Trump is not a conservative.

Neither are 99% of the politicians who pretend they are.

Dennis Hastert was a considered solid social conservative, up to the point where he got caught having molested little boys.

And he got his seat because the social conservative Bob Livingstone had adultery skeletons in his closet.

And Livingstone got the seat because Gingrich - another social conservative - himself had a record of adultery, and an extremely ugly one at that.

It’s time social conservatives started judging politicians on how they actually live and ignore the pandering to hot-button issues. Only that way will genuinely conservative people occupy those offices.

As a person, Trump is more conservative than most of the people who climb over themselves to tell you how conservative they are. And that makes him a lot better for conservatives than the prostitutes conservatives have been electing to office under that banner.

If Donald Trump is the nominee in the fall most, nearly all, of us will likely vote for him. But please don't kid yourself that he is anything but a New York Liberal. Maybe he actually believes some of the hot button rhetoric that has brought him to this point. But his history should give no one who isn't delusional the idea that if manages to get elected he won't govern just a nudge to the right of Hillary Clinton. That nudge will be enough come November, but everyone should be clear about what they're actually voting for.

And therin lies our issue: People actually believe what you just said, it doesn't matter how he actually lived his life or who he donated tens of thousands of dollars for or how many times he said hillary would make a great president
