Basically many freepers are not conservatives at all. They only care about one issue immigration and as long as someone attacks foreigners enough and blames all of America’s problems on them then these freepers will support him come hell or high water.
Life long conservative and veteran.
I am for Trump. Why? I know he is squish on many many issues but he is dead solid on immigration. The country is dying and immigration and Free Trade are killing it. So I am gambling that he will come thru on some if the things that I feel are critical which out weigh any stupid things that I know he will do.
With RINOs I get, well, nothing.
The dilemma many of us have though is that if this unfettered immigration keeps up, our way of life and voting power go away regardless.
Look at the last presidential election. Florida, North Carolina, Colorado and Virginia all went blue because of this massive immigration. You have states like California and Illinois that are now massive electoral vote troves that are permanently blue due to immigration. It won’t be long before stalwart red states go blue as well.
We can debate Arthur Laffer tax curves and planned parenthood all day long once we re-establish that we have a country here. Otherwise every other issue is moot.
I am a conservative and I care deeply about immigration. It is my litmus test issue. Immigration is the defining issue of our time. If we don’t change the status quo, this country is finished. Everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
If we don’t stop the illegal alien inundation, it won’t be our country anymore. I won’t give a crap about any of the problems then, it’s not my country.
