There is little that is inherently conservative about Trump. He’s high in the polls because he isn’t a politician more than because of his stands.

FWIW, if Trump were to come out and make a statement saying that he’s become more and more “conservative” as he’s become older - just like Reagan journeyed from the ‘RAT party to the GOP as he got older - and that one of the necessities of doing business in NYC is courting the patronage of certain ‘RAT politicians, he would immediately pose a much more troubling dilemma to the GOPe and libtards in the media. such a statement would give him cover on his history of political donations and many of the things he’s said over the years. NYC is essentially a libtard echo chamber and lots of people in red state America wouldn’t necessarily hold it against him if he admitted to falling into a sort of liberal groupthink mindset on abortion and gun control, so long as he clearly rejects those views now.

right now, he’s mostly a protest vote and not in any way a serious conservative. however, if he were to stop shooting from the hip so much, and make a calculated effort to become more serious with actual policy proposals, he could turn this “lightning in a bottle” into something more.

i don’t trust the guy, but lots of people seem to be putting a whole lot of hope in him. which reminds me of 2008. lots of libtard hopes in Obama even though he had ZERO paper trail. he was an empty vessel so people on his side projected all of their desires and wishes on him. seems to be a pretty good strategy if the MSM is running cover for you... you literally NEVER have to answer any tough questions about your past stances. The Bitch is dealing with that problem by refusing to talk to anyone in the media who isn’t a sycophant. Trump is just spouting off to anyone who’ll listen... that could be his undoing.

i’m still rooting for Cruz to be the nominee, but the race is wide open at this point.
