So why don't I like Donald Trump?
The Briefing Room ^ | October 4, 2015 | andy58-in-nh/Andrew Kone

Posted on 10/11/2015 10:42:04 AM PDT by EveningStar

I'm a Tea Partier. I detest Obama and the Progressive hoard that has Washington, DC and large portions of America in a death grip. So why don't I like Donald Trump?

Honestly, sometimes I wonder what the hell is wrong with me these days. Why can't I get on the bandwagon along with so many others with whom I agree about most everything? ...

So what's the problem with Trump? In a nutshell: judgment, or rather a deficit of it, which in turn ought to make reasonable people otherwise inclined to agree with him to perhaps, think a bit harder about the consequences of their support for him in a precarious and dangerous world ...

Donald Trump’s “judgement” has made him into one of the most successful business men in America. Perhaps you need to get smarter!!

I think it's like calling yourself a conservative. It's an attempt to create credibility.

It's also like being a lady...if you have to tell people you are...

Apparently a conservative woman born, raised, and living in rural VA doesn’t know the difference between “some” and “all”.

“Old” history?

You mean like July of this year-—three months ago? When he told “Morning Joe” that many of his stances were those of a Democrat?

bears repeating:

So who is this great conservative you want to elect? Where is he hiding? Bring him out! Until he surfaces I’m going with Trump. He is a proven success as a businessman and negotiator, he has chutzpah and he tells it like it is. Did I mention he loves America and our servicemen? Did I mention he actually goes out of his way to help people when he’s not on camera or running for election? Did I mention the part where he doesn’t need to suck up to the Koch brothers like a man I thought might be a real conservative until he voted to surrender our Sovereignty with the TPA and up the immigration quotas for big business to get cheap H1 labor?

I’m for Trump because we need a tiger in our corner and I don’t care if he was once a democrat, doesn’t agree with every conservative point, or paid to play with both parties in his business career.

I’m for Trump because he is committed to making America strong again and as a pragmatist I believe he can make it happen.

Your comment is what I was thinking about Trump as well as the guy I thought was conservative. It's the doing and the voting that counts - not the grandstanding in a filibuster or shooting your mouth off in front of a crowd.

Yeah the GOP road the “Tea Party” label into power and then promptly dropped them. Lots of GOPe CLAIM to be “tea party” but they are not.

Which is why I don’t act like they do, unlike your buddy.

I read it.

It’s funny that anyone thinks an almost 70 year old creepy guy on the radio is going to bring in droves of you people to the GOP.

Rule number one: democrat lite does not work.

My question, in turn, is did you read my post?

Which is why I don’t end my posts with “There, I said it” as if I just said something important and profound.

That is reserved for The Great One.

Note to author.

If we don’t put our internal house in order, our foreign policy will not matter.

Trump has his priorities correct, you do not.

That's precisely the kind of response that explains why I don't post here any more. And to answer some of the other morons here assembled, yes I am a Tea Partier, a conservative activist for over 30 years, and a participant in the original Tea Party rallies in 2009.

Sorry, but Donald Trump just isn't my cup of Tea. Ted Cruz, on the other hand, is.

Sure, Trump’s not perfect and he will disappoint probably most close observers at multiple points in time.

But I don’t take him as a populist as in calculating to take whatever position is most popular with the masses. Have you seen that old clip of him being interviewed by Oprah decades ago? He was expressing really all the same thoughts in the same way back then that we are seeing now.
