Donald
J. Trump: Riding High
(The way he planned and expected)
Many on the GOP-Conservative
side say: “Trump is not a ‘true’
conservative” – here is a recent sample. You figure out what “true conservative” means
– I gave up a long time ago trying to figure that one out, just like I gave up trying to figure out what GOPers
mean by saying someone is “not a true American.”

KELLY (FOX Host): “My next guest got national attention when he
took on Donald Trump in a fiery radio interview just ahead of the Wisconsin
primary. Joining me now, Charlie Sykes. Charlie, good to see you. And sure
enough, Trump went on to lose the state of Wisconsin but win the
GOP primary. And nonetheless you say you remain never
Trump. Before I ask you about Paul Ryan, why? Because you know
the argument against that is that's a vote for Hillary Clinton.”
CHARLIE
SYKES (Conservative Talk Radio Host):
“Yeah, well Donald Trump is a serial liar, a con man who mocks the
disabled and women. He's a narcissist and a bully, a man with no fixed
principles who has the vocabulary of an emotionally
insecure 9-year-old. So no, I don't want to give him control of
the IRS, the FBI, and the nuclear codes. That's just me.”
KELLY: “Tell
us how you really feel. It doesn't sound like there's a lot of wiggle
room there, Charlie.”
SYKES: “I do see the raft swimming towards the sinking
ship. But at some point – if you understand, and this is not just ideological,
it's not just the fact that he’s abandoned one position after another
or that he has the penchant for Internet hoaxes or
conspiracy theories. I mean a week ago tonight, remember, he was peddling
the notion that Ted Cruz's dad had something do with the JFK
assassination. So there are people who say that just because of party
loyalty we're supposed to forget all of that. I just don't buy that.
Because I've cautioned my fellow conservatives, you embrace Donald Trump,
you embrace it all. You embrace every slur, every insult, every
outrage, and every falsehood. You're going to spend the next six months
defending, rationalizing, and evading all that. And afterward, you come
back to women, to minorities, to young people and say, that wasn't us.
That's not what we're about. The reality is, if you support him to
be president of the United States, that is who you are, and you
own it.”
Here is the whole interview (a 3-minute clip) - enlightening to say the least:
