Are You a Trump supporter?

[Origanalist]

I don't care if you've backed him all along or are a recent convert. Yea or nay?
Poll is public.

 

[openfire]

Define "supporter"

 

[cajuncocoa]

I'm the only one who responded so far -- NO.

 

[thoughtomator]

You might want to add an actual poll, and yes, explain "supporter".

Some have characterized me as a Trump supporter, though my angle is really that I do not deeply loathe him the way I deeply loathe each and every one of the other major candidates in both parties, and see him as a useful tool to bust up the party. So it's de facto/tactical/strategic supporter more than rah rah I care what he stands for supporter.

It takes a minute to get the poll in the thread, it's there now. Well, are you or aren't you?

 

[Murrika]

I support Trump

The way I see it, the majority of this forum agrees with the wisdom of libertarians supporting Trump over the establishment.

There are five people naysaying and a good deal more who are either supportive of the idea or are at least curious and want to explore it further.

Those five people are being obnoxiously loud and persistent, but they are really very very few in number, and are not winning anyone to their cause with the vicious, off-putting attitude they bring to the table.

I'm not yet comfortable as of now to be a "Trump supporter" per se... but I'm heavily in favor of Trump doing unspeakable things to neocons and their tools like this:

Trump: Lindsey Graham a 'disgrace,' 'nut job,' 'one of the dumbest human beings'
www.politico.com/story/.../trump-lindsay-graham-insults-219374Politico

Trump: Bush Administration Knowingly 'Lied' About Iraq War
townhall.com/.../02/.../trump-bush...lied-about-iraq.../full

This trait of his is so refreshing. No one running is better than him.

The leading GOP contender saying such things and still winning is a paradigm shift in GOP/US Politics despite having some destructive/punishing quality to it.

As I said elsewhere, SWC Bush gave us DGP and DGP gave as Trumpster.. as we sow, so shall we reap.

The poll is inherently suspect to begin with due to its wording, but I'd wager you're still going to see more supporting votes than you ever expected.

No, I won't be surprised at all.

 

[A. Havnes]

No, I'm not. Trump isn't in it for liberty, for Americans, or any other cause. He's in it for Trump. Everything he does stems from an incredibly selfish worldview that sums the rest of world up as trivial, losers, ignorant, and not worthy of respect or consideration in general.

Now, I understand that he could be the lesser evil (it depends on who he gets to advice him), but I'm throwing my support with Gary Johnson.

So I can put you in as a yes.

 

[Suzanimal]

Poll needs more options and multiple choice voting.

 

[AuH20]

Trump is a vote for partial liberty as opposed to absolute liberty like someone like Ron Paul.

 

[thoughtomator]

I'll make a more definitive poll at some point to drill down into what people actually DO support, but in the meantime this is an interesting thumbs up/thumbs down for Trump specifically.

 

[Origanalist]

Well, someone can start another poll, mine is a simple yea or nay.

Oh wow. Just...

F' it. People can make themselves see what they want to see.

Since I have voted I can't see the names anymore. You did put yourself down as a yea didn't you?

Since it is all about deal making with Congress the end result in 4 years might very well look the same. It took the Progressives a 100 years to get to where we are now so we will need successive administrations in both parties and Congress to incrementally roll it back.
