Trump is not a “Real Conservative.” Even many of you Trump fans have admitted that over these months.

That is just flat out not true. Trump is the conservative in this race in both deeds and platform.

Trump is a populist/nationalist....and that’s where the country is.

But Trump is conservative enough, 1st & 2nd Amendments on steroids, free but fair trade, private insurance with portability, HSAs, against amnesty, etc.

And he’ll do what he says.

He is a Real American, and that’s better. We’ve had “real conservatives” in Washington for years. Funny, they look like “real liberals.” Including ol Teddie, who voted right along with the real liberals on TPP and Corker.

I’m ready to try an American. “Conservatives” haven’t done squat for me.

You are right.

Look at Trump's motto, "Make America Great Again". His motto is not "Bring America to Christ", or "Shrink America's Government". His motto is "Make America Great". He wants America to regain greatness.

Trump is not a traditional conservative. Neither is he libertarian. Trump is a nationalist.

And perhaps that's what many of us want this time around: somebody who loves America, and wants Americans to be prosperous and secure once more.

No true Scotsman, except for Trump.
