I cannot get over the absurdity of some FReepers, and they don’t even realize it when they do the absurd thing.

We have watched the Left trash us unmercifully for literally decades. Clear back into Reagan’s day they bashed, trashed, and lashed out at us.

How many thousands of times have we said, “Dammit, why doesn’t our side defend our values and our honor?”

Along comes a guy who dishes as good as he gets, and all of a sudden he’s described as a rude obnoxious bastard who would destroy our nation.

They actually said that about Ronald Reagan too. Do you realize that?

Donald Trump is not the perfect man.

Frankly I haven’t seen one on our side. We can talk about the flaws in every candidate. And yep, every one of them has them.

All these supposedly Conservative sites that are outing themselves right now, are losing standing with me.

I’m not the only one either.

I was totally on board with the first part of your comment. Then you lost me with the last part.

You said:
“How many thousands of times have we said, ‘Dammit, why doesn’t our side defend our values and our honor?’”

A dishonorable man is not able to defend our values and honor, no matter what he says. He’s not defending our values and honor, he’s just dishing back. That’s not a reliable leader.

I don’t reject him because he’s a rude, obnoxious bastard, I reject him because he has shown no mooring in his life except serving himself and talking about how great he is. That’s not just a flaw, that’s a man who came late to the conservative party and shows evidence he’s not staying long.

Except that, in the case of Trump, all available evidence indicates that he's not even a Republican, much less a conservative. He has, however, been in bed with the Clintons for decades. Suddenly, he decides to step out of the shadows and into the GOP nomination race with illegal immigration as his signature issue, after years of abject silence on the matter. When he does that, thousands of GOP primary voters line up behind this guy, dividing the vote of the party, all to the complete benefit of Hitlery Clinton, his political client was of long standing.

Pardon me for thinking that the Clintons have found a way to make this look easy. Theirs is an almost "can't lose" strategy at this point.
