Trump carries

[Irving]

So while I don't share the enthusiasm for Trump, I get it.

Yes, exactly this.

Trump is here because a real conservative can't possibly hope to compete with the free stuff liberal. We are screwed because most people value laziness and comfort over freedom because freedom requires effort and responsibility. Trump is still going to get my vote because his beliefs are marginally more similar to mine than Hillary's. Maybe he'll get trickle down economics going again.

I think Trump is the republican party-created Frankenstein. The people elected republicans on the promise of a more conservative government. The republicans elected failed to produce time after time after time. People got tired of it. The big "FU" to the republican party really started when they failed to go out and vote for Romney by the millions (though that was somewhat like cutting off your nose to spite your face). It's no secret conservatives are disgusted with the republican party. Trump capitalized on the sentiment and here we are.

I'm really not a fan. But I have to say I've noticed a big improvement in the content and delivery in his speeches from a few months ago and today. It's almost like he's turning into the standard politician. Yippee.

Bailey, I usually agree with you but I think Trump is instead the Republican Party's nightmare. He's an outsider who capitalized on Republicans fed up with establishment "strategy" and non-Republicans to take over the GOP nomination. He claimed he was bringing all these people to the Republican Party; how many will actually vote Republican in the General? People can look forward to more of it if they pass 107 and 108. I'm Unaffiliated myself but when I feel strongly about a desire to express an opinion on ______ Party's nomination, I register with that party.

I am a big fan of conservatives taking back the GOP but Trump is hardly an example of that. As you say, disgruntled conservatives probably fed the big "FU" to the party but I don't think they were a fundamental force behind it. I agree, the content of his speeches has improved this week -- I wish the speeches he and his son Eric gave this week had been done a month ago. I wish they'd been airing the anti-Hillary ads for the past month. I hope to God I'm slapping myself in 2 weeks thinking, "President-elect Trump? Really?"

Whether he's their creation or their nightmare...could be either one. But it seems to me it's their own fault for not doing what they were elected to do.

End of thread. Been saying it since he announced his candidacy

You never met my ex . She was a nightmare cloaked in 20 yr old hormonal stripper skin. To make it worse she wasn't even a stripper.
