I’m not what you’d call a member of the Trump brigade, though I’ll be voting for him in the general, as it seems likely he’ll be the nominee. However, I’m feeling less and less troubled by that potential vote as time goes on. I’m still quite sure there is going to be a hell of a lot of buyers remorse amongst many actual conservatives here at FR, but I am beginning to think that a man like him is exactly what we need, if he’s able to keep speaking his mind and doesn’t get roped into the beltway mentality.
The way I see it, we are quickly approaching the waterfall, we need to reach a rock to stop from going over, and that rock is Trump. Then eventually we can worry about being rescued and getting back to business as usual.
Have you considered the extent of buyers remorse if it’s not Trump? Get a grip or get out!
For “actual conservatives” read “ideological conservatives”. An actual conservative is someone looking for a way to conserve our values and our nation in these times of chaos, not to say insanity. Well, here’s our chance.
