Please note my tagline applies as much to Republicans and Conservatives as it does to Democrats and the Media. There is an upside, but a downside as well, to electing someone who has no real political roots or core philosophy. Donald Trump is a pragmatist and nationalist who most enjoys winning, at everything. We didn't nominate and elect Barry Goldwater or even another former Liberal Democrat named Ronald Reagan.

Trump may at some point realize that the FC saved him from walking off a political cliff, but for now the sting and embarrassment of losing is still too sharp for that. And one thing that was clear in the primaries, whatever his fine points (and they're many) Donald Trump is not gracious when he loses.

This unfortunately is exactly the situation we are in. Trump is a nationalist and that goes a long way in garnering my support - but I don't expect him to see what is painfully obvious to me and other conservatives, namely that we have a federal government that is operating WAY out of the bounds set for it by the Constitution. Obamacare was and is clearly unconstitutional and needs to be repealed FIRST. Support for a modified Obamacare is support for unconstitutional actions by the federal government. No good will ever come from that.

Return to constitutional governance FIRST, then we can look into legislative fixes for the problems brought about by allowing the federal beast to break its bonds.
