Conservatives pride themselves on high standards.
But they give Trump a pass because they read into him whatever they want.
Intellectually, he’s unimpressive.
The same things people ridiculed about Ross Perot, they swoon with over Trump.
I think your intellectual measurement radar is off.
Trump is very sharp.
“But they give Trump a pass because they read into him whatever they want.”
I have heard that line before; some people think it is so damn perceptive and penetrating.
Tell me, when Trump says he will build a wall on the Mexican border, what kind of meaning am I assigning to those words that really have nothing to do with building a wall?
When Trump says he will deport all illegals and make this nation a nation of laws again, exactly what meaning can I assign to those words that have nothing to do with deportation?
When Trump says he will repair our trade treaties, exactly what hidden meaning am I attaching to those words that have nothing to do with repairing our trade treaties?
When Trump says he can very Constitutionally end birthright citizenship, what exactly can I so easily construe his meaning to be other than ending birthright citizenship?
I can go on, but you get the drift.
