At least I could rep Hough.
And it's appreciated.
Cruz and Kasich are toast.
My bleeding heart mother-in-law, who could be central cast as a Bushian compassionate conservative, cast her vote for Trump today because of their little team-up trick. If that was enough to sway her . . . oof.
We can have a dangerous idea like that take root.
it's not the quality of the idea that's in question. The question is more about his reliability.
I really would like to blame Trump. But everything he is doing is with TV news’ full acquiescence. Trump doesn’t force the networks to show his rallies live rather than do real reporting. Nor does he force anyone to accept his phone calls rather than demand that he do a face-to-face interview that would be a greater risk for him. TV news has largely given Trump editorial control. It is driven by a hunger for ratings—and the people who run the networks and the news channels are only too happy to make that Faustian bargain. Which is why you’ll see endless variations of this banner, one I saw all three cable networks put up in a single day: “Breaking news: Trump speaks for first time since Wisconsin loss.” In all these scenes, the TV reporter just stands there, off camera, essentially useless. The order doesn’t need to be stated. It’s understood in the newsroom: Air the Trump rallies live and uninterrupted. He may say something crazy; he often does, and it’s always great television.
Donald Trump could amass most primary votes in GOP history | New York Post
Trump is the most exciting thing to happen to the republican party since Ronald Reagan, and yet many republicans won't admit it, and fight it tooth and nail.
Excitement is not the problem.
Risk of the unknown is the problem, IMHO. With a smattering of intuitive cult-of-personality avoidance.
In the firearms area alone:What has the known done to advance the conservative, or liberty movement in the last 16 years?
Be careful what you wish for.Time to embrace the unknown.
In the firearms area alone:
- Heller
- more states with constitutional carry
- lifetime permits in Indiana
- very recently, more rifle options for deer hunting
Be careful what you wish for.
Yeah, but what about the Patriot Act, Medicare Part D, No Child Left Behind, and endless war; not to mention all the crap they let Obama do under his tenure.
