A conservative that has conviction should be able to clearly explain positions they are for. Sorry but this guy can’t

Neither could Dubya and he was elected twice. Trump is a private citizen who is not a policy wonk. I want a CEO who selects the right kind of advisers like Jeff Sessions and knows how to delegate while setting broad objectives and uses his leadership to get things done. I don't want a micro-manager. It reminds me of a story.

A new 2nd Lieutenant is ordered by the Captain to erect a flagpole. The LT then calls in the First Sargent and asks him and a work detail to accompany him to the site of the flagpole. The LT then goes into great detail with the how deep and wide the hole should be, the materials to used to anchor it, etc. The Sarge interrupts him after this lengthy exposition on how it should be done and says, "Sir, let me show you the Army way on how it is done. Corporal, erect that flagpole."
