Trump's Actions Touched the Heart of America, as Asserted by Phyllis Schlafly
Conservative Icon Phyllis Schlafly Backs Trump's Immigration Policy
Phyllis Schlafly, a renowned conservative activist who passed away in 2016, gave an interview to WorldNetDaily today, expressing her support for Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The iconic figure, known for her opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s and her long-standing war against the GOP "kingmakers" since the 1960s, credited Trump's draconian stance on immigration for his rise in the polls.
According to Schlafly, America has a right as a sovereign nation to decide who comes and who stays out. Trump's stance on immigration, as perceived by Schlafly, speaks to the heart of America. She attributes Trump's rise in the polls to his firm approach to immigration, a topic she believes addresses the biggest problem the country is currently facing.
Evangelical Christians, many of whom have never voted before, are supporting Donald Trump. In contrast to Ted Cruz's strategy of courting evangelical voters, they have voted for Trump in many primary states. Schlafly mocked Cruz's failure to win a plurality of evangelical Republican votes in many primary states, suggesting that Trump has effectively addressed the issue of immigration that the country cannot cope with.
Schlafly recalled a similar moment at the 1952 Republican National Convention, where she heard Sen. Everett Dirksen criticize the establishment GOP nominee. She senses a change in the political landscape, with the grassroots speaking out and supporting a candidate. The issue at hand is the influx of immigrants who do not believe in America, a concern that Schlafly believes Trump's immigration policy addresses directly.
The "kingmakers" are frustrated and unsure of how to respond to Trump's popularity. Schlafly's message to today's "kingmakers" is similar to Dirksen's message: they have led the party to defeat in the past. Schlafly is not surprised by the number of primary voters supporting Trump, and she aligns his views on immigration with her long-standing conservative stance against the GOP "kingmakers".
In conclusion, Phyllis Schlafly's support for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, rooted in his firm stance on immigration, highlights a significant factor in his appeal to voters. As the primary season continues, it will be interesting to see how this issue continues to shape the political landscape.
