I support Trump and I don’t view him as the “Conservative Messiah”. I see him as....

That's the problem. People see in him what they want to see. They ignore his past. They ignore his recent statements that contradict statements he made a week ago.

What people want is someone who will scratch their itching ears.

The fact of the matter is that all Donald Trump has done is talk and when he does he talks out of both sides of his mouth. And if you don't like what he is promising to do today, then he will say the opposite tomorrow. And if you point it out, then he will call you a liar and get pastors to lead chants calling you "lying Marlowe".

Frankly I am fed up with Donald Trump's poisoning of the well. Go vote for him. But don't try to convince me that he is a conservative. He isn't. He's a populist and he will give the people what they want and only about 25% of "the people" have any conservative values or principles.

When the "populist" Donald Trump is elected president, he will find a way to please the majority of the populace and ignore every conservative principle he never held in the first place.

Right now I am praying for a contested convention. I don't see any other way out. Trump is not going to save this nation.

Yes he is a populist (Americans fed up with overrun borders, Mosques,free trade,etc) that’s a movement I can agree with. Cruz was talking about religious liberty issues when Bam Bam took the elevator down to announce and plainly state the issue. Cruz’s donors would not abide such a powerful stance. All politicians lie at times to get elected its a matter of choosing the one you see as the most authentic.

People are going back to the 90’s with comments from Trump.

If that’s fair with Trump is it also fair with every candidate?

Any old statement is actually their true position on an issue?
