This is why Trump will reinvigorate conservatism:
Donald Trump refuses to budge on Muslim ban, claims ‘Islam ruining Europe’
A day after he became a presumptive nominee, Trump refused to budge from his primary election season’s controversial rhetoric’s in a series of interviews.
Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump has reiterated his stand on banning Muslims from entering the US and deporting illegal immigrants out of the country. The rival Hillary Clinton campaign immediately slammed Trump asserting that the former secretary of state would not tolerate this divisive and dangerous direction as the US President. A day after he became a presumptive nominee, Trump refused to budge from his primary election season’s controversial rhetoric’s in a series of interviews. In an interview with CNN, Trump did not back away from his proposal to temporarily ban all foreign Muslims from entering the US. At the same time, he said he would work with Muslim countries in the fight against terrorism. But the onus for this is on those countries first, he argued.
Taking a rigid stand, Trump said he does not care if it hurts him. “I’m doing the right thing when I do this. And whether it’s Muslim or whether it’s something else, I mean, I have to do the right thing, and that’s the way I’ve been guided,” he told MSNBC in another interview. “And I’ve been guided by common sense, by what’s right. And you see what’s happening. We have to be careful. I mean, we’re allowing thousands of people to come into our country, thousands and thousands of people being placed all over the country that frankly nobody knows who they are. They don’t have documentation in many cases, in most cases. And we don’t know what we’re doing,” Trump said.
There is a vast swath of America which forms its opinions based on what it hears. Here, we not only have a Presidential candidate speaking these positions, we have a master persuader who speaks these thoughts, and couches them as merely being “careful.” Everybody wants to be careful, and nobody can attack you for being careful. Since the alternative must be reckless, people will naturally gravitate to Trump’s position. The effects on public opinion will be incredible.
Combined with our slip into the K-shift, Trump will produce a resurgence of conservatism unlike anything we can now imagine. That he will also put the coup de grace on the Clinton crime machine leaves one wondering how anyone could oppose his candidacy.
