I liked how he addressed the issue of abortion.
“I never liked it, but I was never asked about it. Now I’m in a political setting and I have had to confront it.” (paraphrased)
I knew this intuitively, but it was interesting to see him address the issue like that. He’s a methodical thinker. He lets it all hang out there.
You know folks, this guy gets it. I’m sorry some of our FReepers don’t.
In deference to other FReepers that may feel otherwise, Trump is a breath of fresh air blown into what otherwise would have been a “same old, same old” stagnant “hold your nose and vote for x” campaign. Many were looking for their candidate to emerge and carry the mantle. The Walker, Cruz, Bush, Rubio and Paul camps have been waiting for their candidate’s moment to shine and it was all washed away, for now, at least, by an insurgent, Trump tsunami (admittedly with a Carson, or outsider, follow on) that no one really anticipated. It is still early, and slot can change, but if this continues a few more months we may have just witnessed a watershed event in politics and the history of our country not unlike the Reagan revolution. Trump is no Reagan, but our country is very different and these times are very different. Nonetheless, we need strong, definitive, America first leadership right now. It may not be classical conservatism, but sometimes you deal with the cards as their dealt.
