I first noticed that when I moved out to Southern California in 2007. Legal Hispanics, some of whom had families living in the US for 150 years, were bigger border hawks than me. They were at ground zero. Their lives were negatively affected by unchecked illegal immigration.
Most of my crew ( electricians) told me they were voteing Trump back in 2016 I was shocked and they wanted the border Closed they were smart enough to know illegals would eventually take their jobs working for less money and I said they always had a job with me Hispanics are great workers !!
I met a Mexican American man sitting at Old Faithful in Yellowstone in 2017, who lived on Texas border. He decried what the left was fighting Trump over then. He saw what border security was fighting for. US.
I dislike Trump and I am not a rino. If anything I find him being way too socially liberal, not conservative. I don't see how leftist pro-abortionsts like Gabbard, Musk and Kennedy are better than Mitt Romney though?
No, you want Trump to be a dictator from day one. Trump is a liar, adulterer, convicted felon, grifter and con man. You have been conned by Trump. Trump's lies about the election being stolen caused the MAGA cult to invade our capitol and people died. No real patriot would vote for Trump.
Would absolutely love to see Bill Crystal, George Will, David From, have a discussion with Victor Hanson about Trump.....talk about enlightening and entertaining!
I lost all respect for George Will, Bill Crystal and their ilk when they became never Trump. I was so frustrated with the GOP before Trump. I left the democrats when I got out of college in the 90's and realized they were not for people trying to make their way in the world and who were willing to work hard. They wanted to punish me. So I left them. I was in the GOP, because there was no other real alternative. I got so angry with them when they failed to live up to their promises. I supported W Bush on his foreign policy, thinking he was smart enough to get it done and fixed quickly, especially after 9-11. But it all just kept dragging on. Then Obama pushed through his healthcare plans which I knew were not going to improve things, and the GOP let them do it. McCain even helped! So I was not enthusiastic about the GOP for years. Then Trump came along. I didn't like him at first. I was not a viewer of his show, not liking reality TV. But I got a couple of his books and liked what I read. Then, when he showed what he would do in the primary debates, I was all in for him. I didn't think he would win. But when he did, I was glad. And I was ecstatic when he started actually following through on his campaign promises! A Republican that actually delivered, and was rolling back the democrats' socialist policies! So when these "conservative" pundits came out as Never Trump ,despite Trump's conservative policies, I knew their true colors. They aren't for the American people. They are for their DC elite cocktail party groups and coffee klatches.
Same, here. I never watched "The Apprentice". I became a Trump fan after reading the book that he co-wrote with Robert Kiyowaski. "Why We Want You to Be Rich". They warned of the destruction of the middle class.
@@andrewdalessandro9277 At the time, being a fairly far left Democrat voter who was also rural and hardline pro-2A, I was somewhat understanding of Obama's statement. As insulting as it was to many of the people I grew up around, it was also reflective of how I saw some of the behaviors of my neighbors. By the time Clinton made her "deplorables" statement, I realized that I had afforded Obama and the DNC too much grace. It wasn't a harsh-but-fair criticism of stubbornly obstructionist behavior. It was contempt for those "backwards" people as a group. They don't just hate your behavior or values; they hate you.
My wife, myself, my son, daughter in law, and granddaughter and most of my Facebook friends are voting for Donald Trump! We love Donald Trump, he's the common sense and the common man and woman's presidential candidate! MAGA!
I'm a staunch Constitutional Conservative who came out strongly "never-Trump" in 2016 for 2 reasons: 1) I didn't believe he knew anything important about our Constitution (my #1 litmus test), and 2) he was crass, mean, and had diarrhea out the mouth. I couldn't stand to listen to his rambling, self-aggrandizing, low-brow blather. I was shocked when he won in 2016 and very glad he beat Hillary, but I held on to my skepticism and watched what he did. After 4 years, I was pleasantly surprised with his accomplishments. So I grudgingly voted for him in 2020, and that election and its aftermath proved to me how horrible the Left was and how, despite my preferences, Trump was the man for the job. His presence is like pouring water on the wicked witch - the left just screams and howls at everything he does. So I wholeheartedly support him this time, and I've seen him improve in how he speaks, how he presents himself, who he's choosing to associate with, etc. And I feel the Constitution is in FAR better hands with Trump, than the current alternatives (obviously).

