Look, I get it.
I understand why folks want Trump.
I just wish my fellow FReepers/conservatives would admit that why they want him “trumps” their normally conservative ideals. It becomes crazy-land when heretofore conservative folks (even purists) throw that overboard because they finally have someone who can take on the establishment/fight for their cause/say what’s on their mind/shake things up.
If the conversations were more like, “Yeah, I know. He’s a little scary to me, too. I know. He’s only SAID what he’s going to do so far. He hasn’t actually done it.” “Yeah, I know. That’s not the way I would have said that.” “Yeah, you’re right. It’s hard to know what he’s going to actually do based on his background.”
“BUT...at least he’s damned well taking it back to them! At least he’s SAYING the right things! At least there’s someone in the race for President that is finally got the GOPe shook!”
I could have conversations with folks like that. But when any criticism, any complaint, anything that might be construed as less than full-throated support invites attacks, flames, mischaracterizations, etc., it’s just a little worrisome.
I wonder what conservatism in some people is actually based on. The gang mentality is stupefying.
I’m not against Trump, exactly. But I’ve got lots of questions about him.
I just pity the folks who can’t have conversations about him; honest conversations...without devolving into condescending, twisted, name-calling spats.
BTTT...

A very good post by Jeff Head,
There are a few posters on both sides that are trying to get Freepers all fired up and divided.
Jeff Head is a Cruz supporter, and I agree with him.
God Bless
