I wanna follow-up on this great post at Hot Air from yesterday, "Glenn Beck on Sean Hannity: We’re at an impasse because I don’t understand why conservatives trust Trump."
Take your time reading that entry, which provides an insightful take on the conservative splits over the Trump campaign.
For me, I don't pretend Trump's a conservative. I just like the way he's pushed illegal immigration to the top of the national policy agenda. I certainly don't know if I'd vote for Trump in the GOP primary. Shoot, California's primary is scheduled for June 7, 2016, which means the race could be decided by then in any case. The fact is, Trump's pulling the Republican field to the right on immigration. Voters will vote for those who they see as best representing their interests, and in this case border security and economic nationalism appear as top interests among conservatives (and a lot of independents, according to polls).
So, it turns out that Glenn Beck just can't buy Donald Trump as a genuine conservative, whereas Sean Hannity looks at Trump pragmatically, seeing him as the kinda guy who can turn the country around.
It's pretty compelling.
Watch: "Glenn Beck questions Donald Trump's popularity," and "Glenn Beck provides insight into America's struggles."
