I know enough about why Trump is conservative in many ways and things he has proposed. But I can't find a easy to use and post list of things when people who are against him claim he is not a conservative/republican/ right leaning. These people have gone of the deep end. I thank anyone willing to help.
Good luck with that...
Don’t cuz he ain’t.
He’s still making this fun.
Good enough for me!
Might be a short list.
The Boss put up a pretty good summary last November, hope this helps:
Trump wants to secure the borders, enforce the law, end anchor babies, end sanctuary cities, build a wall, deport them all, secure the borders, secure the nation, including sending the refugees back!
No one is better at border security, national security than Trump.
Sounds pretty damn conservative to me.
Want to talk about cutting taxes, cutting spending, cutting regulations, cutting government, cutting cronyism, cutting corruption, growing the economy, putting our people back to work, making America great again?
Trump does. And he sounds pretty damn conservative to me.
Want to defend God, family, guns, country? Want to build the greatest military ever so no one dares mess with us?
Trump does. And he sounds pretty damn conservative to me.
Want to build a coalition including conservatives, capitalists, blue collar workers, veterans, gun owners, religious people, minorities, freedom-loving Americans of every stripe?
Trump does. And he’s doing it. And that sounds pretty damn conservative to me!
Reagan Revolution meet the Trump Revolution.
No excuses for the tone. None needed.

[ :) Sorry, I just could not resist this one.]
There are a few people who post them on occasion, hopefully they’ll swing by and share.
There are also several Cruz supporters who keeps lists of 20 year old quotes to “prove” that Trump is a Hillary plant. Expect to get some of those too, LOL.
Trump is conservative on these issues:
Pro life since at least 2011, wanted to ban partial birth abortion as far back as 2000.
Pro Traditional marriage. “Gay rights is not my thing.”
Pro capital punishment “Capital punishment isn’t uncivilized; murderers living is”
Hold Judges accountable
Opposes “Common core is a disaster” Teach citizenship, quit “dumbing down”.
Anti education unions (2000)
For school choice
“Climate Change is a hoax”
“No Cap-and-Tax”
For drilling our own.
On Environment “Good development enhances the environment”
Stressed the importance of a strong family & culture of life (2015)
Supports Israel
Opposes Iran deal and letting Iran obtain the bomb.
Wants to crush ISIS quickly.
Wants a military so strong no one will challenge us.
Against unbalanced trade deals that kill American jobs.
Against warrant-less government surveillance of citizens.
Is against having a high national debt. Warns that $24T is a point of no return.
Against gun control
For assault weapon ban but says the AR-15 shouldn’t be considered an assault weapon.
Wants to repeal Obamacare and replace it with market driven polices and increased competition among insurance companies.
Wants to increase military spending.
Will close the border to illegals
Will send the criminals and sponges back.
Will deport all illegals but will let the hard working ones go through the legal process to come back.
Against Anchor babies
Knows unemployment is much higher than official stats.
Will bring jobs back through better trade negotiation.
Attended military academy and Wharton Business School.
Stood up for Birthers and challenged Obama on his fraud. Believes USA is “the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known”
Wants to honor commitments on Social Security and Medicare, which we can afford to do if he gets the economy going full steam.
Wants to reduce the fraud in disability and other programs.
Against marriage penalties in tax code.
Wants to simplify tax code with just 3 simple brackets.
Wants to reduce income taxes and eliminate corporate tax.
Wants to rebuld our infrastructure.
Wants to apply welfare-to-work to 76 other welfare programs (2011)
Doesn’t have time for political correctness.
Not afraid to call out either party or both when they are wrong.
Not a puppet to rich campaign donors.
If you are supporting him and think he’s a conservative, you wouldn’t need other people to tell you.
He is a capitalist.
It’s the complete opposite of socialism and communism.
He has fought the government.
He has fought, and won against government regulations.
He will bring his expertise to reduce overregulation and impediments to businesses.
One big one: He wants to conserve the United States of America.
actually, a better idea would be for those high-priced lawyers of trump’s to put together a business contract (ala the crowd sourced Contract From America we tea-partiers cooperated on back in the day): call it the Compact with America, consisting of promises like *Repeal Obamacare*, Replace Obamacare with proposed Legislation consisting of X, Y, Z..., etc., etc.
then have trump sign the contract. that would go a long way towards getting all conservatives on board for him.
I’m not sure why they would have to go back 20 years for quotes. There are more recent ones that serve the purpose, the last time I looked.
You’re tag line makes me chuckle....
With your candidate of choice, you ain’t seen nothin yet, my friend.
He isn’t, but he is a Nationalist-Populist (and Trumpian, aka he’ll change his position if it’ll get him votes)..
Just look at his history as a political donor.
Hillary Clinton
Nancy Pelosi
Chuck Schumer
Mitch McConnell
Thad Cochran
Democratic National Committee
National Democratic Senate Committee
OK, nevermind that.... look at his investments
Strippers
Gambling
Real-estate speculation
Golf courses
Political graft
Well, he talks a good game, and we all know we can trust rich people and celebrities who talk like conservatives, right?
Mitt Romney
Nelson Rockefeller
Ross Perot
Well, we can trust the outspoken ones who aren’t afraid to sound just a bit crazy.
Arnold Schwartzenegger
Ross Perot
Jesse Ventura
Yeah... I’d love to believe in Trump. But I just can’t
“Good luck with that...”
LOL
Did you see the video of Donald Trump Jr yesterday in Nevada. WOW And all you have to do is think....”tree....apple”.

Trump is more of a realist, and sees the multitude of problems in this country brought on by the Greed of elected officials in both parties, and he wants to fix it.
I honestly believe Trump loves America and wants to do the right thing for the American People and to HELL with the Ruling Class and their Corporate Donors.
Becoming President is a Big Step DOWN and a Demotion for Trump. He really has nothing to gain and everything to lose.
