Here's the irony. I totally get why you don't like Donald Trump. When I hear him speak there's a cringe factor. I get that. We know he's not a pure conservative, I get that. But that's not important to me. He's just the best choice for conservatives in 2016.
He's best on four core issues: fiscal policy, trade policy, immigration policy and foreign policy.
He defies ideological classification. He attracts every demographic group along the entire ideological spectrum. Making him the best conservative with crossover appeal.
And as president, the media will be his little ball of yarn.
Edit: Forgot one last thing: SEN. JEFF SESSIONS!!!
I'm not a "pure conservative" so I couldn't care less about whether a candidate is one or not. In fact, that purity crap is what's been wrong with the GOP for years now.
My problem is that Trump is not a Republican but he is working inside the GOP to end the GOP as a viable political party, leaving ONLY the Democratic Party behind.
This is not my first rodeo, and I'm not some political naif, and I see this election becoming the end of the GOP.
Many people will cheer for that, but they are plain stupid, because there's simply nothing ready to fill the void left after the GOP becomes irrelevant.
I expect that those very same idiots will pipe in "they're irrelevant now" but they're just ignorant mental midgets that can't see beyond the glass of cheap bourbon next to their keyboard. They can't see what will happen when the last vestige of resistance against unbound socialism is removed from government.
You take victory laps. You're claiming victory. But what is it that have you won?
What have you accomplished in this victory that you're celebrating?
You're not celebrating answers to the problems that face us. Trump delivers no answers... I've been listening carefully. He doesn't.
You know that as well as I do.
You put your faith and the fate of the nation in a man that makes you cringe when he speaks, and no, he's not the best choice for conservative in 2016 because he's not a conservative at all. He's just the guy who makes you feel good because you're backing the apparent winner.
Give a prostitute money and she'll swear that you're the best lover she's ever had. That doesn't make you a good lover. It makes you a John to a prostitute.
Trump is poison. If you don't believe me, then you haven't been paying attention.
Look around this forum.
He's poison.
The fact that you believe him to be "the best" in any issue relating to government is your projection and has no basis in reality. You have no idea what Trump as a public servant will be, because Trump has never been a public servant, and from the looks of things, he doesn't like to be opposed. Don't expect the opposition to just roll over and play dead for President Donald "Malleable" Trump. Having seen the destruction of the GOP, all they'll have left to do is destroy him.
You want to think that he's the best at those things because if you don't, what it says about your support of the man is too ugly for even you to contemplate.
It's not that he defies ideological classification. It's that he lacks an ideological center, period. How you can say that, and in the same post claim that he's the best choice for conservatives in 2016, illustrates just how truly lost you are.
He's poison, and you're drinking the poison by the gallon.
