TRUMPISM RULES !


Say what you will about Donald Trump but the man is exciting. Within minutes of bringing his comb over, in your face style and strong name ID to the main stage of the Republican primary field, people started freaking out as his popularity rose. This excitement is not owing to some grand policy insight, his pledge to build a great wall or his excoriation of China and Mexico. What excites people about him is his authenticity.

Whether you love Trump or want to dump Trump, there is one consistent philosophy about the man: he feels authentic. Even for those who believe he is a jackass, he is inarguably authentic. Trump is supported by several million “McCrazies” and climbing in the polls because Americans want our politicians to be real.

In this respect, he is an anomaly amongst modern politicians. Trump stands out in high relief on the Republican stage and in stark contrast to any contender on the Left save, perhaps, for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Inauthentic as many Republicans may be, Democrats have raised inauthenticity to a level approaching naked fear.

Consider former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, who is a good example of what politicians on the Left are afraid of and how authenticity is anathema to their political success. During the Netroots Nation conference in Phoenix last week, O’Malley dared to tell conference crashers and attendees that, “Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter.” In a moment, O’Malley became real. But even though his support for the notion that human life matters may be as politically courageous as supporting, say, oxygen, that same moment cast this white Democrat who supports liberal black causes as persona non grata.

What O’Malley said in essence was, ‘Hold-up, I get your cause but my life matters too. Everybody’s life matters.’ He wasn't saying black lives don’t matter; he wasn't denying the issues surrounding criminal justice and those of darker skin. He was simply offering up from his heart that he gets us, he hears us, and that every life matters.

His authentic, albeit simplistic, position was so controversial that he was forced to recant and hide his real self. His fellow liberals forced him to be fake, inauthentic and to ultimately apologize for the sin of being himself and valuing all lives. That is the story of the Left and most politicians in general; they don't dare reveal their realness.

Hillary Clinton certainly won’t reveal anything about herself, real or otherwise. She hides herself from the media under the guise of ‘listening’ to voters. What is a better symbol for hiding than the placement of a government email server in your own home? As for Bernie Sanders, he is actually more aligned with Trump than any of his Democrat rivals. At least he’s authentic enough to tell people up front that he’s a socialist (Academically, he is a redistributionist not a socialist but what the heck?).

No one on the Democratic political stage today is more inauthentic than President Obama. While running for president in 2008, he had to disavow the ravings of his pastor who preached to him for 20 years. Candidate Obama told America that marriage is a union of one man and one woman. Now that he occupies the White House, it is bathed in a gay pride rainbow of floodlights. Obama said that he couldn’t unilaterally suspend deportation and then alters immigration law through executive fiat.

I was plenty upset during the big government years of George W. Bush but at least when he opened his mouth, you knew what you were getting. By the same token, you may not like Trump’s gasbaggery but his authenticity is no superficial patina; it is the real deal.

Even Trump’s hypocrisy is authentic. Regarding his donations to Democrats he told Sean Hannity that as a businessman he wasn’t stupid, “So, what am I going to do, contribute to Republicans… for my whole life when…against some Democrat. And the most they can get is one percent of the vote.” Trump’s move from pro-choice to pro-life was a gradual shift not an overnight flip based on some pollster’s advice. His trajectory on these matters has been anything but linear.

Humans are always inconsistent, contradictory and have a fleeting mind. F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” So, just maybe, Trump is a whole lot smarter than you.

I don't know about voting for him for president...but I'd sure like to see him spread feces on the faces of the quisling Republican leadership! :mrgreen:

PZG1225 Loc: Florida

Stick around BigMike...you're about to see it happen. And my bet is, you will be voting for "The Man" !
Go Donald!

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

I've done stranger things in my time. :XD:

PeterS

You do know you are talking about conservatives not Americans right? Conservatives like his style--68% of Americans view Trump negatively meaning in a head to head match he will be blown out--something Trumps ego simply could not handle meaning he will be out well before then. You are making far too much about "The Donald." He is a Brand with no substance and he flies as a conservative because so many of them think just like him. But it takes more than "the crazies" to get elected and that is where Trump falls flat on his face. Sell Trump all you like but his only appeal is in the insane asylum and the reason you are enamored with him in the first place...

PeterS

If you don't like your leadership why do you keep electing them?

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

Really? I elected them? You don't know what you're talking about. I'm much more interested in unelecting most of them! If it were up to me not a damn one of them would serve more than two terms.

PeterS

Well I certainly didn't elect them. Like them or not its conservatives who are putting them in office and making them their party leadership. We live in a democracy and as nutty as conservatives are that means you will never find someone who is exactly as nutty as you are. The fact that you can't accept that points at you and not the conservative majority who are putting these people in office. In a democracy majority rules--as distasteful as that is for all of us...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

First of all, I'm not a favor to either party like you since they're all TRAITORS to the cause anyway.

2ndly his Brand or Success in that speaks more than any other candidate

3rd he's battling one of the 3 main THREATS controlling and manipulating our Constitutionally protected elections but you seem too blind to see it.

4th Crazies is a majority contributor (if you haven't done the math) in campaigns and voter dissent

5th you'll know just how insane I am when that bell finally rings...

6th I'm enamored with no one but my one and ONLY TRUE CHRISTIAN GOD !

7th I have no HEROS nor need or care to have one unlike you.


You like many still don't know what or who you're really fighting for.


Go figure !

PeterS

Go figure? What I'm NOT fighting for is a businessman who is part of the problem and not part of the solution. It's businesses who hire illegal aliens and are the reason they are flooding across the border. Anyone want to bet if you were to look at one of Trump's hotels the maids who clean your room, the kitchen staff who make your meals, and even the crews who built his hotels all snuck across the border to do so. It's men like Trump who are getting rich off the labor of illegals which is why it is ironic that conservatives, who supposedly hate illegal immigration, are falling all over every word that he says. You people are fools who are enamored by the shiny words that fall out of his mouth but have absolutely no substance in meeting what you believe. The only way to stop illegal immigration is to stop the businesses who hire them. This is why being a conservative and supporting Trump makes as much sense as being a Jew and supporting Adolf Hitler. Yeah, go figure indeed.

And by the way. What marks you as insane are the words you speak and they marked you that way a long, long time ago...

Sicilianthing

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Your point is valid...

Better than that is the Jewish Conservative Base supporting the Jewish Zionist Bankster Businesses who lobby, import and continue to employing all those illegals..

And once again, I could careless what you or anyone else thinks about the words I speak yesterday, today or tomorrow as your measure of insane.

How's that sound ?

You don't even know what time it is... keep it up your doing great.
Your methods are solving all the problems aren't they?

Keep voting you dumbfuck, let us all know where it gets you.

PeterS

Thanks, I intend to keep voting. As for solving problems if you can't identify them then you can't solve them. As I said: the only reason illegal aliens are here in the first place is because businesses continue to hire them. As soon as that stops they will go away. Yet for conservatives it's spending billions on walls, pointless deportations, and passing bills that do nothing to address the problem. Yeah, I'm the dumbfuck but who's the one supporting those who are causing the problem to begin with!

Sicilianthing

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Well I don't mean Dumbf personally... I just blow off steam when I'm in counter assault on the things you guys say here.

Voting will solve nothing but you'll have to figure that out for yourself.

And when you do (I hope you do someday before you're dead) what a day that will be...

It's literally life altering as it has been for all those who've come before me.

Remember you only get to SELECT your candidate, the Bankster Families get to ELECT THEIR Candidate CEO who runs the United States Incorporated !

With that I'm OUT.

Good Luck with that voting thing.
