaries because of his countless recent about-faces on just about every issue, including the issues he campaigns on the most on today. Having said that, Trump could hardly be any worse as President than Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton. If the RNC get their wish and manage to push Jeb through, and we’re given a choice between Jeb, Hillary, and Trump as a third party candidate, I’d probably say “what the hell” and vote for Trump.

Thanks Ek_Hornbeck. I appreciate the comments.

There’s one thing I think folks overlook today.

Trump is out there selling Conservatism. Whatever his checkered past, there’s no denying that he is selling it two to ten times louder than the others.

A whole new generation is being exposed to Conservative principles. It’s the first time since Reagan that the public is hearing these things from a national figure.

Whatever the outcome of Trumps efforts are, there will be one thing that can’t be taken back, which Conservatives should be forever grateful for.

The dirty little secret is that we are all being held hostage by Trump. Why would we have to be “held hostage” to support Trump? Plenty of reasons why his negatives were through the roof only a month ago, as he was about to enter the race. He’s just off-putting, and that is only the start. He is definitely not the second coming of Jack Kemp, or von Mises, or Milton Friedman, or . . .

How is Trump “holding us hostage?” Simply by telling the truth like the boy and the naked emperor. He ridicules PC like nobody else will or, one infers, can. When he points out the obvious that the MSM has been covering up, we find ourselves unable to oppose the man. Hence, we may have looked down on Trump a month ago, but now we can’t admit it - because he gives us hope that we might actually be represented in Washington. Instead of facing a JEB/Hillary, head you lose, tails you lose election.

People normally cannot turn their negative/positive ratio upside down. But people normally are not willing to go rogue like Donald Trump.
