A lot of “conservatives” aren’t conservative.

Conservative?

Trump says anything that comes to mind that he thinks will resonate with the drones at the particular moment.

That’s why he says things that contradicts stuff he said even the day before. His words mean nothing, they blow like the wind.

So True. But I am. I am a Christian first, American second, Conservative third and a Republican last.

Conservatism has become a cult. These self appointed high priests of conservatism declare who is pure enough.

Trump is far more conservative than Cruz. Cruz talks while Trump does.

This confirms why Rush has changed.

Pray America wakes

Tough luck. I think Brussels just won him election 2016! He’s the only serious candidate on terrorism.

Calling BS on David Limbaugh:

“On the issues, Trump appears to have no ideological core.”

Oh yes he does — patriotic courage.

Point 1: Trump promises to waterboard. [Cruz ducks that particular issue.]

Point 2: Trump’s trade policy. [Cruz opposes.]

Point 3: Trump’s muslim ban. [Cruz opposes.]

Point 4: Most definitive of all is Trump’s enthusiasm for a border wall. Cruz agrees, but he failed to be as confrontational with Mexico, thus his enthusiasm was less intense.

~~~~~~~~~~

Now for some fundamental strengths Trump has:

Point 1: Twenty five percent of federal employees would quit under the Trump presidency.* Trump is notorious as a cost-cutter. Is that statist? It’s a stab at the very heart of Levin’s claim that Trump is a ‘statist’.

Point 2: Leftist rent-a-mobs are statist. Cruz blamed Trump for his anti-statist attitude about these brown shirts.

One reason democrats seem more popular than they really are is because they have followed the Nazi maxim to ‘conquer the streets’. These goons even blockade roads and conquer public rallies.

This is the most dangerous aspect of statist power and might be the worst political error Cruz has ever made.

Point 3: Senator Cruz PUSHED for Chief Justice Roberts. On the flip side, Trump’s judicial considerations are anything but statist. Cruz is actually closer to being a statist regarding judicial nominees, and that is supposed to be his greatest strength!

Who cares what this blowhard believes...Trump is very conservative on the issues that matter most. Cruz et al opponents do not have the mechanical grasp of free market principles like Trump has...that came out in the debates.

Conservatism was made to serve man, not the other way around.

Good. Do you think we could get some of it to serve us, please?

Yup.

Same here.

In contrast, Trump is an American first, a businessman second, a flip-flopper/modifier third with no inside-out core, and a RINO.

Who cares what Limbaugh thinks? He’s shilling for conservatism, which we don’t need. We need “Statism That Works for Us.” (Great slogan, no?)

David, you are a good man; albeit, being a proxy for Rush is a poor character item. We see through it.

In addition, Kasich is not a conservative.

Cruz and his wife have sold out on a number of fronts.

That leaves Trump.

Or Hillary.

David, who are you voting for? Are you gonna bet on Cruz - who couldn’t see Roberts’ true rainbow colors - to fill vacant SCOTUS seats???

How about immigration and our jobs???

This seems more a propaganda hit piece for election day from Singer and his pal Ericson.

This is the exposing of the faux conservatives. The pundit class who wants to keep their own power and willing to bend over to keep that power.

a lawyer does no use on a battlefield.

Well.....It bothers me that Cruz is not a natural born citizen, claims to love the Constitution but is running for president anyway. How can that be “conservative”?

And I don’t believe David Limbaugh has accomplished anything other than being Rush’s brother.

And I could never support Cruz because he’s not eligible for the office. Minor detail for the Cruz Crew though.
