I meant do you see any viable Conservative candidates out there?
No... But that is because it is off-season, and I am out of the loop (and will remain so). I won't even be looking anymore until they throw their hat in the ring - Then I will dissect their records more than their promises from the stump, and see who I might back.
Understand what the Left has just accomplished over the years.
They have accomplished nothing - They don't win on principle. They win because they have no opposition.
They have managed to discourage most good people from even wanting to get involved in politics.
That much may be true - But I don't blame it very much on liberals. I blame it on mere Republicans, who actively settle for less and less - 'The lesser of two evils', as the mantra goes, which has left us with nothing but evil. It is considered untoward, according to Republican preachers, to actually insist upon the good.
And I will blame it on naked populism, and absurd hero worship, and all the other hallmarks of pragmatism, which needs only plausible deniability to suspend disbelief, and push all the chips to the center of the table to bet on fantasy.
This is what we have to work with.
Nope. This is what we CHOSE to work with. Just desserts.
I believe, Trump, whatever his faults may be, decided to step into the breech and to take the arrows he knew surely would come. I give him a lot of credit for that, even though he's far from "perfect". But he isn't a skilled politician, and unfortunately that may be his undoing. But I'm still rooting for him.
I believe nothing of the kind. I believe his record, which spells 'back-east NYC liberal', and that in bold case. He is a man lacking character, and as such, does not have the wherewithal to govern according to principles and rule-sets, by his very nature. His undoing is fore-ordained, and is as simple as this: He is not Conservative, is not governed by conservative principles, and is lacking integrity - ergo, he will fail, just as every other Republican president and congress failed since Reagan (with the exception of the 94 congress, for a little while).
