Actually, it is. At least more conservative that credentials that he married anything else ;)

It would help in headcount, but not address the root problem that so many of the new hires are political tools.
I hope you are right.
True. Isn’t there a regular switch of those political hacks when a new party takes over. Since trump won’t have a list of donors or bundlers he will have to do interviews to fill spots. Could be interesting
If you’re a single issue guy, then I understand. But beyond one issue, the Kochs are not establishment...and they are the opposite of cronies.....which puts them to the FAR RIGHT of a certain someone in some ways.....
Sorry Ed. They’ve jumped the shark and too many people are aware of it. You should do more reading and less writing It’s a hell of.lot more than one issue. They are no better than any other who have bought control one side is no better than the other in that catagory
just wait...I got you on the list....to rub it in when the Donald steps in a big steaming pile of liberalism. It may come in the next debate...it may not come til he’s in the White House...but it’s coming. It’s who he is. Deny at your own peril.
Re criticism for Romney changing mind:
...”Over a lifetime I’ve seen many people who don’t change and they always get left behind. Smart people learn things, so they change their minds. Only stupid people never change their minds.”
Trump 2011
We will see who is smart and who is stupid
Bears repeating!!!
getting to the right answer without ever going thru the deception is certainly at least a LITTLE smarter than someone becoming conservative at age, what, 66?
I’ve learned a lot, but knew instinctively that conservatism was the superior way to order the affairs of a nation.
It does, and I have, but no one wants to hear it. This is a big powerful train that's doing some great and needed wrecking....but it's gonna end badly (for conservative limited government Constitution lovers).
Regarding his registering D. In my county for years we had absolutely no republican office holders. In fact many times the primary ballot was almost empty. On the other hand there was always 2 sometimes 3 or 4 running for each slot on the democrat ballot. If I had any choice in who one in the fall a D ballot was chosen in the spring. Yes I even gave former students money for their campaigns to encourage them. They were good kids. Thru the years I continued to work and vote for R candidates. The last two cycles ALL county offices have been held by Rs!
When you live in a D area (in my case KKK) you do what you can to get the best person for the office elected. I understand why Trump did what he did Sometimes it’s voting or supporting the best of the worse to keep the evil from getting control
I think he loves America and knows first-hand how it’s possible to have a wonderful life here. True, he started life living well, but the money he inherited could easily have been squandered in a few years’ time; he managed it well. He’s sick of what the country has become and he has the means and ability to help make that happen.
Beginning in the 1600s, patriots put country ahead of fortunes. Is it so hard to believe someone in this century would do the same?
“Trump is married to a beautiful woman, who would become a spectacular first lady.” She’s accomplished as well as beautiful. She speaks four languages fluently, and was an Architecture major.
I prefer principled conservatives, meaning those who have toed the philosophy for more than a couple years, and will have that same philosophy in the future.
That's a real testament to his conservative credentials. /s
By your post I can see that you like myself have an interest in our 1600’s and 1700’s New England ancestors, Have you read much about their religious and political philosophies? If anything our forefathers were quinteesential conservatives. They stood firm by their principles, and hardly ever wavered. Trump shows none of these qualities.

If my friends and I kept our conservative principles and only supported conservative candidates the Klan would still control our offices. (Including the sheriffs office). Maybe that is alright with you.
Forgot the second half of story
our family have been republicans since ci all war (even had cross burnt in yard ). My nephew was so upset when he moved to NYC with his new bride his MIL sells real estate on 5th ave FIL in garment industry. He knew no one. The R ballot was virtually blank. His inlaws sat him down and explained who had mob , who had Union who was related to whom. It was quite an education for a naive Midwestern xoncervative. Didn’t take long for them to move to North Carolina But there are reasons to change ballots in the spring. And to contribute to candidates running against a devil
I can't help that your local townsfolk doesn't know how to rid itself of it's lowlifes. Blaming that on conservative values sure isn't going to make you many friends here.
Of course they were Read post again. The Klan had control of the D party. No republicans dare run against them. We crossed over and got them out of power a conservative sometimes must vote for someone other than a conservative to achieve a more lofty goal.
