A Serious Question for the Trump Supporters
Red State ^ | October 21, 2015 | Leon H. Wolf

Posted on 10/21/2015 2:08:43 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

I have a serious question for the Trump supporters, and I hope they will be able to answer it, at least to themselves. It is a question that every supporter of every candidate should be able to answer if they consider themselves a thinking voter instead of a mindless, drooling sports fan. The question is this:

What, hypothetically, would Trump have to do or say to cause you to stop supporting him?

SNIP

............It’s supposed to matter what candidates think, do, and say. There should be a point with literally every candidate where something they have done would push us over the edge to the point that we wouldn’t support them anymore.

On issues, he just struggles to lay out details and anything more than headline material.
***************************************
Why should Trump give more details of his plans to his opponents in both parties?

Do sports coaches share their game plans and strategies with their opponents?

Stupid.

What would make you forsake your favored candidate?

I would not vote for Trump on February 9 (whether or not I “support” him is unimportant) if he announced that he had rethought the illegal alien invasion and that, on the whole, the vibrancy and diversity they brought to our country was a plus.

Other than that, I’m all in.

Great statement! These “youngsters” on FR have no idea how conservative FR used to be back then. Now, on average it’s moderate.

Good point. Reagan played the same game of going over everyone’s heads and directly to the people.

Trump has decided to run and win the election his way and it’s giving the nabobs fits. He’s moved on from 9/11 to closing down “bad mosques”. LOL, I love it.

I hope Red State reads this post. The answer for me, and for you, should be simple. Trump is his own man. Give me another candidate who is not bought out and paid for by the big fat donor corporatists and then I may reconsider. Trouble is you will not find a single other candidate that can pass the test. Now, give me another question. That last one was easy.

Sure seems like it. The other options are Hillary or Sanders. Carson would certainly not endorse the dirty tactics you have employed here since the beginning of the season... who could it be? Miss Lindsay? Come clean SUCCUBUS. Who do you support with such vehemence as to trash the conservatives Chuck Norris equivalent?

So, what’s the point of conducting this foolish exercise?


A foolish exercise never conducted against any other candidate. An exercise never conducted in FR. An exercise never conducted on any other website.

Only against Trump.

Suddenly its a burning question for Trump supporters.

1. Praise the Kelo decision, stating he’s “100% in support of it.”
2. Change his party identification to democrat mere months after 9/11.
3. Deride the wartime record of a decorated veteran, though having never served in the military himself.
4. Extol the “virtues” of Canadian-style single-payer health care.
5. Make statements bordering on “trutherism” vis-a-vis 9/11.

Exactly. Cruz has to know he has been frozen and needs to break out of the mold he has created for himself. A couple of terms with the Donald would do him well.

Your near daily shtick is very tiresome. First with Walker and now this. You are part of the GOPe problem.


Well stated.

Not part of the GOPe.

But part of the GOPe problem.

In other words, tell us what crisis we have to manufacture to get you to stop supporting Trump.

ON the whole you might be right, but I think Trump has toyed with the idea of running for some time. He's written books. I think the last couple years he could see it.

I think he had the confidence but no success. Then with a little confidence ie being himself, he said things that everyone was thinking...

He's in the enviable position that he can now be himself.. who in essence is one of us.

He's the guy who just saved me from making a terrible mistake.

I will admit that I am somewhat of a low information imbecile type of voter.

Well, I’m sorry .. but I’m not giving Red State some talking point they can chase like a rabbit to see if they can goad Trump into making some gaff they can exploit.

I stopped expecting perfection from people a long time ago.

If Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him.
