It's long and Rush talks about a lot of things...... I think it gives good insight into Trump supporters. I THINK, what he says, puts more weight into what's going on with the Trump supporter and everyone else on the right, for that matter, and not so much Trump himself. Trump is secondary to what the Trump supporter is feeling. Trump has picked up on something that is very real and really does represent the people.
Every instance I have explained this divide, what the establishment has done and is doing to create this anger, to create this segment of the population that wants no part of politics-as-usual. I have spent hours explaining it, giving the justifiable reasons why people feel the way they do. It's not hard to figure this out at all, but the people in the establishment still don't get it. They still think of this as a temper tantrum that the children are going through -- and this is not a temper tantrum.
-
Yeah, I agree.
Trump isn't my first choice, but he most assuredly has, by accident or design, latched onto feelings that strongly resonate with millions of people in this country. In fact, I suspect right now, he's the national figure who seems to most understand, to most "get," the public sentiment.

Imagine his support if he didn't have a history of donating to liberals and having liberal views in the past.

Don't forget, Reagan was a left leaning Democrat. People change their views often. People in my family, who voted for Obama twice are big Trump supporters now.

Reagan had been a republican for quite some time before running for president. With Trump it's a very recent thing.

I terms of the donations, I would want to know what exactly he was putting money towards. Was he using his money to grease the wheel or was he trying to further some kind of liberal cause......each individual will judge the answer to that differently, but it's important to know.

As recently as 2014 he was donating money to groups trying to defeat the Tea Party.

Hi,
Stockman really outlines what is going on pretty well in this article.
What I am finding interesting is that Romney and McCain are really helping Trump and are too stupid to know it.
If the establishment is that afraid of Trump that is even more the reason to support him.

...which wouldn't be any businessman out there. To be successful you have to play the game regardless who's in office.

Apparently, if I understand it right, he donated 60 grand to Mitch McConnell's reelection campaign. And McConnell was going up against a tea party conservative. So I would want to know, was Trump looking for McConnell to return the favor at a later time? If so, what kind of favor could Mitch McConnell give to Trump. Or was Trump trying to keep the tea party out of Kentucky? Why give that kind of money to McConnell? Then you gotta wonder why he's trashing constitutional conservative Ted Cruz, not challenging him on policy, but simply trashing the guy.....
So if I go back to what Rush says in his article, I'm thinking that people are so mad that they're not thinking...the Trump supporter has a very real legitimate gripe that all of us share, but I keep coming back to being totally suspicious of the Trump. So I wouldn't knock Trump supporters, but I might warn them and ask them to consider a bigger picture......
This is the article I found when I searched for Trump donating to defeat the tea party and it makes a strong argument for Trump working with the RHINOS..... the argument is compelling....

5412, I read the article. Thanks for sharing. It's a tough one to digest at first, but I'm thinking that he's saying that the failures of the neocons and their foreign policy is perhaps the reason why people are disillusioned with the GOP? For me, what resonates goes along the lines of what Rush is saying in that Obama gave us a big FU and none of our representatives really did anything about it. And that's what's pissing people off. I go back and forth with the concept of spreading democracy vs simply protecting our interests and otherwise leaving people alone. I'm not politically saavy enough to really get into that kind of stuff.

At least acknowledge he donated as well to Republicans, including the disgusting Romney.
What's wrong with all of Trump's detractors when they always trot out Donald''s donations to the most despised LIBERALS, but NEVER bother to mention his equal donations to CONSERVATIVES? That's extremely disingenuous, to put it mildly, and yet youall make sure to selectively point this out every time, and expect we Trump supporters to pay attention.

It appears you are saying that Donald Trump pays anyone he can, so long as he may benefit from it. That makes him a man without principle.
Is that your champion, a man without principle?

