Start by reading Trump’s policy objectives on his campaign website. If you have questions after that let me know and I will be glad to respond when I get to my laptop and off this smartypants phone.
I am an evangelical Christian conservative, who refused to support Romney or McCain. Trump pays lip service to nothing he is boldly forceful in his convictions.
Thank you all for your offers of help to understand. I think I get what he is saying regarding the issues, I’m just not sure that I’m not being sold a line. When the hard-sell comes, I typically and instinctively jerk hard the other direction. I’m picking up some of this out of Trump and his apologists. Plus, as a social conservative, I feel like I’m being told to just shut up and go along for the ride.
We are all freedom-lovers here. I can’t just shut off my skepticism and jump on the Trump bandwagon, especially when my values are being downplayed and ignored at best and assaulted at worst and I feel like I’m being sold a used Ford with 187,000 miles on it. Looks good on the outside, but how’s the transmission? I’m going to very closely consider his positions, but I cannot ignore his former actions either. He may very well be the best of the rest, but I’ll take my time and figure it out.
Smooth sailing - Thanks for the article. I gave it a read, but I’ll bookmark it to go through more thoroughly. With regards to one of my previous posts, I am just posting my opinion. It was not intended as an attack. My apologies if you were offended.
Lord bless,
Refreshed
1. But what are those convictions?
2. Based on how quickly Trump switched from favoring the disgusting, immoral practice of partial birth abortion (based on NY values in Trump’s words)around the time he wants to run as a Republican, how do we know he won’t change his other positions depending on how the wind blows?
3. Given how he changes wives the way other people change cars, can Trump be trusted to carry out the goals he claims to favor now?
4. How do we know that the master salesman isn’t selling us a story just to perpetuate his name and ego?
Legitimate questions that will probably lead to name calling rather than serious discussion. The Trumpettes name call rather than explain because the reality is Trump is the PT Barnum. Trump has no clues but talks to people (myself included) who are angry at how we have been sold out by politicians. Is he playing us cause it sure looks like it?
