Praise for Donald Trump


It should be obvious I’m not one to refrain from criticizing Donald Trump. With so many aspects that make him unfit for public office, from his business dealings and personal character to policy stances, there’s more than enough to choose from.

But Trump should also be thanked by those conservatives who still oppose him. From the day he announced his candidacy, he has exposed the pretenders in our midst, those who call themselves conservatives who yet shape their definition of that term to allow in the Golden Calf with Orange Hair, or those who abandon their principles outright and demand fealty to the will of the angry plurality the moment Trump has sealed the nomination. By his presence he has separated the true believers from the opportunists, and those dedicated to conservative values from those merely looking for their own Obama to put on a pedestal before all else. As Ben Howe wrote at RedState, we now know who our true allies are.
