Trump 'needs all the help he can get,' donors say

What you choose to deny is the reality that Trump is a natural conservative. It was not clear in years past, when his focus was on business. It is very clear now, as he is risking everything to stand up for America. That parallels the Founding Fathers putting everything on the line in 1776. Some of them were also all about personal business before they woke up to the crisis in the 1770s.

That is too bad I personally don’t envy or judge the rich. I find nothing worse than the self righteous party leaders who say they not the voters will decide. The mess I see in this country is because we have been so lackadaisical that we have allowed these leaders to be tyrants and lie to us every 2 years for votes.

But to each his own and I respect your right to your views which is something the radicals are bent on denying us. Hope you get to feeling better. Illness is such a drag.

Well, he is on every medium of the entire media claiming by word and deed that he is not a conservative until about 4 or 5 months ago. You don't see that as a problem coupled with his statement that he can be anything we want him to be?

What is a "natural conservative"?

I have been a conservative, a "real" conservative, since AUH20. I have worked in every aspect of grassroots life-liberty-pursuit-centered action since I was old enough to vote. I have lobbied for pro-life bills. I have worked to build and keep the pro-life plank in the Republican party platform. I have homeschooled, I have stood outside abortion clinics and counseled young women to keep their babies. I written many letters to the editor before there was an Internet. I read every issue of Human Events and National Review throughout the Reagan years. I have read Frederich Hayek and Milton Friedman. I have read most of our Founding Fathers. I have on my mantle a clock which features my three favorite presidents: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan which I had a artist make for me. In my den I have Washington Crossing the Delaware so my kids would be inspired.

Donald Trump is no conservative. Now wait a minute, he does seem to know how to handle money and he did have his picture made with an eagle in his office, so maybe he is a real conservative.

My article, linked above, explains exactly what I mean by a natural conservative. Your own Conservative development does nothing to deny that Donald Trump is now going through his own.

4 to 5 months? In that case he will have to rely on others who seem to have more conservativeness. That means we will have to wait until he catches up with true conservatives.

We really don't have enough time to train the new guy.
