“Sums it all up in a nutshell.”

I completely disagree.

The real “money quote” is “..I believe Donald Trump is, on a number of issues, BETTER than what passes for conservatism today.”

In fact, the author thought so since he used it in the title.

“Trump on a Number of Issues is BETTER Than What Passes for Conservatism Today”.

Why, when praising Trump, does everyone have to always include their little negative caveats?

I support Donald Trump 100%. PERIOD! Most of the caveats, which I will not mention here, ARE who Donald Trump IS.

Are YOU perfect? I am not! (I was going to add “Trump is not”, but that might be construed as a caveat, so I won’t), no one but Jesus is.

It’s like you guys are constantly APOLOGIZING for our nominee!!!!

STOP IT.....!!!!!!

Are you “supporting him”... or are you “supporting him BUT”

We need not say that we support him because he is “better than Hillary”. Who doesn’t know that?!!

How about we SUPPORT him for his positions on the issues.

Watch all these little video vignettes.

TRUMP is FANTASTIC! I hope they run every one of these as commercials.

Trump is soooooo comfortable in his own skin. He is so REAL!!!! People/voters love this about Trump. He isn’t “acting”. He actually BELIEVES this stuff. The REAL Donald Trump shines through.

I don’t really disagree with your post, but I do think you missed the way I took both the title and the quote “I will not guarantee that conservatives will applaud everything Donald Trump does. But I can guarantee that Hillary Clinton will do nothing conservatives might applaud.”

It says “passes for conservatism.” Therefore, it is saying there is a lot of conservatism out there that is weak or cino (conservative in name only).

Even THAT TYPE of conservative should like Trump better than Hillary. That’s what I read it as saying.

Less filling! Tastes great!

There are different kinds of conservatives, so there are different money quotes for different conservatives (and Trump supporters who are not conservatives).

For some of us, the social issues are central, and we effortlessly make the case that our political ills can easily be traced to a government that rewards and enables evil and suppresses and punishes good.

Others make the point that those good guys won't get to do anything good if they are all filled by "migrant" Muslims.

Still others want to avoid the moral dimension and emphasize a smaller government, that enables the good and limits the destructive power of anybody, left or right, tossing too much weight around to "do good".

Trump is NOT a small government guym, and doesn't pretend to be. So category 3 are mainly on board to avoid HRC. The first two categories have reasons to get on board.

ALL of us want to avoid the termites eating away at the U.S.A. and the introduction to further short-circuiting of the Constitution through regulation and the courts.

GO TRUMP!

I’ve read Trump’s issues. Some I support and some I do not. I’m neither surprised or disappointed by that because I have yet to vote for a candidate who I supported 100%. I suppose it would be nice to, but I’m not holding by breath waiting. I voted for Romney in 2008 not because I was an enthusiastic supporter but because on balance I agreed with many of his position and I disagreed with virtually everything Obama proposed. I voted for McCain for the same reason. And I am in the same position this year. I will vote for Trump in November not because I agree with all his positions but because given the choice we have he is by far the better candidate. And if that strikes you as “supporting him but...” then I’m sorry but that’s the way it is.
