Trump 100% conservative? That's certainly a bit of a stretch. Here's a 70 year old man who has, up until a little more than a year ago, been a 'Rat. He's given large contributions to the likes of HRC, Pelosi, Reid, and Schumer. He's had The Witch as his wedding guest. He can't get his numbers and facts straight, has little knowledge of the principles of American government, and is now merely a Republican of convenience. Not even a RINO, but a ROC. I'll give him credit for being a conservative on one important issue, immigration, but he's a guy who thinks that transgendered men should be allowed in public women's rest rooms. How sick is that! Trump does have a history of "doing, building and paying lots of payroll checks," but a lot of that was accomplished by corruption: payoffs to Democrat politicians; it's called crony capitalism. Oh, and yes, he did some of his building with illegal immigrant labor, which is still essential to his company. And his bullying, boastful petulant, and impulsive behavior is, to put it politely, very much upresidential.
I was a supporter of Cruz, but his behavior this election is most disappointing.
Please tell me what it is about Cruz's behavior that is "most disappointing"? It's obvious that Cruz has a much broader range of issues on which he is conservative than Trump. He's been a conservative Republican his entire adult life.
There you go. Third sentence, and you're parroting the Trump-hater/GOPe/Cruz talking points.
Donald Trump has been registered as a Republican for more over the last 30 years, than he has been as a Democrat.
But let's just set that fact aside for a moment.
Jim Robinson himself reposted, as an entirely new article, a well-researched piece which conclusively proves that Donald Trump has talked about many of these same conservative issues (immigration, taxation, trade) going back over 30 years. Numerous citations were made from Donald Trump's own books, as a matter of fact.
That puts the lie to your false accusation regarding Donald Trump's conservative positions and beliefs.
Is Trump a perfectly ideologically pure conservative? No. But claiming he's not conservative at all is preposterous propaganda.
Additionally, Jim Robinson also was asked the question "Is Trump a Democrat?" and here was his response:
Build a wall.
enforce the law.
deport them all.
end sanctuary cities.
end anchor babies.
moratorium on muslim immigration.
cut the taxes.
cut the spending.
cut the regulations.
cut the government.
cut the debt.
cut the epa.
repeal obamacare.
get the feds out and allow health insurance to be sold over state lines.
send education back to states.
get a handle on trade.
make trade deals in our own interests.
bring back capital.
bring back manufacturing.
bring back jobs.
strengthen the economy.
defend the second amendment
defend religious freedom.
appoint constitutional conservative judges.
rebuild our military.
bomb the shit out of isis.
end political correctness.
take the gop head-on.
take the media head-on.
take the liberals head-on.
and win, baby, win.
all of the above on a shoestring budget compared to most of the 16 competitors he’s beaten.
no pacs.
no big donors.
what’s democrat about any of the above?
What’s not conservative?
what’s not to like?

So, to summarize, you are more content to regurgitate phony talking points, than to face the actual facts about Donald Trump.
Trump is certainly conservative enough from a policy perspective, and is a great candidate when considered in light of his leadership qualities.
Vote Trump
