What is driving the Trump phenomenom is disgust with current politicians and the media.

Fine. I get it. But that doesn't mean he is a conservative, regardless of his Republican title.

Please show me, by his past actions, how he qualifies as a conservative.

Because sticking it to current politics and media does not count.

???

I've never said anywhere on Free Republic that Donald Trump is a conservative, in the way we on FR define "conservatism". Not once.

What I have said is that I want Trump to destroy the hold of the Media DeathStar over America. As long as the Media DeathStar can park over any conservative target and destroy her, him or it with laughable ease, conservatism has a problem. Ted Cruz is NOT immune to this.

The only one who seems to be immune is Trump.

Conservatism will advance once someone shows us how to pummel the Media into bleeding scraps. I think Trump is doing a super job of pummeling.

I have replied probably 10 times to posts such as yours, I will give you a
lifetime of conservative values in Trump, he has raised his children with staunch conservative values! I know this man through his children, all of his LIB speak doing business in NY means nothing to me, just look at his kids! They are the true lifetime of his values!!

You have no idea how Trump raised his children and with what values. Or are you a close friend of the family where you could actually witness how he raised his children?

And you are looking at what the media portrays them to be ... which may or may not be accurate. I'm assuming you have raised children, as have I ... we both know they don't necessarily take your values with them.

And how staunch were his conservative values when he was supporting Hillary?