Ya know what? I'm tired of the hypocrisy from both the left and the right when it comes to their precious "principles". Unless you're a total naif, you know that everyone in this race, excepting Bernie and Donald, are being funded by millionaires and billionaires who fully expect results from their monetary contributions.
I did not say Donald J. Trump pays anyone he can so long as he may benefit from it. HE SAID IT, and not so incidentally, laid bare for those who have been either innocently or purposefully ignorant of this basic rule of politics. Donald said it in the very first debate, when he pointed out that most of his rivals on the stage had been the recipients of his largesse in the past.
Now, if you want to blind yourself to the stark fact that Ted Cruz has accepted mega donations from these groups and that there's no correlation to hateful and untrue attack ads against Trump, and that these folks will not demand any quid pro quo from YOUR knight in shining armor, well, hell's bells, come buy my Southeastern Arizona beachfront home, okay?
https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00033085
YES, Donald J. Trump is my hero, because he's honest. All I care about is leaving a more prosperous and secure nation to my children and grandchildren. NO, he's no moral icon, but I suspect most faithful church-goers are not either. Despite the idiotic claims in the anti-Trump attack ads financed by the same groups that support and fund all other campaigns, Trump University may have 5,000 people in a class action lawsuit against it, BUT........have you ever been the recipient of an email or postcard inviting, or already assuming your status, to a Class Action lawsuit? I have, damn near every bank, Amazon, credit card companies, etc. I've ever been a member of, or a card holder of!
I could go on, but for people who think Trump is deception incarnate why bother? Too bad even though Cruz won two out of four today, IIRC, DJT won more actual votes and alot of delegates. Despite Mitt the weasel and all the crap lies on tv about him.
I seriously don't mind keeping company with my hero Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Jerry Falwell Jr., Carl Icahn, the president of NASCAR, Senator Jeff Sessions, and others like Governer Chris Christie, former Governor Sarah Palin and Governor Paul LePaige, among others. Guess we ALL sold out to Mr. Trump, the man with no principles! :shrug:

Not everyone.

You get angry when your hero is challenged. We laugh at the DUmmies when they act that way about their messiah figures. You may want to think about that a little.
As long as you can look yourself in the mirror for considering an unprincipled man your hero. I'm not here to change your mind. I already got my toaster oven this month.
But make no mistake, dear lady. If Donald Trump gets elected and you learn that he is not your hero after all, I'll be sure to say "I told you so".

You know what? Elections come along every four years. IF Donald Trump disappoints me by turning out to be a typical politician than I shall exercise my voice and vote against him in 2016. Right now, all I see is tons of talk and no action in DC. GWB did precious little overall with his House and Senate majorities, as did Obama. Politics run on money, it's their lifeblood.
You mistake my defense and admiration of Trump as hero worship. My worship figure resides in Heaven, not on Earth.
My best hope for the USA resides in Donald John Trump.
Were he not attacked so vociferously on all fronts from others, on blogs, the frikking Pope, two ex-Presidentes of Mexio, the eGOP, etc. maybe I would not need to defend him this much.
I HATE unfair, underhanded and uninformed attacks on anyone. DJT gets more and then some from the same folks who ought to be rejoicing in his appeal to the independents and conservative Democrats.
Yeah, mostly I'm a libertarian but realistically we have two/one :whatever: main party and we must deal with it. This time we might split again though, Mittster was calling for a third "conservative" party for the Trump haters.
Talk about sour grapes. Pfft.
-
Trump is not my choice by a long shot but given the stakes if he is the nominee then so be it.
A SCOTUS that will "find" an inalienable right to vote in the Constitution for all persons on US soil regardless of citizenship is possibly in the balance.
No one should be fooled imo though and right now Trump is the establishment choice.
They would rather have him as President and will be grinning when he discovers having a spit flying tantrum in the Oval Office amounts to almost nothing.
He has made it clear he lives to make deals.
The alternative to them is Shillary who is always available to the highest bidder.
The one they can`t stand is Cruz.

First of all, Trump has donated considerably more to democrats than to republicans. Second, he donated to the establishment republicans, never conservative one one.
In fact, quite the opposite. Some of his largest contributions to republicans were made in an effort to defeat Tea Party candidates.
-
When Trump said; ""I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct."", my heart skipped a beat.
However, he has been sounding more like an establishment politician ever since. When Bob Dole said he would rather have Trump than Ted Cruz, I started to wonder just how "conservative" Trump is or would be.
Then Trump said this; (January)
"When I’m president I’m a different person. I can do anything. I can be the most politically correct person you have ever seen," Trump said at a rally in Pella, Iowa, on Saturday.
http://www.vox.com/2016/1/25/10828244/trump-politically-correct-president
"When I’m president I’m a different person. I can do anything.".
Isn't that what we are upset about ? That when elected politicians do whatever they want ?

I believe he was talking about his style as he continuously gets criticism for his over the top, unscripted, off the cuff speeches. He has stated he would be able to temper that when he becomes President...I wouldn't mistake that as he going back on his conviction for his positions. He also would be able to made deals with anyone. Cruz is ineffective in making deals and therefore we'd have gridlock under a Cruz presidency.

