I. Do. Not. CARE. That. Trump. Is. Not. Conservative.
The Donald is effectual, and in today’s world, that is VITALLY necessary. He can take the bridge too far, and make the advance stick, as evidenced over and over in the campaign up to now. When the “conventional wisdom” says The Donald has “stepped in it for sure this time”, the actual outcome is that his poll numbers have RISEN, and those who attacked him are knocked flat as a cookie.
“Go along to get along” is just not The Donald’s style, when he sees something over there he wants. He can and he has trampled over lesser personalities to gain his objectives, but then he goes back (except in the instance of Rosie O’Donnell) and tells them that a good job they are now doing, as they have just has a tremendous learning experience, and have profited in some way from that experience. Enemies do not necessarily stay his enemies forever, but it is largely up to those adversaries to come and seek forgiveness from The Donald, not the other way around. He rarely if ever apologizes, but when events prove his judgment and assessment of the situation most nearly approximate reality, he really has little or no need to apologize.

They don’t understand leadership anymore. Many of these people who post these things want a leader who agrees 100% with them, will never ask them to change or to think outside of their little box. A leader who leads you where you would have gone anyway and has you do the things you would have done on your own is not a leader. In fact, why would you even have such a person? If they are just marching with the mob, hand them their own shovel and add them to the work force.
As you said, I want a leader who can see the “bridge too far” and can motivate us to take it and hold it, even if it requires sacrifices. That’s why you cross the Delaware. That’s the kind of thinking that causes a the rabble of a colony to open fire on the greatest military force in the world.
The people who understand leadership can overlook Trump’s imperfect credentials as a “Conservative”.
