Three Simple Questions for Trump Supporters
American Thinker ^ | February 26, 2016 | Daren Jonescu

Posted on 02/28/2016 10:30:31 AM PST by Avoiding_Sulla

One summer's evening, a skinny, not-particularly athletic boy, perhaps eleven years old, scored the most glorious touchdown of his life.  This was not a real game.  My friend and I, along with his older brother Phil, were just tossing a ball around in the park.  But it was a memorable triumph because I scored my touchdown by outmaneuvering Phil with a head fake, and then outrunning him for half the length of the field.  It was almost too easy!

snip

...today, addressing myself to any Trump supporters who are not already lost to the irrational anger he feeds on -- please don't scream about "righteous anger," as if I don't know the difference between justice and wrath -- I pose three simple questions:

(1) Don't you get the strange feeling that this has all been suspiciously easy?

snip

(2) Don't you find it odd that Trump, who habitually says the harshest, crudest, vilest things he can think of about anyone he perceives as an opponent or threat, never substantively criticizes the key players in the establishment at all?

snip

(3) If you were Rove, McConnell, and the rest of the GOP elite, and you wanted to end the growing grassroots threat to your power and influence once and for all, how would you go about it?

due to the many crossover democrats.

Why do you think a Democrat would cross over for someone that is against their core values? Unless they do in hopes that the someone will return to his grassroots..democratic party values.

And he did, too-- he made the trains run on time. Right up to the gates of the death camps.

You're mixing your tyrants.

But don't let me get in the way of a good foaming rant. :)

Tell me ONCE that Warren Buffet has criticized Trump. He hasn't, because Buffet knows he can profit from the chaos that Trump will bring.

You really SHOULD take your search engine in and have a mechanic or an engineer look at it, backwoods-engineer.

It appears to be missing on a few cylinders..

How many more posts are you going to be wrong on today?

Your comment is insulting beyond belief...

I have one and only one Savior . How dare you? Talk about acting like God you have a lot of nerve and not much brains.

For the record, I voted my conscience in the primary...ted Cruz.

I’m in the same position as you, there is no other I’m willing to vote for at this time.

Also, I agree it’s so transparent Alinksi-like and though the people I communicate with are not ‘falling for it’, I’m guessing there are enough mushy votes who can’t take a firm stand and see it through.

Seriously though, who is voting for Rubio? The idea of millions more immigrants makes my head hurt - where is the money for this experiment? Oh right, there isn’t any and that’s not the point anyway, rather it’s to make us weak and ultimately subjects. And Cruz? He comes off as more creepy every week that goes by and I’m sick of his holier than thou bull****. He simply doesn’t possess the skill to take jabs at Trump, he looks foolish.

I won’t bother going on and on, we are on the same page and just skimming the threads is reason enough to back off. The hate is strong and I honestly wonder how Trump manages to keep going. But one thing is for certain, if I come across one more freakin thread that suggests I cite my reasons for supporting him, I’m ending my monthly donations and will likely lose any remaining interest in this free for all.

I was wrong to even post on a Trump thread.

How is it that you've been around FR since its earliest days -- and are still, intellectually, in the third grade?

Now, tell us that you did, indeed, read the entire article -- yet, still came up with that brilliant, analytical comment -- and we will happily promote you to the second grade...

Trump backed the ethanol lobby, said he'd keep the mandate, and the EPA to enforce it to the fullest extent of the law.

AND he's going to "Make America Great Again"...

That's all I needed to know, and that was just Iowa. Nuts.

Well, I can’t see a problem with Ted. Is he perfect, no, but I daresay he is a much more constitutionally minded chief executive.

I do not advocate a dictatorship. Both DT and HRC are imperialists. There are others who are not. Choosing between Hillary and the Donald is like choosing strawberry or cherry koolaide, with a blindfold on you can’t tell the difference.

For the record, it’s good you posted. Otherwise I’d fear that FR had wholly been taken over by the angry and the fearful along with agit-prop and GOPe agents to stir the pot.

Trump is the right wrench available to throw into the wheels of The Cheap Labor Express.

Trump is an icon of the Cheap Labor Express, that is, unless you think this employer of busboys, maids, groundskeepers, and construction laborers hires only Americans. You'd be wrong.

OMG, this guy is a nut. He really thinks Trump has gotten what he calls “a pass” from the MSM, but even worse, he’s a Canadian professor