I've never forgotten what George Will said about Reagan when he was negotiating with Gorbachev in 1987 to eliminate the threat of nuclear war. He called Reagan a "useful idiot". That's George Will. He's Bushie Uniparty guy, like Rove Cheney, Romney etc.
Hillary refers to anyone supporting Trump as “ deplorable “ . When they tried busing illegal immigration members to Martha’s Vineyard the community raised such an uproar that they then had to bus them to sanctuary city New York to join the government sponsored direct flight recipients in hotels accommodations there. They seemed to be of the not in my back yard mindset.
He's one of the few that is always worth listening to. I would say it's him, Douglas Murray, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Tucker Carlson, and Clarence Thomas. I'm sure there's others but I can't think of them right now. EDIT: Kimberly Strassel as well.
No he most certainly is not. Jesus is. Jesus sacrificed himself for his people. Trump has done nothing to even help free his own J6 heroes rotting in prison for the last 4 years. He's an utter self-serving coward.
Jordan Peterson described Trump as being viewed by the elites as "déclassé," and this is accurate: Trump's appeal is not to the interests of the elites; his appeal is to the concerns of the common man. This, and the fact that as a complete political outsider, he managed to beat the political class at its own game, is why he has earned the contempt and implacable hatred of the elites--of both parties.
Trump is a member of the economic elite - he's a billionaire himself - but he is different than many of his fellow plutocrats in one very important way: He knows that the people are the foundation of the wealth and prosperity of this country, ordinary people and not the kind of sliver spoon types who so infest the American aristocracy. He knows that if the America of the common man falls, they and it take everything and everyone else with them. And he's absolutely right. Thank goodness he has some strong and capable allies this time around.... because he's gonna need them. This fight isn't over, in fact it is just getting started. And the people who voted for him had better not roll over and go back to sleep again like last time; all hands are needed on deck for this one....

They can say they are for R policies but they arn’t or they would not vote for D policy and that is the bottom line.

Thanks again John for another talk with Victor, spawning these informative video shorts. One of our climate scientist interviewers in the States is Tom Nelson (you might enjoy an interview with him). In talking with Tom after an interview with Will Happer Princeton Emeritus, I mentioned to him that people like Will Happer and Victor and some others, I describe with the term, "Casual Brilliance."

Pretty accurate. Old time economic conservatives were often socially liberal, but on economics were clearly for the rich.The Dems try to pretend they are on the side of the working class, but serve the rich. I have been waiting along time for a G.O.P. or even a Dem party that isn't just for the wealthy. That time could be soon.
Trump is a very difficult man. He alienates many. But he is a means to an end. His preferred policies are clear, but the degree of sucess depends on the makeup Congress, policy details and the basic persuasion of the proposed change. His policies began substantial changes beginning in 2016. In 2020, most continued, unchanged. Trump 2024
Trump is "difficult"as you term it, but the American people have tried, time and time again, being polite with the Washington insiders and the ruling class working against the interests of the people and it didn't work. Time to bring in a bull in the china shop. If the swamp creatures don't like it, they have no one to blame but themselves. The people will be heard - period!
This is why party lines are never effective in addressing the Government’s incursion and manipulation of the private sectors economic activity.One side is unanimously dedicated to regulating,manipulating,and directing its activities,and the other side is straddling the fence.We must get Government out of our business.
I have always felt Trump is not a Republican which is why the establishment conservatives hate him. This is not a bad thing for those of us that the establishment be they right or left are the essence of the problem.
Trump isn’t a conservative. He’s a realist. His whole being was a businessman developer. He’s results oriented. He’s a problem solver. Recognize the problem. Identify the solution. Implement the plan to achieve it. Politicians, on the other hand, talk about doing things.
Missing something here, Trump is not a Globalist, or a Neo-Con, like the others, Conservative or not.

I first noticed that when I moved out to Southern California in 2007. Legal Hispanics, some of whom had families living in the US for 150 years, were bigger border hawks than me. They were at ground zero. Their lives were negatively affected by unchecked illegal immigration.
So was Cesar Chavez!
Most of my crew ( electricians) told me they were voteing Trump back in 2016 I was shocked and they wanted the border Closed they were smart enough to know illegals would eventually take their jobs working for less money and I said they always had a job with me Hispanics are great workers !!
Cesar Chavez was anti illegal immigrant with no compromise.
The illegals undercut the wages of the legal citizen farm workers he represented.
I met a Mexican American man sitting at Old Faithful in Yellowstone in 2017, who lived on Texas border. He decried what the left was fighting Trump over then. He saw what border security was fighting for. US.
The hatred comes from his dedication to enforce the laws that protect us and to do it expediently, their way is to put D C first and Americans last
I like your style of letting people speak. I turn off interviews where they talk over each other.
I hope the RINOs leave for good. Let them join the Democrat party. They will be much happier over there.
They probably will. Going forward it will be big government/deep state party VS small government/We The People party
I dislike Trump and I am not a rino. If anything I find him being way too socially liberal, not conservative.
I don't see how leftist pro-abortionsts like Gabbard, Musk and Kennedy are better than Mitt Romney though?

