“Trump is running as a Republican. His ideology is conservative leaning.”
Yes, he’s running as a big government Republican. You can’t name one thing he’s proposing that doesn’t require more government. It’s not the government that’s the problem, it’s the people running it. So he’s gonna make it great again. LOL

All the GOP candidates left except Trump and Ben Carson have worked for the govt their whole lives - even when they were briefly in the private sector. So we have this cognitive dissonance where limited govt espousing conservatives are voting for govt employee lifers.
