Like I said, you can toss them aside and make excuses for Trump like because he wants to build a wall I'll ignore his Universal health care comments. Or because Trump wants to rebuild the military I'll ignore his support of Affirmative Action.
I look to Goldwater, Friedman and Reagan for guidance. They set the Conservative table and Reagan himself promoted it successfully.
If there were one or two issues Trump switched sides on over the years then I could see your point. But in his case it's every major plank of the principles we Conservatives hold sacred.
Look, you're not a Conservative and that's cool. But it seems a lot of Trump supporters expend a lot of cyberspace trying to convince us that he is. And we know he's not.
That said I'll support him if he gets the nod, just not while there's a true Conservative option.
There IS NO “true conservative” option. Cruz and Rubio are not eligible, Bush is GOPe, and the rest are not qualified either. Only Trump can turn us around economically which is the ship upon which America floats....and is now sinking because the seacocks have been opened and nobody is manning the pumps! You quibble about bottom of the bucket items. you’d better start worrying about top of the bucket list.
