I don’t say any such thing.
I agree with almost everything Trump says. He’s running a fairly conservative campaign. I can see exactly why conservatives could gravitate towards him.
I just don’t believe him. He has no record whatsoever on which to make his case.
Every election cycle, every member of the establishment is a conservative. I just wish they had a record the rest of the time that backed up their campaign rhetoric. Ironically, this is the same issue I have with Trump.
Trump is trying a new model which hasn’t been tested in the USA. He is attempting to gather a populist parade that will give him political backup for the things he has been promising. If Congress won’t cooperate (forget judicial issues) he won’t get anywhere.
Trump’s model MIGHT fail. However, the existing “Uniparty” system IS known to fail.
I see it as a populist Hail Mary that, if it fails, there is nothing else in the world to fall back on. Less and less bread and more and more circuses is the weather forecast in such a case.
We shouldn’t be leaning on a secular official anyhow, even if we could garner one as “good” as Ronald Reagan. Without the activity of the church in its own separate sphere, we’re only playing shuffleboard on the deck of the Titanic.
