Trump! Trump! Trump!

It seems as though poor white conservatives have finally realized that the Republican party has nothing to offer them but increased poverty, and so they've turned to Donald Trump, who isn't really a Republican, but an Opportunist and a thug. But maybe this isn't a sudden realization.  Maybe they've known it for a long time but just haven't had anyone they could vote for, since they damned sure weren't going to vote for a Democrat who would give their hard earned money to illegal immigrants and welfare blacks and cut back military spending.

They have certainly found their boy in Trump. He doesn't even lose his popularity when he says disparaging things about GOP icons.  Nor, presumably, will he lose any support after his campaign's national spokeswoman Karina Pierson said this on TV:

"Donald Trump didn't say that the Twin Towers coming down was George Bush's fault," Pierson said. "He said George Bush didn't keep safe, and there are thousands of families that would agree with that. But I will have to define safe for you. Donald Trump's measure of safety is very different than the Bush's. Donald Trump wants a border wall. He wants to stop illegal immigration. He wants to deport illegal aliens. There are a number of things that Donald Trump would determine safe that the Bushes just didn't quite agree at that time."

[...]

"We don't know for sure if [the 9/11 attack] could have been prevented, but what we do know is that the hijackers did come into this country on visas from hostile territories." [...] "We know that one was here on an expired visa and we know they trained in Florida under Jeb Bush's watch to take down those towers."

It won't shake his supporters, but it rings bells for the GOP Establishment.

Appearing [Monday evening] on Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier," [Dick] Cheney listened to the anchor read a list of [Trump's] recent comments about Bush and 9/11 earlier in the day and during Saturday night's debate, including Trump's assertion that Bush and Cheney "lied" about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as an impetus to invade the country in 2003.

“He sounds like a liberal Democrat to me, Bret. He’s wrong, and he’s I think, deliberately promoting those views in order to advance his political interests," Cheney responded.

[...]

"The other areas, for example, if you look at what we did in the aftermath of 9/11, we did in fact keep the nation safe for seven and a half years," Cheney said.

[...]

Trump likened that argument on Monday to saying, "The team scored 19 runs [on us] in the first inning, but after that we played well."

[...]

“I’ve said I’ll support the nominee of my party," Cheney said. "If he operates the way he’s operating, sounding like a liberal Democrat, I don’t think he’ll get the nomination.”

Donald Trump - liberal Democrat. I don't think even that is going to work.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
