Ok just cling to your failed Establishment political playbook of selective quotation, exaggeration and lying by omission. You guys do not get it. The political playbook itself is part of the problem. you are uaing the same old political tactics in a year when people are completely fed up with “politics as usual”..
Your candidates are acting like standard issue politicians running standard issue “politics as usual” campaigns and you wonder wondering why they are losing ground!
The voters have heard all the same thing from the GOP candidates for 3 decades. All the high flying retroic on ideological purity are meaningless to a voter who been underemployed since 2008,is worried if his employer is going to move his job to Mexico tomorrow and whose kids go to a corrupt, incompetent, gang infested school.
People want solutions, not “how many Conservatives can dance on the head of a pin”, ideological debates.
Trump is for an expedited return, a legalization amnesty for likely millions of illegals.
He's also for legalizing foreign students who graduate college. There are 200K of them a year.
Trump primarily features a consumer tax a.k.a tariffs and wants to raise the number of people who don't pay federal tax. Less people paying tax means less people will have skin in the game and more will vote for more free things.
All of these things won't help the job situation in the country it will hurt it.
That's why conservatism matters and deserves a change.
