* Agreed: if President Trump does nothing but build a proper fence, deport most of the illegals, and restore law and order to our policy of immigration, I wouldn’t give a hoot if he spent the rest of his term hawking shirt-and-tie sets from the Rose Garden.
* I don’t think he’s much of a small-government conservative, and I’m not totally sure whether he’s an authentic nationalist either– he seems like a Davos Man/Joe the Plumber hybrid which is now counterintuitively a very successful strain in the present media culture. I just tell all the creeps that he’s my candidate for sick enjoyment’s sake; I like to see the paroxysms, pointing & sputtering with which the Harvard/Stanford/Columbia brown-nosers become biblically stricken, just by Trump’s continued domination of column inches… This sad partnership of no-life turtlenecked hipsters and elderly geeks, who chatter about political intrigue from the moment they wake up until when they pass out at their iPads for the evening, has metamorphosed into wailing babies before our eyes. They just can’t stand not getting what they want. Grand prize to George F. Will. Screw them. To quote Stanley Ann Dunham “they are NOT my people.” Oh yeah– I also agree in the main on Trump’s stated thoughts regarding skilled worker visas, E-Verify, border enforcement… I’ll worry later if he’s the best candidate to deliver on those.
* After the last few brushes with Republican endorsed amnesty, which had the conservative constituents melting the phone lines of congress, most of us became single-issue-voters. That issue is the border and immigration. We want a defended border and immigration policy that benefits the populace, not the corporations.
We have fought and refought this issue with Republicans in congress, and in doing so it has become clear that the once allied business sector of the USA is now a full on enemy of the American worker and the average American. Because Big Business dissolved the former alliance with social conservatives, we now wish to abolish the pro-corporate policies of Reagan and Bush. Tax em all to hell. Oh, they’ll flee, you say? They already do. They show zero loyalty, so screw them. The only fiscal conservatives left are millionaires and billionaires.
Trump has tapped into the single issue of immigration deliberately. He may betray us on that, and he may not. But either he will do what he says, or he will rend the Republican party (our corporate enemy) to shreds. Or both. It becomes a win-win-win situation. Viva Trump!
* News stories are blasting Trump for not correcting someone who referred to the president as a Muslim as though he were obligated to rush in to protect Obama’s honor. They’re really scraping the barrel to come up with something to use against him.
* Real conservative means wanting to ban abortion, cut taxes for the wealthy, and provoke land wars in Asia.
