LOL. Trump always said that the deportations would prioritize the “bad dudes” (criminal aliens).

Rubbish! Read the quotes.

On healthcare his position was always that “everybody should be taken care of”

And that is exactly why Rino care failed. It is impossible to cover all the promises (really a rehash of the Obama care promises) and not have high premiums, high deductibles and high co-pays.

we believed that he was the only candidate that could beat Jeb and then Hillary.

That we will never know but your assertion does not have much to do with him breaking his promises. My firm belief has always been that Hillary was such damage goods that any respectable conservative would have gotten a better score than Donald Trump did.

No, Rino care failed because of this:

Freedom Caucus poised to back Ryan as speaker

Ryan’s Obamacare replacement plan was already out at the time and the freedom caucus still backed him.

Trump obviously wants Ryan out (check his tweet about judge Jennine and then what she said at the show). In the meantime he has no choice but to work with him. Ryan is the speaker of the house (thanks to the freedom caucus). Trump’s entire legislative agenda will go through him.

Balderdash. You REALLY believe that any "respectable conservative" would have held up to the leftist, media, and establishment onslaught that Trump has endured? Sure, there may be one, but I can't think of any names.

The problem is most certainly not Trump. Its the "respectable conservatives" that make up the Washington establishment. They don't waste a second when the opportunity to trash Trump or simple fold under pressure arises.
