Are YOU a populist or rational..?
Interesting comments from the caller.
“Well, I think he’s bringing credence to the conservative mentality. If they like him as an icon, they recognize his success, they feel like he’s a happening guy, and so it’s not so —”
The Donald is a happening guy. Well, that explains his popularity with the happening crowd. I wouldn’t vote for him on a bet, but maybe he can wake up a few of the idiots.
On another note, I disagree with Rush on one point. It’s not “conservative” to oppose “free trade” as it is currently practiced—biased against us by international committees, and destroying our industrial base. Yes, the Chamber of Commerce likes free trade, but the Chamber of Commerce is not always conservative.
I don’t know about a 25% tarriff, but I think we need at least SOME tarriffs on goods from most countries, if we’re ever going to get our economy back and become self-sufficient once again.
If you look back at 2008, you'll see that both Rush and Hannity did not reject the candidacies of Giuliani or Romney. Two liberals that no conservative in their right frame of mind should ever be defending or supporting.
This is an instant replay with Trump. Hannity’s softball interview with Trump did not fool anyone. And I wouldn't call Rush's interview of Trump a serious effort. That is, unless you've already allowed yourself to be hoodwinked by a professional huckster.
