he may not be a true conservative, but he is a Nationalist.

Thanks for the post. But what do people think a "Nationalist" is? Why is this ok and a reasonable substitute for a constitutional conservative? Please define for me what you (or anyone really) thinks a "Nationalist" is. Then explain why that's a good thing.

This country was built, designed and fought for based on Individual freedom, integrity hard work, ingenuity. All the best individual qualities left alone in a civil society would always lead the Nation in the best direction based on it's founding. What is Nationalist and how does it fit the founders expectations and model for individual and state liberties?

I'll hang up and listen to your answer off the air.

“Thanks for the post. But what do people think a “Nationalist” is?”

Not sure what others think, I think it’s someone who puts the interests of the USA before all other countries. We haven’t had a leader like that in a very long time. It’s time.

“Why is this ok and a reasonable substitute for a constitutional conservative?”

It’s not. It’s completely different. I like Cruz, he’d make a GREAT president. He can’t beat hillary.

“Please define for me what you (or anyone really) thinks a “Nationalist” is. Then explain why that’s a good thing.”

IMO, someone who puts the USA first in policy decisions. So Less money for foreign aid, more money for us. A big wall on the southern border so Americans can have more jobs and less drugs and crime. Less military spending abroad as other countries are forced to pay for their own defense, if they want access to our consumer markets, so less military causalities and spending for us.

I would say that’s all good for the USA. Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and others won’t like it at all though. So what.

“This country was built, designed and fought for based on Individual freedom, integrity hard work, ingenuity.

I’m not sure I know enough about all this to answer. I only have my own humble opinion. I don’t think being a Nationalist precludes any of the above values. However having said that, I don’t think Trump is the best person to uphold ALL those values you mention, he is from the northeast.

But being a Nationalist implies “love of country” and that means you want your country to be prosperous, successful and ...great. Basically the opposite of a democrat.

“I’ll hang up and listen to your answer off the air.”

Lol, we’ll be right back after this obscene profit timeout!
