Trump the Tea Party Favorite? Say it isn't so!

       Glenn Beck expressed disappointment in the Tea Party because of their support of Donald Trump.  Say it isn’t so!  He cannot be a Tea Party favorite.  I have never heard him speak about the constitution.  I have never heard him speak about limiting the power of the central government in the way the founders envisioned. 

       He is an advocate of the government’s using eminent domain to seize private property.  He has supported late term abortions and single payer health care.  He says the Democrats do a much better job with economic issues. Apparently he, like all Democrats, credits Clinton with the budget surpluses.  The rest of us remember the Gingrich/Kasich dynamo.

          We believe the government is the problem.  He believes the government is the answer if it is properly run.  That’s a totally progressive idea.  He is a progressive.  He expresses admiration for Democratic politicians and disdain for conservatives.  Have you ever heard him disavow any of these former progressive stances?

       The Donald plays on our emotions, stokes the xenophobic impulses, feeds off our frustrations, but he lays out no solutions.  He says he’ll make America great again, but he provides no rational blueprint on any issue. He rails against imports.  Does he remember that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff drove the country into the great depression?  He supports a flat tax, a fair tax and he supports maintaining the current progressive tax system. 

His name calling illustrates that he plays by the playbook written for the left, Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.  Those who disagree with him are dogs or losers or stupid. morons, lightweights, or zeroes. 

      Donald Trump is not a man of principles.  He is a megalomaniac, an arrogant blowhard.  He brags about how he screwed over other businessmen. President Obama abused executive privilege.  Trump would ride rough shod over everyone.

     Liberals are having a heyday because Trump is helping them discredit conservative principles.

            Will I vote for Trump if he becomes the nominee?  Of course.  Democrats drive us over the debt cliff full speed ahead.  Even the Donald is less of a death threat.
