Trump is credible on these things because he came out with his proposals when it was politically unpopular and dangerous to do so. Ted echoed with similar policies only after Trump had cleared the way. In my view, only one of those men showed real courage and leadership when it mattered
That’s pretty weak sauce, considering that opposition to ethanol subsidies was only politically courageous in exactly ONE state.
Meanwhile, Trump staked out courageous positions on illegal immigration, muslim refugees, trade, taxes, political correctness, the VA, terrorism, black unemployment, the media, Hillary’s hypocritical ‘war on women’, and crony capitalism.
Along the way, he skewered Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, Megyn Kelly, assorted leftist asshats, also-ran opponents, the Obama regime, Univision and the pro-illegals crowd, and various GOP-e pundits.
Ted did none of that - preferring to stay what he thought was the safe course, spewing most of his vitriol at Trump, the one guy who’s fearlessly taking it to our true enemies.
Hell, when given a golden opportunity to stand up to the thugs on the left, Ted chose to side with BLM, the OWSers, and La Raza, against Trump.
Ted’s a fraud, and it’s time you checked your blind support for him. His reputation as a ‘consistent conservative’ doesn’t hold an ounce of water.
