I, for one, tried to show who the REAL shill is and it's for obama.

Someone please explain. Name me one conservative principle he stands for and has stood for through the years. I get that people like seeing him slap around Obama and push the birther issue. But why make excuses for the fact that he's moderate to liberal? He's given lots of money to Democrats, called George Bush evil and said Nancy Pelosi should have impeached him. He's advocated for universal healthcare and supported a wealth tax. He's trashed Paul Ryan's budget and thinks slapping a tariff on China will solve our entitlement problems.
The guy is not a conservative. Why are so many on Free Republic shilling for him? Where was Trump during the 2010 election? Which tea party candidates did he support? The answer is zip zero nada. He gave money to Harry Reid not Sharron Angle. He gave money to Charlie Crist not Marco Rubio. But now the narrative is he's a tea party conservative bucking the Republican establishment? Oh please pass me a bucket. Do people not believe that a solid conservative can beat Obama? Do people here believe we need to run a moderate to beat Obama? Didn't we try that two years ago with John McCain? Aren't we trying to avoid that this year by not supporting Romney? Can anyone really say that Trump is more conservative than Romney?
Oh and before anyone asks who do YOU support, I love Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain. And I hope Paul Ryan changes his mind and decides to run. Also if Alan West or Marco Rubio decided to get in the game I could support either one of them too.
"Amen, brother."
It would appear that the DNC/Rove talking points have changed from "he's a Joke/he's a buffoon/ he's a Hillary shill/he's arrogant" to "he is not a conservative".
So we can expect to see the disruptors and non-thinkers spew this crap for a few days.
These people are so predictable.
You confuse “voting for” with “being glad someone has guts finally”.
Mind explaining what’s conservative about Trump? Bloviating does not equal conservatism.

A “conservative” site...???
Gunny G: Just WhatThe Hell IS A “Conservative,” Anyway?
(This Is NOT A Question)
My Simple Answer: Like Goldwater, a conservative libertarian (note: small “l”)
That simple. Google it, if you must.
Most who consider themselves “conservatives” don’t really know, like nobody else really knows what they really mean about anything, either.
Thus, the name itself has now become bastardized, like many others.
Patton was lucky, at least he found one sob in his headquarters who knew wtf he was doing.
Not so any longer in this world, I’m afraid.

“What shilling?”
___________________________________________
Exactly. ej asks “The guy is not a conservative. Why are so many on Free Republic shilling for him?”
I ask - can you link to just one FReeper that thinks the Trump is a Conservative? Who thinks Trump should be the GOP candidate?
I’m not saying ej is an Obama-bot, but there are plenty of FReepers here who are. And they are using tactics like ej’s to blast Trump, birthers and conservatives.
ej - next time you post a useless vanity - be sure you think things through
“. Real conservatives were beating up on Obama long before Donald Trump came on the scene.”
Really? They did what Trump did? No even close. They gave Obama a pass. They best they ever did was swing a nerf bat.
"Mind explaining what’s conservative about Trump?"
When you can not answer the question you just change the subject.
Typical LibThink.
I never said that Trump is conservative, he did, so go ask him.
My point is that if I have to choose between a conservative that does not have the balls or leadership skills to put 0bama, the DNC, and Karl Rove on the defensive and Donald Trump who hands them their a$$ daily. I choose the leader, you can stick with the followers.
What this country needs is leadership that can take the fight to the enemy, not another bunch of wimps too afraid to even ask the questions that need to be asked.
Have you come up with the name of a conservative that forced 0bama to produce a document (forged) that he paid millions to keep secret?
Yeah, I though so, no answer.
BTW, the DNC talking point has changed to "he's a racist"
would you say that Trump really is a good businessman? It seems to me that a lot of his wealth is notional and not real. But I don’t know that for a fact and am willing to be shown that that is a wrong opinion
Some people don’t get that the enemy of their enemy isn’t their friend.
That’s why you’ve had some misguided people saying nice things about Hillary F. Clinton back when she was running against Obama.
