Trump’s Not a Conservative Icon, and I Don’t Care!
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/12/16 | Jim O'Neill

Posted on 02/12/2016 8:29:55 AM PST by Sean_Anthony

We the people have responded--to the disbelief and chagrin of the elites: "We love America, we think it is great, and you can take your global utopia and shove it where the sun don't shine!" God bless America!

Trump’s no conservative an’ I don’t care. Doo-da, doo-da. Trump’s no conservative an’ I don’t care. Oh de doo-dah day. Gonna run all night; gonna run all day. Trump’s no conservative an’ I don’t care. Votin’ Trump anyway.

To the tune of “Camptown Races/Ladies,” Stephen Foster (1826-1864) (Note: also works with “Trump’s not a liberal….”)

Trump is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones.—The Editors “National Review”

What good is an ideology if you can’t get anything done. Trump will get things done per a conservative leaning ideology he espouses. This ideological purity crap is for the USSR not the USA.

Yea, that's right. Purist conservatives should have built that wall but they were too busy arguing how many conservative angels can fit on a pinhead or some such.

I don’t care either. The situation is desperate. We need someone to reverse the Decline and Fall of Western Civilization, and he’s the only who is able and willing to do it, and he knows what’s going on.

Reagan legalized abortion and passed anti gun laws in California. And was divorced. So he would fail the modern conservative purity test.

Obama’s been getting things done too.

Business ... but not as usual

Trump wants to win .... and he wins in and as ... an American

If he can (and most believe he can) get America a deal ... he'll have the damndest time to not be charged with insider trading ... he and his kids

Have you looked at Trump’s platform? What’s not conservative?

I’m a Cruzer. Not a Trump fan.

But this infantile, immature grade school attack is stupid.

A month ago Trump supporters on Freerepublic were declaring that he was a conservative. In the last week, we have more and more Trump supporters coming out and saying they don’t care that he isn’t a conservative.

I ask as sober, serious question to the Trump supporters here. If you came to the conclusion in your own mind that Donald Trump was not guided by conservative principles, would that cause your support for him to waver?

If not, what would it honestly take for your support to waver?

You don’t have to respond, I just want you to ask yourself that question.

I’d prefer Cruz but without Trump Jethro would already be enthroned, so I’ll take either one.

That’s a stupid comment - Obama did not run as a conservative. Trump will get things done as a conservative leaning president. You want a feckless conservative who won’t get things done? Vote Rubio - I don’t think he even shows up to work in the senate anymore.

Here’s a serious question for you: If Trump had not entered the race, who would have won Iowa and New Hampshire and been on his dynastic way to an epic loss in November?

Why hasn't any other GOP candidate come out in favor of building a border wall? If Trump can get a wall accomplished, he will be the greatest president in my lifetime, without question. Just the fact that he's brought the topic of stopping illegal immigration into the political conversation of a presidential campaign means he's done more for conservatism than any candidate since Reagan.

“Reagan legalized abortion and passed anti gun laws in California. And was divorced. So he would fail the modern conservative purity test.”

Trump is no Reagan and never will be.

The fervent Trump supporters posting here today; will be calling for his resignation 6 months after he takes office.

We need a real conservative who wants to shrink government; not make it “better”.
I don’t want “better” government; I want much less of it.
I want to be left alone.

Trump should ban all Canadians from entering the country also.
