Probably because Trump is a populist and not a conservative.

“King Obama”
Here in the Deep South many all black schools created a king Obama song for their grade school students to sing...My next door neighbor was a teacher from Indiana that just moved down here and absolutely horrified at what they were teaching the children at this public school...I just laughed and said it’s nothing new....Who was she going to complain to? Parents? no Principal? no School Board? no...suck it up cupcake....She quit teaching....We had a much better understanding after that :)

Cruz Bots you need 89% of the delegates
Give it up
To: DoughtyOne
Off your meds today?
Not sure where the delegate count came into it.
Using your numbers it’s highly unlikely that anyone wraps it up prior to the convention.
Well lunch is over. Have fun freepers!

Well the conservatives we did send have done nothing for abortions, gay marriage, protecting religious, nothing. Once they get their job they produce nothing. Give me a leader who will get things done or die trying. Trump is the right person for this time in history.

You poor folks can’t read, hear, or see.
People change.
Is Trump pushing the same things he was years ago? No.
You still don’t know it.
Let’s say you’re right. Cruz still needs to win 83% of the available delegates. He has won 29% so far.
It is over.

Trump is an American nationalist in the vein of George Washington, Andrew Jackson, or TR.

You clearly can’t look at data and discern meaning from it.
Even in the proportional period of this campaign, Trump obtained over 47% of the delegate allotted to this point.
Now that it is winner take all, he only needs 56% from here on out.
Do you see Cruz winning half the states from here on out?
LOL
Good luck with your assessment.

If you and the confused writer of the article cannot accept the fact that people can wake up, and reject what they formerly accepted, when they allowed others to misfocus their attention; you offer no hope at all for anything better.
You also totally miss the point that Trump is a natural Conservative, whose attention is now finally focused on what has been destroying his homeland, its people's future, their cultural, spiritual & material heritage.
Based on over 60 years of observations on how natural Conservatives progress when they finally wake up to what is going on:

The essence of Conservatism is Nationalism, which has long ceased to be part of Conservatism.
There’s some hardcore truth in that statement.

Yeah, and by his platform, Jimmy Carter was a conservative Democrat. We know how he governed.

I agree. But while I see much in common with Teddy, in his style, I think he will prove more Conservative than Teddy on a lot of issues. Why?
Because we are today challenged on things, which in Teddy's day were still so sacrosanct, that they never really engaged Teddy's attention in a way to offset his focus on some legitimate complaints which did engage him.
Teddy's son, Archibald, was a stalwart Conservative in the late 1950s & early 1960s, in ways which reflected the dominant patriotic side of his father, as opposed to his father's sometime sympathies for the non-Marxist muckrakers.

It's crazy how some here treat Trump as if he was a career politician, he is not and has never been up to this point. He is a career successful businessman and private citizen.

No, Jimmy Carter did not campaign as a Conservative anything.
He was a Leftist ilk, and anyone with any common sense knew it.

Underlying theme to this little twerps story: Trump supports are dumb and need to be more informed. *Supporters.
To: Ohioan
As we wrote in “A Patriot’s History of the US,” Teddy’s main flaw was that the man did almost everything-—except run a business. If he had, no doubt some of his goofy Progressivism would have been curbed.
