Most importantly: That position paper was written without any understanding of conservative philosophy.

You don't seem to understand his not being a "movement conservative" does not give you the moral authority to proclaim him a liberal, and condemn everything he says while leaving your own credibility intact.

Indeed, vapid comments like "I bet Trump couldn't even answer a quiz about what's in that paper," do little more than highlight your petulance.

I am only claiming he is a liberal based on his liberal opinions. (Kelo, taxes, big government, single payer healthcare, "taking abortion out of the political arena," gay marriage/Christian bashing pageant, etc.) That's more than enough to be called a liberal. Other politicians have been called liberals for far less on FR> (And by the way, many here think he is a movement conservative)

Why is that? Was it petulant when everyone made telepropmpter jokes about Obama? So far, Trump has never been able to show he has a basic understanding of conservatism. Yet, he says he's, "very smart." 23 times in one speech, but that's okay?
