I see DT as more of a populist than a conservative.
I’d rather hear your impression of the article first.
See tagline.
I searched the article for the first mention about immigration. The author suggested according to “the people he talked to” it’s not about immigration. Whatever.
All of these inside the beltway types can not imagine the the people outside the beltway would be upset that the Establishment has let, no helped, Valerie Jarrett and her puppy, Barack Obama fundamentally transform America into a Socialist Dystopia. When we finally get someone like Donald Trump, who at least recognizes the problem and has demonstrated the ability to get things done, the Establishment is surprised that he is popular!

“There is NOTHING more conservative than stopping a permanent democrat/marxist voting majority and doing whats best for the people and the country. By virtue of Mr.Trump’s position on illegal immigration he “Trumps” all others conservatism.” [Credit to FReeper Lopeover for this quote].
We face a critical choice in the Republican primaries. Which of these 2 people do we nominate for President:
1) The practical guy who will do what I want 75% of the time, and save the country in the process; vs.
2) The (mythical) ideologically-pure guy who will do what I want 100% of the time, but who can’t get elected.
I’ll choose Door #1 every time. “The Perfect is the enemy of the Good” - because trying to attain that which is perfect necessarily precludes being able to actually DO what is good. FYI, credit to General George S. Patton, Jr. for the quote about the Perfect and the Good.