@johnhill7585 He's a spoiled rich kid at heart.
I lost all respect for George Will, Bill Crystal and their ilk when they became never Trump. I was so frustrated with the GOP before Trump. I left the democrats when I got out of college in the 90's and realized they were not for people trying to make their way in the world and who were willing to work hard. They wanted to punish me. So I left them. I was in the GOP, because there was no other real alternative. I got so angry with them when they failed to live up to their promises. I supported W Bush on his foreign policy, thinking he was smart enough to get it done and fixed quickly, especially after 9-11. But it all just kept dragging on. Then Obama pushed through his healthcare plans which I knew were not going to improve things, and the GOP let them do it. McCain even helped! So I was not enthusiastic about the GOP for years. Then Trump came along. I didn't like him at first. I was not a viewer of his show, not liking reality TV. But I got a couple of his books and liked what I read. Then, when he showed what he would do in the primary debates, I was all in for him. I didn't think he would win. But when he did, I was glad. And I was ecstatic when he started actually following through on his campaign promises! A Republican that actually delivered, and was rolling back the democrats' socialist policies! So when these "conservative" pundits came out as Never Trump ,despite Trump's conservative policies, I knew their true colors. They aren't for the American people. They are for their DC elite cocktail party groups and coffee klatches.
Good post.
So true !
@@fred-ts9pb Thanks. I appreciate that!
Perfectly well stated!
Same, here. I never watched "The Apprentice". I became a Trump fan after reading the book that he co-wrote with Robert Kiyowaski. "Why We Want You to Be Rich". They warned of the destruction of the middle class.
Hilary called them,"deplorables"
Obama started with guns etc talking about rural people. Then she coined the Deplorables. Then I became one . Trump 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸
😂 That worked out well for her.
@@andrewdalessandro9277 At the time, being a fairly far left Democrat voter who was also rural and hardline pro-2A, I was somewhat understanding of Obama's statement. As insulting as it was to many of the people I grew up around, it was also reflective of how I saw some of the behaviors of my neighbors.
By the time Clinton made her "deplorables" statement, I realized that I had afforded Obama and the DNC too much grace. It wasn't a harsh-but-fair criticism of stubbornly obstructionist behavior. It was contempt for those "backwards" people as a group.

I'm a staunch Constitutional Conservative who came out strongly "never-Trump" in 2016 for 2 reasons: 1) I didn't believe he knew anything important about our Constitution (my #1 litmus test), and 2) he was crass, mean, and had diarrhea out the mouth. I couldn't stand to listen to his rambling, self-aggrandizing, low-brow blather. I was shocked when he won in 2016 and very glad he beat Hillary, but I held on to my skepticism and watched what he did. After 4 years, I was pleasantly surprised with his accomplishments. So I grudgingly voted for him in 2020, and that election and its aftermath proved to me how horrible the Left was and how, despite my preferences, Trump was the man for the job. His presence is like pouring water on the wicked witch - the left just screams and howls at everything he does. So I wholeheartedly support him this time, and I've seen him improve in how he speaks, how he presents himself, who he's choosing to associate with, etc. And I feel the Constitution is in FAR better hands with Trump, than the current alternatives (obviously).
You might be wrong about that last statement.

They too were part of the system.
I've never forgotten what George Will said about Reagan when he was negotiating with Gorbachev in 1987 to eliminate the threat of nuclear war. He called Reagan a "useful idiot". That's George Will. He's Bushie Uniparty guy, like Rove Cheney, Romney etc.

Jordan Peterson described Trump as being viewed by the elites as "déclassé," and this is accurate: Trump's appeal is not to the interests of the elites; his appeal is to the concerns of the common man. This, and the fact that as a complete political outsider, he managed to beat the political class at its own game, is why he has earned the contempt and implacable hatred of the elites--of both parties.
Trump is a member of the economic elite - he's a billionaire himself - but he is different than many of his fellow plutocrats in one very important way: He knows that the people are the foundation of the wealth and prosperity of this country, ordinary people and not the kind of sliver spoon types who so infest the American aristocracy. He knows that if the America of the common man falls, they and it take everything and everyone else with them. And he's absolutely right. Thank goodness he has some strong and capable allies this time around.... because he's gonna need them. This fight isn't over, in fact it is just getting started. And the people who voted for him had better not roll over and go back to sleep again like last time; all hands are needed on deck for this one....

Thanks again John for another talk with Victor, spawning these informative video shorts. One of our climate scientist interviewers in the States is Tom Nelson (you might enjoy an interview with him).

Pretty accurate. Old time economic conservatives were often socially liberal, but on economics were clearly for the rich.The Dems try to pretend they are on the side of the working class, but serve the rich. I have been waiting along time for a G.O.P. or even a Dem party that isn't just for the wealthy. That time could be soon.
they are statists, a huge difference
Trump is building a wall of irrelevance around the Washington DC Elitists.
Trump is a very difficult man. He alienates many. But he is a means to an end. His preferred policies are clear, but the degree of sucess depends on the makeup Congress, policy details and the basic persuasion of the proposed change.
His policies began substantial changes beginning in 2016. In 2020, most continued, unchanged.
Trump 2024
Trump is "difficult"as you term it, but the American people have tried, time and time again, being polite with the Washington insiders and the ruling class working against the interests of the people and it didn't work.

Trump isn’t a conservative. He’s a realist. His whole being was a businessman developer. He’s results oriented. He’s a problem solver. Recognize the problem. Identify the solution. Implement the plan to achieve it. Politicians, on the other hand, talk about doing things.
True and he's become a constitutional conservative, wanting the country to run more constitutionally correct
