‘At the same time, there are many questions concerning his suitability as a conservative nominee”
I forgot to add — People in Louisiana got to vote out Mary Landrieu last November in favor of a candidate, Bill Cassidy, who ran as Ronald Reagan Junior. He won, and turned into Mary Lite in a matter of days. How many Tea Party senators have betrayed the ones who put them in office? At least Trump is bold enough to run “conservative” on the issues that matter. What other “conservative” candidates are even doing that?
“How many Tea Party senators have betrayed the ones who put them in office?”
You made an excellent point. One of those candidates was Ron Johnson from WI who ran using the Tea Party’s support. He ran as a Conservative. He was a private business man that used mostly his own $$ to run. He had no voting record to back up what he said he believed. And a lot of us believed him. So many in fact that he took the Senate seat away from Russ Feingold.
He ran on repealing Obamacare. Now he doesn’t even want to talk about it and has denied being associated with the Tea Party. He wasn’t in DC 10 minutes before he was hanging around McCain and voting with the rinos.
I have heard some of the same things about Trump as I heard about Johnson. He worked his entire life in business, was successful, had his own money and said all of the right stuff. We had no way to verify that this guy really believed what he was saying or would stand up for it once he got to DC.
