Look him up! In the link below in the last 1 or 2 paragraph he comments on his atheism. In the same link he also comments on his seeming support of gay marriage.

Of course Trump would be a disaster for this person.

This is just another “Trump isn’t a conservative” diatribe.

Until you stop the wholesale destruction of this nation to the stalwarts and the globalist a everything else is irrelevant.

Arguing for anyone else based on their conservative credentials when they are beholden to the same money and folks who have given us nearly 3 decades of failed domestic, foreign and economic policies is a dead argument.

We have reached the point where what is best for America isn’t even on the table, it’s just left v right small ball to keep folks Balkanized and distracted while both sides sell this nation out.

If you are for open borders, amnesty, free trade et al your not putting America first. If putting America first isn’t your number one priority whatever else you argue is irrelevant. Left v Right when America doesn’t come first in the argument is small ball.

Trump may be a disaster, he may be great, but when the two parties that have given us, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama want to argue Trump will be a disaster they don’t have a leg to stand on.

If he’s a failure in 4 years, he will be voted out.. The Republic will survive. It’s managed to survive you abject mismanaged for most of my life, I highly doubt 4 or 8 years of a guy who puts country over party dogma is going to destroy it.

You might find your answers here.
I copied the first thing on your list that you said he didn’t want to give specifics on, reforming the Veteran’s
Administration................

I also like his immigration reform position.

Cutting the Fed Gov, alone, will make Trump a GREAT president.

How does he plan to do that?

“Nor is hiding the fact that he was still a Canadian citizen, when he ran for the Senate,”

That’s a very good point. Was that even legal to run for senate with a dual citizenship?

The issue is you assume Trump would expand government more than say Rubio or Cruz, and other than lip service what do you base this on? Sure Obama gave us Obamacare.. Bush gave us prescription drug coverage... Neither fall into limited government.

The dillusion far to many on the right have is that they believe the right has been holding the line on limited government. You think federal land grabs started with Obama? Banning of incandescent Bulbs? Rediculous safety spouts on gas cans? Large eggs now legally have no tie to the actual size of the egg? Etc etc etc. you think this expansion has been kept in check by republicans? If so you are ill informed.

Both parties do what their backers tell them, and their interests are stacking the government deck in their favor.

Trying to make any argument that Trump would be a failure by the folks who gave us Bish, Clinton,Bush and Obama is laughable. Trump may be a disaster, he may not, but for the folks who have given us those guys to try to say someone else would be worse is a hollow argument.

This nomination is, at its core, anti-GOP Congress. It makes no sense to nominate a member of the GOP Congress that did very little to stand in the way of the president’s agenda. Rubio and Cruz can only promise to reverse the policies of Obama that *they permitted* to get through Congress!

Other than TDS, there seems to be no real point to this article. The scope is myopic. What about foreign policy? Do you want an oversized government with Trump with an armed forces to defend the nation or an oversized government with Hillary with a Palistinean Authority consulate in the West Wing?

Bears repeating.

It’s about screwing D.C. and p%ising them off at this point.

Like someone else said: Trump is a runaway train loaded with dynamite heading for D.C.

“The most likely outcome is another four to eight years of trench warfare in D.C.”

I must have missed all that warfare, Oh, no I didn’t. It never happened. Like that monster of a fight on the last “budget”.. It must have taken every once of energy to hold the other half of the uni-party to they’re demands.

I remember people condemning pictures like those at Obama rallies the last two elections.

Now they celebrate. Our Republic is lost.

Just a thought.. Attrition is a good start. In this day, I’m not sure if you can just lay off Gov’t workers??? I am sure we here all know they make way better money then the folks paying their salary. Something has to give.

You can't let a mob run your party.

Um, dude! That "mob" is the American people!

It looks like this author is yet another person who embraces the premise that the people exist to cater to politicians' wishes.

People are tired of the yoke. Trump is running on the promise that he will unyoke us!

The author writes: "The myth that Democrats get everything will persist. But despite plenty of well-earned criticism, the GOP has been a more effective minority party than constituents give them credit for."

And he reveals himself as an flak for the GOPe and their donor class.

So of cause he would rather have a Hillary as President rather than a Republican who is not GOPe, Washington Cartel and Vichy-Republican.