Earlier, you said this:
YES, Donald J. Trump is my hero
Which is it?
Yeah, mostly I'm a libertarian
Mostly, except for the libertarian parts, right? That's why you worship admire an unscrupulous, duplicitous authoritarian who has promised to ignore the Constitution and expand Federal power.

If Trump wins, several special interests that have invested millions of the past few years, will be very upset.
That could be a good thing, very good.

I don`t want bad deals made though.

Neither do I. But negotiation is a fact of life. I have no doubt that Trump will be effective in that regard.
I want to add don't mistake that for capitulation..which is what the Republican majority has done under Oblah blah.

That is my worry with Trump,after he does not have to take a hard stance he will go along with anything.
It is why I support Cruz,he has shown the backbone to stand up to the old guards when it can hurt him to do so..

Yes, I agree Cruz has the backbone to stand up to the liberals. I don't doubt that for a second. I liked Cruz before the Iowa caucus when he used underhanded techniques (false voter summons & announcing Carson's suspension) to win the state. The more I watched him and his preachy tone, I disliked him. He does well in caucus states, but we only have two left (Hawaii and Idaho)...so his days are numbered.
Also, because of his hard stance on all issues, it will be difficult to get anything done unless he reverts to the Obama practice of using executive orders.
Saying that, I will support him IF he becomes the nominee as ANYONE is better than Hillary....but I will vote for Trump on March 15th.

I respect that and really have the SCOTUS in mind more then anything.

A lot of excellent points made on this thread.....
What's wrong with all of Trump's detractors when they always trot out Donald''s donations to the most despised LIBERALS, but NEVER bother to mention his equal donations to CONSERVATIVES?
I could understand greasing the wheels if you're a businessman, donating to the democrats and republicans alike, but whats with the 60 grand to Mitch McConnell?
First of all, Trump has donated considerably more to democrats than to republicans. Second, he donated to the establishment republicans, never conservative one one.
In fact, quite the opposite. Some of his largest contributions to republicans were made in an effort to defeat Tea Party candidates.
thundly4 said this earlier which made me do some googling and I found the McConnell thing. Maybe Trump is another establishment type, which would make his whole “outsider†thing fall apart. And I’d be upset that people got swindled. We can handle a Trump presidency, I’d be more concerned that people are voting with their emotions instead of their heads. Thats the problem with the left.....
Trump is not my choice by a long shot but given the stakes if he is the nominee then so be it.
A SCOTUS that will "find" an inalienable right to vote in the Constitution for all persons on US soil regardless of citizenship is possibly in the balance.

