Rush is (correctly) responding to the idea that conservatives should not be supporting Trump just for his position and plan on illegal immigration and amnesty.
Trump is surprising ‘experts’ who would expect conservatives to demand a more purely conservative candidate
Im thinking as Rush is reflecting on this: Conservatism as Mark Levin says, is a way of life. It’s not an ideology.
They’re thinking conservatives will only vote for a guy who has a conservative past and who has an impeccable personal life. But conservatives are not ideological they are practical
They are crazy. They think conservatives are going to hold out for me perfect?
Romney was a leftist. I voted for him but he was a leftist. He’d have ushered in Hillary.
I won’t vote for any of the GOP s leftists again
Conservatives will certainly support someone who is not purely conservative but plans on taking care of this mess of a country
Even the catechism states that, while abortion is non negotiable,tgat if the only choices are pro abortion candidates the least harmful one is the one to support Staying home is worse
Just saying we will deport more than 11 million illegals without stating how reduces rhetoric to the level of the fanciful. How does one identify, locate, detain (where and how?) and then, including families with children and grandchildren, ship them off to over 20 different nations using jumbo jets and ships (assuming these nations will take them in the first place) and of course, despite a guaranteed rainfall of injunctions from the federal courts aided by media and local church congregations.
But somehow all other issues from affirmative action, to gay marriage, to unions, must all be swept under the rug.
This folks is not the stuff of serious contenders for the conservative republican mantle.
