To all patriots who support Trump and who watched the Republican Presidential debate the other night in Greenville, South Carolina. I speak to you as a conservative who is as frustrated with Obama and the Republican elite establishment as you are.
That said, I am having great difficulty understanding the rational for the continued Trump support after the debate.
Do you really think that a Republican was the reason for 9/11?
Do you really believe Trump when he said Bush lied on purpose about Iraq?
Do you really believe Trump that Bush lost the Iraqi war instead of the truth which is that Bush won the Iraqi war and then Obama walked away from an Iraqi victory and it is Obama’s failures that brought about ISIS?
Trump has made charges that even the hardest of all Democrats are unwilling to make. We don’t advance and win the White House by agreeing with the Democrats in their wild conspiracy theories.
What about Trump’s stance on foreign policy? We see the impacts to our national security from Obama leading from behind. Trump’s vision is similar to Obama’s. He wants to make other nations fight our interest and wants to allow Russia to continue in its fight against the interest of the United States. Trump cannot even recognize the obvious that Russia is not attacking ISIS. Is Trump that naive like Obama? Great, the same Americans that flocked to support Obama now race to Trump with the same results being achieved.
I was giving Trump the benefit of the doubt until the other night when he quickly shed any pretense that he was anything but another liberal clone. For any conservative who supports Trump, wake up. Trump is not a conservative and no Republican should be snickered to think otherwise.
We are mutually tired and sick at our Republican Party establishment that has failed to stand up against the Obama juggernaut. Obama was elected by mainstream media that built him up to a God celebrity status. Trump is another renowned celebrity king and once again the entertainment mind-set is predominate and runs amok in our pick for our next President.
Wow, after the Obama disaster, why follow and place your dreams on a man of little statue, integrity, honor, or character to our highest office. I just don’t get it. I agree with some of the arguments of Trump, but I don’t trust his character or his integrity to follow through on his promises. Already he has backtracked. He speaks in platitudes when he is not heaving personal attacks against a fellow Republican. He has little capacity of the historical facts to take great advantage of Hillary or Bernie during a debate.
Trump incessantly speaks about his negotiation skills. Yes, we are mad as heck about our Republican leader’s failure to fight Obama, Reid, and Pelosi, but if you listen to Trump, his great asset he states is his negotiating skills with Democrats. Really? He said he would not use the Executive Privilege to force his opinions and he has repeatedly attacked conservative Republicans like Cruz for fighting against Obama. So then what can we really expect from a Trump negotiation with a potential Democrat controlled Senate after 2016? Do you really think Trump will fight for conservative principles? Keep dreaming?
Heck, think about the reality of the Supreme Court under a Trump Administration. He recently stated that former liberal Republican Senator Brown would be a good Supreme Court candidate. That said, in your heart, how do you reconcile the notion that Trump will appoint a conservative legal scholar on the Supreme Court? Please, stop being delusional and don’t place dreams upon Trump that he will not meet for a second. Go ahead and nominate more moderate to liberal Supreme Court Justices and you can kiss away your prosperity, gun rights, religious freedoms, freedom of speech, and equal justice under the law. Oh yes, you must like the abuses of the EPA, IRS, overzealous governmental regulations, etc. Keep with Trump and you are guaranteed to live your future in Obama’s transnational system.
It is time to smell the roses my friends instead of being led to the privy. Our nation cannot stand or afford another failure of a President. We cannot elect a Marxist like Bernie, a criminal like Hillary, nor another narcissist like Trump who bellows and attacks across the wide spectrum but under that false facade, there is an empty suit.
Please, let’s not bet our nation’s future on a liberal who turned conservative and then sways with the wind when it suits his interest.
The time for reflection is upon us. Do not be swayed by me, the media, or Trump’s lofty words. Think historically of what the Presidency stood for and the caliber of the man elected to that esteemed office. Obama subverted our constitution and failed the leadership test. I beseech you, do not allow yourself, my fellow Americans, to chase in vein the same pipe dream and failed entertainer leadership.
Obama and all our establishment elites on both sides of the isle destroyed our view and respect of government. Let’s not now resort to the same type of flaw character choice for President. Please do not let your short memory abate your duty to this country to elect a President who will secure and protect our liberty, our rule of law, our prosperity, and our national interest.
As a way to 'thank us' for our effort Republicans HAVE NOT:
balanced the budget,
secured the borders,
stopped the flood of illegals,
built the wall,
saved Social Security,
fixed the VA
ETC
... in short they've DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I'm not a brain dead liberal who wants change for the sake of change... I want change based on our people keeping their damn word on something...
If Trump’s the nominee, I’ll vote for him.
We aren’t there yet.
Some polls show Cruz beating Hillary but Trump in a tie.......
Cruz is a true conservative and the lies about him being a liar are.....lies........Trump’s name-calling tactics are those of a weak man - not a strong one.....an insecure man, not a true leader....a manifestation of fear and weakness, not strength.......Alinsky-like tactics.......
If they don’t keep their word we’re going to elect people like Trump - a man who WILL keep his word.
Then we’ll start going down the list and seeing who is making an attempt to secure our borders - and if they’re NOT doing that - we’ll run someone against them.
That’s how the system works... slow to create ‘the good’ and slow for the bad guys when they want to create evil.
It’s a nice system - not the best - just the best that exists in our world.
Not only did they not keep their word they gave us ALL the middle finger straight up with the new budget!!!!
Trump will
Secure the borders
Stop illegals from flooding into the country
Send illegals home
Built a Wall
Save the VA and make it work FOR vets or abolish it..
Balance the budget
MAKE SANE TRADE DEALS
STOP THE JOB LOSS TO MEXICO AND CHINA
You’re right on that Kit... that’s what they did...
Guess you didn’t understand what I was saying or I wasn’t clear ... take your DJT - if there was somewhere else left to go I’d be there.
We should have handed them an iron clad Constitution and enforced it for 10 years. That way every two-bit monster would know that going to war with the US means NO POWER FOR MONSTERS in the foreseeable future.
Our guys can win a war - but they can't overcome evil brain dead leagues of narcissists in the State Department.
Strategic base between Iran and Syria. We were foolish to leave. Ever.
Embrace it...
We have the maps - the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights... The revolution and the way...
OK, now do I get what you're saying?
Desperate?
Winning by nearly double the votes of your next closest competitor?
Yep that’s desperate.
No.
I would love to see the documentation on that. Please send it via Freep Mail. Thank you!
yeah, because the smart answer is to go further left than the establishment.
Brilliant
Oh, false choice straw dog red herring argument anyway.....
sorry, you are ignoring context. Within the context, that’s ZACKLY what was said.
Context matters.
no, his supporters are quite fond of ignoring context.
Once in office, Bush and his Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta followed up with federal programs to wipe out profiling of Arabs at airports.
I don't think 9-11 was caused by Republicans, I think 9-11 was caused by terrorists and that the "establishment" failed on a number of levels over the years.
I also don't think GWB lied... after all we have video of Bill Clinton and others making passionate speeches in favor of a regime change in Iraq... before GWB even was elected.
That said, this is all irrelevant at this point... we can't change the past. We need to deal with the present and the future.
It's clear to me that the "establishment", which consists of both Democrats and Republicans, is out of control and doesn't have our best interests at heart. This is why I wan't an outsider like Trump to come in and clean house for a bit. Electing another career politician won't help one bit.
Trump can say whatever he wants to get elected... positioning himself as having been against the Iraq invasion while Hillary was for it is a smart tack to take in order to win over a certain segment of the population who isn't well-informed about that part of history.
You wish Trump said that, unfortunately he didn’t
