I like this forum a lot. Just found it and it’s a good place to talk. But let me make this short. I like Donald because he says it how most people would and he punches back hard. Most conservatives are more interested in policy papers and their “principles” which include losing the country, rather than winning. I’d rather take someone who is 70 percent conservative that can actually win a national election
I see a lot of conservative women complaining about his misogyny. Are we anti PC or not? And a lot of men in middle America still believe that “traditional values” includes women staying at home with the kids and the man working, go ask an evangelical if you don’t believe me. His rhetoric is no different than the many college frats and their members in the USA. That's how a lot, and I mean a huge amount, of men talk about women. They even do it in the conservative movement, you just don't see because they aren't running for president. So do conservatives support political correctness or not? Do conservative women want the same special treatment liberal women get? Do we still have a group that actually believes in traditional values, or just going to church every Sunday is enough for you?
For years conservatives have bemoaned illegal immigration. How do you know he won’t do what that? How do you know any of the other candidates will? Do you want Americans to get their jobs back? Do you want a strong response to Terrorism? Free Trade, could the base be any clearer they don’t like it. Seems only true conservatives on the internet defend it. These same true conservatives work at nonprofit think tanks which don’t produce… anything.
For many Americans, things have just changed too much. This is bigger than true conservatism, Obama or Hillary. They see a country in decline and this is the last chance to stop it.
First, let me say that I've never liked Donald Trump. He's always been a gasbag braggart, and most people don't find those qualities very likeable. As I've watched him in action this past year, I've come to detest him. Ben Shapiro nailed it when he called Trump a "garbage human being."
Have you seen the video of Trump openly mocking the disabled journalist? It's disgraceful...what kind of person does that?
Trump has proven himself to be a habitual liar. I don't believe a thing he says. Almost everything that comes out of his mouth has an expiration date; it's true until he walks it back or until someone in his campaign says it wasn't meant to be taken literally. I honestly don't understand why anyone takes the man seriously. Well, yes, I do....anger and desperation. Still no excuse.
As for female conservatives taking issue with Trump's remarks, let me clue you in on something. I'm not a feminist. I'm a pretty traditional woman. But Donald Trump is on record as having said, "You have to treat women like s--t." If you think I'm fool enough to vote for a person who holds me in such utter contempt, well...you're mistaken.
Trump isn't a strong man. He's just arrogant and not that smart.
