Excellent article about Donald Trump's conservative creds
He doesn't have any.

I have posted about my opposition to Trump before, but generally lay low here about it because GLP is so insanely blinded by Trump's charisma and ability to say exactly what people want to hear. That and several friends here on GLP support him. It is almost pointless to speak out against Trump here because people are so blinded by the red meat he keeps throwing out to the hungry lions.

That said, the man simply is not a constitutional conservative. He is an opportunist who is brilliant at exploiting core emotions to his advantage. Just read his book for crying out loud. It is what he does. Why would you think this time is any different?

Dear friends, you are being played. I try to assume the best of people without being too naïve, and I would imagine that many of you acknowledge, at least to yourself, that Trump is not what you want him to be, but accept his past political waverings because of how strongly he seems to embody your anger at government in general and especially the traitorous establishment Republican bastards. Your hopes and dreams hanging on his awesome sounding words today are not going to change who the man has always been or what he would do (or not do) in office.

With that forward, here is the article the title mentioned. Please read with open eyes and honesty with yourselves. [link to www.nationalreview.com]

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

Re: Excellent article about Donald Trump's conservative creds
The way the conservatives in this country have behaved, paul ryan being number one, most people have had it with them.

Gone are the days of bill buckly.

Instead you have these conservative light weights.

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.

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.