The one they can`t stand is Cruz.
My first hi five given. Well said. Notice in the last debate, Rubio, Cruz, and the Fox moderators handled Trump. Cruz kept telling him to count to ten. And Trump took it. So agreed, Oval Office tantrums are not gonna fly.
However, he has been sounding more like an establishment politician ever since.
Agreed. Again, to reference the last debate. They brought up the NY times off the record conversation where Trump might have revealed that “the wall†was starting point in a negotiation. During the rest of the debate, I felt like he was backing a up a bit from his bombastic talk and moving into the “I’m a dealmaker†etc, and brought in more of, “we need to come together/negotiate†talk. You could look at this as, “this isn’t what I want, I want someone who’s gonna shake things up,†or, “Who is Trump? Is he the ‘bomb the sh*t out of isis guy, or is he the ‘lets sit down and make a deal guy?’†Meanwhile, I’m not asking myself “who is†when it comes to Cruz or Rubio……more things to think about....
Cruz is a great choice, yet we have seen a lot of bashing of the front runner DJT.
Personally, I don’t want to bash Trumpsters or Trump himself….but rather try to convince people………and even then, I think people have made up their minds.....
My ex leftist turned moderate republican/conservative father told me that if we get to a brokered convention, and they finagle up some nomination that doesn’t involve Trump, he’ll go third party and we’ll be stuck with Hillary. And my dad hates the Clintons like no other so he's motivated by a lot of fear but still...and he doesn't like Trump. Rubio is his guy.
-
Rush has a disturbing blind spot for Trump. I know why...but it's still sad.
Trump supporters...especially the in your face obnoxious ones are warmed over Ronulans.
Trump is about the worst thing that could have ever happened to the GOP.
-
I haven't heard Rush go after Trump in the way that Michael Medved or Mark Levin go after him. Although I guess they don't go after him, but they try to raise some good points. At least the stuff I've heard or read.
And I have to back off from my suspicion that Trump is working for the establishment types..... I don't know how that would work given how things have been playing out.
-
What's wrong with all of Trump's detractors when they always trot out Donald''s donations to the most despised LIBERALS, but NEVER bother to mention his equal donations to CONSERVATIVES?
That's because they haven't been equal. And donating to Mitch McConnell isn't donating to a Conservative.
-
Cruz is a great choice, yet we have seen a lot of bashing of the front runner DJT.
He's brought it on himself in all honesty with his belligerent attitude and outrageous statements.
To whine about how you're treated after you continuously go out and give everyone who disagrees with you a giant middle finger is kinda stupid.
Yet that's what Trump does.
-
Defending the protest animals in Chittown and blaming Trump is hardly a constitutional free speech value, nor is accepting Neil Bush's endorsement and support in the bash Trump vs. the BLM, Bill Ayers, Move On, Occupy and other scum protesters. ::)
As usual with your spittle flinging rage induced rants I have to ask...what the **** are you talking about?
Who in here is defending the "protest animals" in Chicago? Please point out who in here is doing that.
Trump DOES bring a lot of this on himself. When you offer to pay the legal bills of anyone who knocks out a protester at one of your rallies...when you don't denounce white supremacists supporting your campaign...you should expect things like last night to happen.
And quite honestly...I think Trump PURPOSELY cancelled the event last night because now instead of speaking to a measly 10K audience...the MSM is wall to wall with Trump bullshit all day today...so now he's spewing to 50 MILLION. He's a skilled reality TV host...he knows how to play the media.
Never mind, Cruz could accept the endorsement of Ayers himself and you would still vote for him.
Ummm yeah ok. The more you post...the more you SERIOUSLY belong at DU when you say moronic stuff like that.
Doesn't matter, I told you I would be happier at primary outcomes than you. So now you can sulk. Matters not a whit to Trump or we, his supporters.
You don't seem very happy. You seem quite angry in fact. Like a typical Trump supporter...full of rage and hot air. Could it be the fact that Cruz is keeping up with tRump in the delegate race? Or the fact that Cruz beats DJT by 15 points in a one on one race?
Oh look Cruz wins Wyoming with 60.5% of the vote.
Trump pulled a mighty 5.6%.
:whatever:
-
I was listening to Michael Medved, who I know a lot of folks on the right don't like. He asked a question, if Trump is really about a movement, then who would someone choose to lead that movement if Trump wasn't available. And he mentioned that if Trump is so unlikeable, why not pick somebody else to lead the movement? The idea of this question is a thought exercise asking yourself is Trump really about a movement or an idea, or is it about Trump?
Or, if you subtract Trump from the equation, what do you have? So I would wonder how much of Trump is people who know what they want out of life and from our government, and Trump is the guy to deliver that. That's the "movement" part. And how much of Trump is that he feels our pain and our anger, and he's gonna save us? That's the "Trump" part. The personality part.
I think it's interesting to consider.

If Ron Paul hadn't called it quits after the 2014 election the same rabid partisans powering Trump would still be supporting Dr Nuts for the most part.
It's a mob mentality with most of the Trump faithful. All he really has done was speak the truth about Muslims and express a desire to build a wall on the Southern Border to keep the illegals out.
Other than that he's got as much substance to what his platform is as a jar of marshmallow paste.

The vote shaming was a little weird but you are completely wrong about the announcement of Carson suspending hsi campaign. That ALL came from CNN. All a Cruz staffer did was re-tweet what CNN was reporting.
You're placing the blame in the wrong palce.
Also, because of his hard stance on all issues, it will be difficult to get anything done
Same thing was said by the establishment about Reagan. He won 44 states against Carter. Pushed through a Conservative agenda and ended the Cold War.
Since when did standing by your principles like Cruz has done...equated to taking a "hard stance"? I thought the one thing we were all tired of here was politicians promising one thing and giving us the middle finger once they got to DC?
Now sticking to your principals is a bad thing? :???:
unless he reverts to the Obama practice of using executive orders.
That's Trump. That's the only way he's gonna get done all these "great things" he's promising.
Saying that, I will support him IF he becomes the nominee as ANYONE is better than Hillary....but I will vote for Trump on March 15th.
Too bad you're wasting your primary vote in this critical election year.
