What’s Up With Trump Haters?
Take
a look at the current crop of people vying for the nomination for the GOP
ticket. One has to notice that it looks similar to the one in 2007. Two things were of little doubt back then:
first, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, and Ron Paul, were clearly the best of the
pick. Second: Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and Mitt Romney were without a doubt
the worst; McCain obviously being the worst of the worst. That being the typical GOP pattern, it is of
little doubt that Jebbie will be the next GOP candidate for which few will
vote. Is Jebbie the worst possible candidate running? Unquestionably. Is Donald
Trump the best candidate we have? Not at all but we should be glad he is
running. Why?
First,
the obvious; the GOP will NEVER allow Trump to get the nomination, so unless he
goes back on his pledge to the lying liars who got him to sign it and goes 3rd
party, no one will have to decide whether or not to vote for him. The GOP will certainly stoop to the same
tactics they used to derail Ron Paul’s nomination if necessary. Those who
believe they would permit it are probably the same folks who see imagined
differences in the parties themselves.
Consider
the things Trump says. He is actually saying the very things that other
Republicans got elected for saying. Yes, he may say them more harshly, but what
conservative, (perhaps “constitutionalist” is a better term) doesn’t cry out
against the tyranny of political correctness?
What is surprising is that so many people thought of as intelligent,
free-thinking constitutionalists, such as Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Rick Perry,
and others rail against Trump by calling him names, picking fights, and screaming
that he is not a true conservative. Here’s a newsflash, PEOPLE AIN’T BEHIND
TRUMP BECAUSE HE IS CONSERVATIVE! Got that? We all know he is not a true
conservative so quit trying to be some shining beacon to show “Trumpeters?” the
way to enlightenment. What Trump is saying, and doing, is showing all these GOP
wussies that a man can speak his mind, say the things that most American
patriots are thinking, and stand behind them without backing down. How did Ben Carson get a recent bump in the
polls? By speaking and acting like Trump. He made a statement, had it
misquoted, and stood by it while little Lindsey wet her panties and demanded
apologies, which has been the GOP “strategy” for decades now.
Nothing
could be considered more constitutional than to make true statements without
malice and standing by them. Politicians don’t like Trump because he stands on
principle rather than stand with special interest contributors. Who do you think controls the elections? You?
The Parties? Corporations? Guess what, it’s the big…no…huge campaign
donors. Obviously, they don’t like Trump
because he can’t/won’t be bought. Isn’t
that a great thing?
I
raised 6 kids. Sometimes I’d hold up 2 fingers and say, “There are only 2
things. There’s getting it done, and there’s NOT getting it done. There is no
in-between. You either get it done or you don’t. And no amount of excuses will
get it done or make things any different. Excuses only work for government
employees who never get things done anyway.” So I ask you, for all his common
sense, logic, patriotism, and intellect, did Ron Paul get it done? Son, Rand?
McConnell? Boehnor? The GOP? Anyone? TRUMP
HAS SHOWN THAT HE GETS THINGS DONE! That is his appeal. The GOP had total
control of the federal government from 2002-2008 and both houses of congress
for the past year. Did they secure the borders? Lower spending? Shrink government?
Slow union tyranny? Expand citizens’ liberty? Or have they made all those
things worse? I suggest the latter. Did
they “promise” to do all those things to get elected, and reelected, and
reelected, and reelected? Practically all of them. And people want to destroy the one man who
just might have the balls to do what they said they would do? And his critics call
themselves patriots? People also complain that he used to be a DemonRat. Ok, so how else is he like Ronald Reagan? Is he not anti-abortion enough for you? Not
intellectual enough? Constitutional enough? Perfect enough? Well, I’d ask
anyone insisting on the perfect candidate to study the history of Ron Paul’s
presidency. Or Harry Browne’s.
Has
anyone noticed that Republican candidates who go after Trump are falling by the
wayside? Rick Perry and Scott Walker, both
quite vitriolic towards Trump couldn’t weather the drop in polls after decrying
Trump’s rhetoric. And unfortunately, it looks like the formerly respected Rand
Paul and Bobby Jindal will suffer the same fate. Carly Fiorina conversely, saw
a rise in her popularity when she used the Trump model to stand up to him to
refute his claims about her business history.
People
need to understand that Trump is a POPULIST, not a CONSERVATIVE candidate. That
means that he appeals to a broad spectrum of people and a high percentage agree
with many of his views and attitudes. He
speaks for them. When these candidates
try to make fun of him or shoot him down, what they are doing, in essence, is telling
his broad range of supporters, “You are silly and boorish. You don’t belong
here with the ruling class. You will settle for the establishment candidates
you are given”. And we, the people have had just about as much of that as we
are going to take. If the establishment doesn’t like our candidate, then voters
want him that much more. If both parties despise him, the big donors fear him,
the media attacks him, he must be the best hope to break the chains all those
groups enjoy having around our necks. How many of you Ron Paul fans consider
yourselves to be anti-establishment? Well, Trump is turning out to be the
anti-establishment candidate. Sure, that means he has no record on which to run
or be judged. Most of the other candidates have blemishes, some horrendous, such
as Rand Paul’s vote recently, to continue to fund the human slaughterhouse
called Planned Parenthood.
Look,
one of the biggest faults of the GOP is the pathetic lack of support, loyalty,
and defense they show for one another. Why do this? Why show such hatred toward
Trump? Like it or not, HE IS ONE OF OUR
CANDIDATES! Remember Reagan’s 11th commandment; don’t speak ill of
another party candidate. Yes, that would
include, I guess Lindsey Grahamnesty. If
you want to bash the Republicans go after McConnell, Boner, McCain, etc. God
knows there is plenty of RINO crap out there. If Trump’s not your guy, fine but
don’t work on destroying one candidate and think you are helping your own. Aside
from Jebbie, Grahamnesty, and very others, we have a great selection of good
candidates who seem to want to increase liberty and return us to constitutional
governance. Please look at the big
picture and direct your hatred, bile, and vitriol at the bigger enemy, the
liberals of all parties.
