Critique of Donald Trump's Candidacy
There is no way we are going to allow a con artist to take
over the conservative
movement, and Donald Trump is a con artist.
It's typical Trump, all bluster, very little substance.
For you to think that you can pimp out our proud service
men and women to the
Prince of Saudi Arabia is disgraceful, and it once again shows that you are unfit
to serve as our commander-in-chief.
Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think a really bad person.
I wanna talk to the Trump supporters for a minute.
I don't know who you are, and I don't know why you like this guy.
Well, I think the problem is, number one, he's a bully, and, you
know, I don't like bullies.
This is what happens when a leading presidential candidate goes
around feeding
into a narrative of anger and bitterness and frustration.
This is a guy who said, who said that, that John McCain is not a war hero, yet he
sought his own five military deferments.
There's nothing in our Constitution that gives you the power to go to war
without
the express consent of Congress.
I'm a never Trump guy. I never liked him.
We're about to turn over the conservative movement to a person that has no ideas
of any substance on the important issues, the nuclear codes of the United States to
an erratic individual.
He's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.
The military's not even gonna follow his orders.
The military's not gonna follow illegal orders.
Uh, and so the Trump campaign was forced to change their position
and say, "We're
gonna try to change the law so that the military can operate within the
law." Uh,
that's a tall order also.
I think he's a kook. I think he's crazy.
I think he's unfit for office.
We may not have that many outright Nazis in America, but we have plenty of cowards
and bootlickers, and once those fleshy dominoes start
tumbling into the Trump camp,
the game is up.
Here's the problem with Trump. He says, "Go ahead and kill the families.
Go ahead and torture. Go ahead and go further than waterboarding." What
happens
when people follow those orders or, or don't follow them?
It's not clear that, that Donald Trump will have their back.
Donald Trump is oftentimes about Donald Trump.
At the end of the day, do you believe Donald Trump,
who always tells the truth?
Just kidding. Or do you believe that woman on that tape?
He doesn't represent my party. He doesn't represent the values
that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.
This is a man who in rallies has told his supporters to basically beat up the
people who are in the crowd, and he'll pay their legal fees.
There is definitely an element of Donald Trump's support that has its basis in
racism or xenophobia.
You don't want a top-tier presidential candidate getting all of their military
advice from watching Meet the Press.
My fellow service members and I, we are not your prostitutes.
You are not our pimp.
Can't stomach Trump. I think that he's noxious and is leading the
white working class to a very dark place.
No matter what happens in this election, for years to come, there are many
people on the right, in the media, and voters at large that are gonna be
having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap
of supporting Donald Trump.
