Trump is on record for the past 30 years talking Conservatism.
There are youtube videos with Trump talking Conservatism going back to the 80s.
Trump is more of a Conservative than we've had in decades.
Cruz supporters fell into the trap long ago believing that "anybody other than Cruz isn't a Conservative."
By that logic, nobody else on the entire planet is worthy, or will ever be worthy, of the GOP nomination other than Ted Cruz.
Most people saw right through this. The overwhelming vote victories support this.
Simply not true. The videos or writings are out there going back less than to the ‘80s showing Trump holding the opposite positions on amnesty, abortion, taxes and gun control to name a few.
I didn’t fall in that trap. Rick Santorum would’ve met my conservative credential test as well to name one. Newt Gingrich did last time as well.
The vote victories mean nothing as far as deciding who’s conservative. By that logic, McCain and Romney were the most conservative the last 2 times.
We need to be honest about who these people are, if you’re going to have any hope of influencing them and holding their feet to the fire once they’re elected. Bush got some criticism from the right during his tenure, including on the Harriet Miers court nomination. It’s the job of conservatives to hold all elected officials accountable.
Another post of the day!
