Trump is the perfect Republican candidate, the elites are only worried about him because he disrupts their relationship with the donor class. But if you look at Trump issue by issue, he is not far a field from what the party claims to stand for.
Absolutely true.
However to understand what's going on we need to know the parts of the players. For the typical GOPe confidence man* the elements of the Republican Party platform are merely talking-points to sucker the American Middle Class base voters into coming together in a herd and nullifying their power so that the Democrat bagman* side of the Uniparty can fleece them.
* Confidence Man: The confidence man is someone who gets a victim to trust them before taking their money or property. An example of a confidence man is a con artist who acts like they're in love to steal someone's money.
* Bagman: The bagman (or bag man) is a person designated to collect and/or distribute illicitly gained money ("dirty money"), such as bribes to public officials or money that is collected in a criminal enterprise, such as a "protection racket," or an intermediary in such transactions.
Will anyone deny that the most important political issue from a pure Conservative position, is the continuity of the United States of America in a recognizable form? What could possibly be more important to any Conservative?
Secondly, what issues could be more important in that obvious pursuit than controlling our borders; in determining whom we allow to settle in America; in trying to protect the jobs and potential jobs of our rooted citizens from the manipulation by special interests?
Finally, a realistic analysis will indicate that the primary method of those who are destroying Conservative values in America has been the stifling doctrine of "political correctness." Who has struck the most meaningful blow against that stifling mechanism in the past twenty years? Surely the truest Conservative of the original 17 Republican candidates: Donald Trump!
Does anyone think that I have misstated the priorities?
