The Rush Bros pining for Cruzifer and berating Trump daily.

You know what? I’m sick of so called CONservatives and how they think they are the only ones who represent the Republican party and yet give obama every damn thing he wants be it immigration, PP funds, continuation of obummercare etal!

Go Trump go!

No, I Don't Believe Donald Trump Is a Conservative

Notice how the media elites define the language for us. It's always "Conservative, Liberal, Establishment".

I heard 3 old men talking about the "establishment" on Sunday Morning. No one was using that term a few years ago.

Over the last few decades, the political class has taken conservatism, a once-great political philosophy, and reduced it to supporting unfettered globalism combined with ill-conceived adventurism abroad, and then screeching that anybody who doesn’t support their agenda is not conservative. This bastardization of conservatism has gotten us to this abyss. So, no, David Limbaugh, you and your ilk can take your “conservatism” and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Trump may not be the most “conservative” in the race, according to you, but he is by far the most pro-American, and that is what we desperately need right now.

David Limbaugh just proved why he is second to Rush.

Of course Trump is not conservative. He’s populist and nationalist. Populists pick a few liberal and a few conservative positions that give favor to individuals, and nationalist, to the nation.

He’s good on my two main issues: Immigration and gun control.

“Conservatism” has become a religion for some. These zealots have been exposed by this election cycle.

Where their cult of conservatism is more important to them than saving our country. For them, Trump isn’t “Black” enough, I mean “conservative” enough. Even though most of his views are “conservative”, and his stated policies are conservative, they still attack him as if he were a Communist.

As Donald Rumsfeld said “You go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time”.

Stop trying to destroy the “army we have”, The Trump army. Donald J Trump, commander in chief of his army of voters.
By constantly attacking Trump, they are at the same time attacking his voters, ultimately YOUR general election voters.

It’s time to STOP attacking Trump on his conservatism. He’s conservative ENOUGH!

The conservative zealots, cultists, are finding out in this election just how few in number they really are. If they had their own convention, it would have to be held at a Holiday Inn Express. MOST conservatives do not ascribe to their version of conservatism. Most conservatives find Donald Trump conservative.

Exit polls have shown him to win among ALL types of conservatives. Yes, as the categories get to “moderate conservative” or “somewhat conservative”, his numbers SOAR because that is where MOST conservatives are.
For “conservatives” to win, you need ALL conservatives.

Rush and David Limbaugh, nor the fools at National Review, get to define who is a conservative. We know who we are. We know what our values are. We don’t need the pompous zealot wing of conservatives to dictate just who can be in their elite conservative club.

Go ahead, just keep on attacking Trump and his “conservative” voters and you will be holding your meetings in a phone booth.

I ran across the following a few weeks ago in an article on whether Trump is a Conservative or not and the author named 40 things So Called Conservatives support.
So here they are, by this list and definition I guess Trump is a Conservative:

Here are forty things that real conservatives do, think, believe, and support which show that they and Trump are merely peas in the same pod:

Real conservatives talk about reverence for and fidelity to the Constitution but don’t actually follow the Constitution.
Real conservatives think that Americans should be locked in a cage to be raped and humiliated if they possess too much of a substance the government doesn’t approve of.
Real conservatives support taking billions of dollars from American taxpayers and giving it to the corrupt governments of other countries in the form of foreign aid.
Real conservatives think that Israel should receive more foreign aid than any other country.
Real conservatives complain about Obamacare but never open their mouths about Bushcare—the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 that expanded Medicare beyond LBJ’s wildest dreams.
Real conservatives believe that all tax reform should be revenue neutral.
Real conservatives support the national security state overseen by the CIA, DIA, and NSA.
Real conservatives support the Department of Homeland Security even though the United States already has a Department of Defense.
Real conservatives support the continuation of U.S. military alliances with many countries around the world.
Real conservatives support making “the rich” pay their fair share via a progressive tax system.
Real conservatives support increasing the defense budget.
Real conservatives attack Bernie Sanders for being a socialist but at the same time support socialized medicine via Medicaid and Medicare.
Real conservatives support refundable tax credits like the earned income credit that allow some Americans to receive tax refunds when they paid in no taxes in the first place.
Real conservatives complain, sometimes, about the abuses of the TSA, but never call for airports and the airlines to provide their own security.
Real conservatives support federal gambling laws.
Real conservatives support the government taking money from some Americans to educate the children of other Americans.
Real conservatives believe the U.S. Navy is a global force for good instead of evil.
Real conservatives support the National Instant Criminal Background Check System for all gun purchases.
Real conservatives support the U.S. empire of troops and bases that encircles the globe.
Real conservatives criticize, sometimes, the waste and fraud in federal welfare programs, but support in principle the welfare state via WIC, food stamps, SSI, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Section 8 rent subsidies, SCHIP, and TANF.
Real conservatives believe the government is entitled to a portion of every American’s income.
Real conservatives think that Social Security—an intergenerational, income-transfer, wealth-redistribution welfare program—should be “saved” so that future generations of the elderly can be supported by the young.
Real conservatives support the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and see a role for the federal government in education even if they call for abolishing the federal Department of Education, which they rarely do anymore anyway.
Real conservatives believe the government should provide the poor and farmers a safety net.
Real conservatives support laws against victimless crimes.
Real conservatives consider every veteran and member of the military to be a hero.
Real conservatives think it is okay for the government to take money from those who work and give it those who don’t via unemployment benefits.
Real conservatives support the United States imposing sanctions on other countries, a form of economic warfare.
Real conservatives support a government space program.
Real conservatives support a foreign policy of intervention in various degrees instead of a foreign policy of strict neutrality.
Real conservatives want to consolidate federal job training programs instead of eliminate them.
Real conservatives believe the United States should police the world.
Real conservatives want to eliminate certain tax deductions, credits, and loopholes that allow Americans to keep more of their money in their pockets and out of the hands of Uncle Sam.
Real conservatives support government grants for scientific and medical research.
Real conservatives think that free trade agreements have something to do with free trade.
Real conservatives believe it is the job of the U.S. government to provide relief to other countries after a natural disaster.
Real conservatives support the federal ban on organ sales.
Real conservatives would never publicly call for the elimination of the National School Lunch Program.

an infinitely superior candidate in Ted Cruz

Maybe he's "an infinitely superior candidate" for prime minister of Canada, but in America we want a natural-born American in charge.

Yawn. Big talk. No action. Probably has another book to sell. He can sit back and judge and spout his talking points all he wants. Does it bring industry and jobs back to this country? No. Does it seal our borders? No. Does it fix illegal immigration and the fact that working Americans struggle to pay their bills and pay high insurance costs? No. Does it stop ISIS and the attacks? No. Both Limbaughs are nothing but talking points now..with agendas. Their parents would not be impressed these days. :(

Accordingly, Trump's promises to make America great again and to restore winning are pathetically devoid of specific plans to achieve those goals.

What a blasé article. It's the biggest dogmatic purist hand-wringing fest I've ever seen in my life.

Trump's policy positions on immigration, taxation, trade, defense, and education, for instance, are each eminently conservative.

As for "details", there are actually plenty of those as well, but Donald Trump is about broad strokes, not minutae, and there' absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Details can be hammered out or left to subordinate wonks who specialize in that sort of thing.

A good Chief Executive doesn't get overly preoccupied with details; he or she relegates when needed, and, confidently and shrewdly leads the ship of state through uncertain waters in such a way as to best serve the interests of the nation and its people.

Once again, the hysterical elite are so very comfortable and content within the Established system, that they simply can't see the forest for the trees when there's a Revolution brewing.

Donald Trump will make a great President.

Go, Trump, go!
