The guy is telling us straight out that he's a Democrat, and conservatives refuse to listen. They're still willing to cast a vote for him. Why?
I cannot answer for them. To me he is a populist. In days gone by he probably would have been a conservative dem. Today his party went left. Ours followed them to where the RINOs are slightly left of him. He is definitely no complete right wing conservative...never was and never will be.
