Common sense Conservative. Bump.
I used to think he is a populist.
But he’s not even that.
He’s a charlatan like the fake faith healers.
Compare his hair to theirs (eg Benny Hinn). Always a tip off.
He’s a TV based cult leader like Hinn.
It doesn’t matter. Go Trump!
“I submit that a pragmatist might be just what America needs right now”
If that is true, then DJT is not the one. We do not need a self-serving, incoherent, politically vacillating TV personality who’s grasp of reality seems tenuous at best. Or someone who in every General match-up looses because so many dislike him.
Unless, of course, Trumpeters are willing to sacrifice the country to their hubris ...
Good article. This older one dove tails into it.

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?
What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?
What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?
What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?
What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

Trump is as fake as his Tan
So what. The GOP is not a conservative Party.
They are a bought and paid for subsidiary of the Democrat Party. That’s why we see them voting to increase the USA debt to $19 Trillion.
Imagine this Truth: The GOP led Congress has increased the Debt to $20 Trillion. Unbelievable yet 100% true.
So what if Trump isn’t a conservative as the so called conservatives around like Kristol, Will, the Bushs etc.? He is a father and grandfather who loves America and is NOT beholden to politicians and fat cat donors, the country will be a hell of a lot better off with him. He says it like it is and takes no prisoners.
And... He’s not a politician, or a lawyer, or a partisan hack, or a career bureaucrat, or a son and brother of ex-presidents, or a Canadian either.
I think most politicians now define “conservative” as “ideologue with deep pockets and low expectations”
Supporters of Cruz want a man who has constitutional principles. Supporters of Trump want a fixer. Following principles may or may not lead to fixing; following a fixer may or may not lead to principles. Caesar fixed Rome at the cost of the Republic; Sun yat-sen followed principles at the cost of China’s Republic. Perhaps it doesn’t matter what we choose at this point.
Lol, history repeating itself. Newt was just on Laura Ingraham’s show. He reminded how in 1979-80, the conservative Grand Poobahs supported Rep. Phil Crane because Ronald Reagan was not conservative enough.
Their successors are at it again.
I think he’s the best current option from either party on all of these
* immigration/security/military
* economy/jobs
* budget/debt/deficit
Those are my top priorities and don’t care what label you want to put on Trump or even what he believes on other topics. The president needs congress to get things done with these and most “conservative” issues. I think Trump can best negotiate with congress to make improvements on these issues and I’ll depend on congress to keep him in check on other issues.
This morning:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/02/18/fox-news-poll-trump-leads-in-south-carolina.html
“Trump captures 32 percent among South Carolina likely Republican primary voters. Ted Cruz gets 19 percent to Marco Rubio’s 15 percent. These are the only three candidates earning double-digit support.â€
You don’t fix problems with government. It’s like trying to hammer nails with dynamite. Donald Trump may want to make America great; I’d settle for free.
Yes this is the best description yet, I am not a techie can someone keep this post alive throughout the day today!!! All should read it!!
It is interesting to go to the Campaign Contribution sites to see who Trump donated to. in 2010, it was to Democrats. We’re watching the biggest bait and switch in history.
No, but her is an American Citizen. Not a politician.
