Escaping from the Trump Trap - Ep. 37
Republicans of all stripes are caught in the vicious cycle of having to respond to everything Trump says. They are ensnared in the circuitous Trump trap. How do they escape? In this episode, Daniel and Joe discuss the false choice conservatives have been given by the media and political class. Everything in politics is always a binary choice. This year it has fully centered around Trump – whether one is pro-Trump or anti-Trump. The only way to get out of this trap is to redefine the landscape and actually stand for something. Imagine if Republicans actually fought for some of the priorities we focus on here at Conservative Review? Then, the binary choice would be whether you are for flooding the country with un-vetted refugees or whether you stand for American sovereignty and security. Or it would be a choice of whether you stand for privacy and sanity with men not being allowed in female dressing rooms or not? Those are choices conservatives can win. But with a party standing for nothing other than quietly rubber-stamping Obama’s agenda, by default the only exciting news is Trump. Thus, they are caught in a trap of their own making.
