Trump has a chance of taking NY, NJ and PA. I don’t think Cruz would have any chance taking these states.
There is more to it than that. He is not just the most electable conservative. He is also the conservative most able to push a conservative agenda through the gauntlet of media and establishment power structures.
except for the “conservative” part.
I don’t have any opinion about ‘electable’ but I have serious doubts about the ‘conservative’ part.
Even if his conservative positions have been extremely recent?
It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.

Did we again change the definition of conservative? Last I knew Trump was not one.
I am of the opinion that using the word “conservative” and Trump in the same sentence is playing fast and loose with definitions.
So even after reading the list of Trump’s conservative positions those that hate him say things like - yeah he came late to it - which Democrat crap and “Polls show he can’t beat Hillary Clinton.” Really? Firstly he IS beating her already and hasn’t even really started after her. Granny Clinton IS THE ESTABLISHMENT people hate and she is a criminal - Trump will win at least 303 ECvs.
Sorry Coach - you lost me at the title by asserting Trump’s a conservative which - those of us not prone to self-delusion - know is patently false by the words coming out of his own mouth. He’s a go-along/get-along RINO at best, willing to trade “heaven only knows what” to the Dems to advance his agenda.
Once you get a *firm* statement from “The Master Negotiator” that lists the conservative values and constitutional rights and protections he absolutely will not negotiate away in the form of further infringement by E.O., policy and/or legislation loaded with dem goodies, then I will reconsider. Until then, Cruz is the only candidate I trust.
Coach is wrong.
Trump is not conservative.
(D)onald Trump is neither electable (60% unfavorable rating) nor conservative.
Trump, “conservative”?
Isn’t there a missing < / sarc > tag around here we can use?
Nothing on shrinking spending or reducing government. His position on abortion and Planned Parenthood changes. He's for government provided health insurance. He's for U.S. intervention in Syria/Iraq. He's for large tax increases in the form of high tariffs. None of those are conservative values.
Trump is not conservative and he has unfavorables at a record high for a candidate. Other than that the headline is dead nuts on.
I’m confused. People continue to argue whether or not Trump is a conservative. To my knowledge, he has never claimed to be one and his main campaign stands are patriotic / nationalist.
Well, except for universal health care. And amnesty. And gun control. And government surveillance. And eminent domain. And....
Most electable Republican candidate, perhaps. Up until a few months ago, Trump would have been offended to be called a conservative. He’ll hold on to that title until it is convenient to drop it.
There ya go. ...edited for accuracy.
