Like it or not, the conservative movement is, by definition, a movement of ideas being put into action. The problem with the Boehners and McConnells of the world is that there is only lip service on ideas, and there is no action. The problem with Trump is that there are no ideas and, in fact, he scoffs at ideas. Neither is acceptable, but I fear the latter more.
You must not have read Donald’s books, watched his shows and how he mentored diverse people, or even paid attention to what he says and why.
The guy thrives on challenges and new ideas.. He is always working, always digging ... One of the things principled conservatives dislike about Trump is exactly that he IS open to new ideas., which they find frightening ... . He may even work with the democrats instead of taking a principled oppositional stance, as Cruz promises to do ( and we see how much Cruz has actually accomplished in 4 years by standing on his own)
Thus on some issues, we see and hear Trumo changing or equivocating based on getting more information - and he is attacked for this dynamism
Face it Trump is a CEO but has never held government office and he has no idea of the state of the world until he starts getting classified briefings. It is going to change him when he recognizes the story behind the story as in 9-11 and what is going on now. Assuming he can receive non politicized intelligence if such a thing exists anymore in our rotten agencies
One of his great strengths is going to be the ability to choose the best of the best as advisors and then challenge them to come up with ideas he can adopt. Thus far we haven’t seen him focus on military advisors. Some of the regular suspects like former CIA/NSA Hayden are turning out to be just as corruptly politicized as any entrenched special interest group. Most of the other generals seem to be keeping their mouths shut and their powder dry - as they should
