I have very little interest in celebrity status of anyone. I have more interest in what they do and will do. As for who is conservative and who has flip flopped, there are many so called conservatives who fit that bill. Do you remember all the conservatives lost in 2012 because THEY RAN OUT OF MONEY. It is as simple as that. We need to get rid of the corruption first. If we vote anyone but Trump we lose and that is the point. They can overwhelm us with money.
So let me make sure I completely understand this new position by Trump supporters. For generations conservatives have fought so called “Campaign Finance Reform” that Democrats have pushed because it would limit business from influencing elections and therefore benefit Democrats who are not business friendly (right here on this forum people tore McCain apart for supporting this very thing). And now Trumpsters WANT business campaign contributions out of politics and would prefer a billionaire with as many flip flops and sketchy position history as any other candidate in the race?
How about Mike Bloomberg? He’s rich and could self finance a race and not be beholden to anyone? There are many very rich leftist billionaires who could do the same. Is this really the future you want?
And since when did we not want a conservative candidate to be at least somewhat beholden to business interests, lobbies like the NRA, pro life organizations, etc?
The conservatives lost in 2012 because they were bad candidates. Period. Perry imploded and the rest just weren’t very good. This field is notably better.
Trump most certainly won’t get my vote in the primaries, I much prefer Cruz and a couple others. Saying that, if Trump did win the nomination he would certainly get my vote in the general election. I’d have to hold my nose, but there is no way I am whining, crying and sitting out because my preferred candidate didn’t win the nomination.
