Conservatives <9> Blown up the National Debt

Got us into two wars that are a joke.

Rich Lowry and Steve Hayes Please tell me what Conservatives have done in the last 20 years?

Held firm on a balance budget

Built the Wall that passed the House and Senate

You know Boys the PROBLEM might be the lies the conservatives have promised us and delivered nothing. Maybe that why Donald Trump is so popular and Conservatives

In the past 100 years there have been 18 Presidents. Other than Reagan, who was the perfect conservative President in conservatives opinion?

Some would add Coolidge.

Okay, Reagan and Coolidge. Two out of 18 Presidents in 100 years. 10% of the Presidents in the last 100 years, roughly. That means conservatives are going to be disappointed by 90% of the Presidents elected. That also means America is a moderate, centrist country and is governed pretty much from the center.

So Trump is closer to what the average American seeks than Cruz.

Conservatives did not blow up the national debt.

These Republicans were NOT conservative who were in charge. The problem is that there were not enough conservatives to stop them.

and now your brilliant logic says lets elect someone even left of those non conservatives....that’ll show em.

Brilliant. Enjoy your trump care mandate

People claiming to be conservatives.

So is Trump really a conservative? Or just another phony?

Past performance is the best indicator of future behavior.

Trump/Cruz. Compare their track records.

Please understand that republican does not equal conservative. The republican party has failed to deliver conservative policies for a long time but, that doesn't mean conservatism is a failure.
