I know. I’ve read your previous posts. I just find it odd that Trump supporters will give Trump a pass on all of his past liberal positions, many of which he still supports (i.e. subsidies, Kelo, gay marriage, etc), but Trump supporters refuse to extend that same pass privilege to any other candidate.

I won’t vote for anyone based on my faith in them because too many times that faith is betrayed. Faith in a candidate is strictly emotionally based and is not objective nor logical. I would prefer to vote based on records, histories, agendas, known tendencies, political affiliations, etc. because those are all fact based. In the fact based category, Trump is severely lacking so I won’t support him. I will vote for Cruz.

The problem is that even if Trump wins the nomination, he won’t be able to win the general election unless he convinces true conservatives that he is no longer a liberal (i.e. McCain & Romney). Unfortunately, much of what he still does and says proves otherwise (like supporting subsidies in Iowa). We need a conservative to save this country; not a left leaning populist. We already got that with Obama.

How consercative is expanding the H1-b visa program by 500%?

How conservative is actually voting for cloture on TPA which would give Obama carte blanche to negotiate another POS trade agreement and only 50 votes to pass it in the Senate? If you vote for cloture you might as well vote yes.

How conservative is your immigration policy when you serially repeat the phrase “we have to secure the border then have a conversation about what to do with the illegals that are here”?

How conservative or even bright is it to vote for the Corker bill which basically guts the Senate’s right to ratify treaties?

You need to quit worrying about Trumps positions and worry about Teddy’s.
