It's much better to have a candidate who is a washington DC outsider and not an ideologue, more like a real person, with real ideas not tied to one ideology and not being able to deviate from that ideology, who is not a lawyer... Trump is that man, you'll come around. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70316124 Gone are the days of bill buckly. Instead you have these conservative light weights.

Trump is that man, you'll come around. I'm sorry, but you missed the point. The very meaning of the word "conservative" as so many other words have become populist and ambiguous is lost now-a-days. People call themselves a "conservative" as if they have founding principles that they want to see conserved. The problem, and Ryan is an excellent example, is that they say one thing and do the opposite. They have no principles at all beyond securing and maintaining their own power, influence, and egos. Trump is no different in that regard. What I have come around to is that our Republic has died because it's people have long forgotten and now reject outright who they used to be.
