Trump isn’t a conservative; he’s a populist.
But the people in the Republican Party he’s attacking aren’t conservatives.
They’re arm-in-arm with Obama leading this country to the brink of destruction.
They have no credibility to attack him from the right, since they wouldn’t know what it means to be conservative if it bit them on their ass.
"Worse, by giving Democrats still more ammunition, Trump is poisoning the well for any entitlement reform, no matter who gets the nomination."
What exactly have the “true conservatives†in congress accomplished?
Obamacare scrapped? Illegals deported? Wall built? Anchor babies outlawed? National debt reduced? Abortion restricted? China trade deficit reduced? Food stamp growth curbed? Welfare growth reduced?
If Trump can deliver any 3 of above, he is more than enough conservative for me and most rational people.
