“Trump is a liberal but useful on the birther issue.”
THen you don’t know Trump. He is far more conservative than any RNC candidate so far.
No. He is a liberal buffoon. Anyone that preferred Kerry to bush is permanently disqualified as far as I am concerned. There is no rehabilitation possible. Let him keep up the birther attacks though. He is useful in that regard.
I think if you want to see how liberal or conservative folks are, you have to list out the issues and rate them issue by issue.
The problem comes when you have someone who is fiscally conservative, strong in military matters and yet they are libertarian on a bevy of social issues.
Very few folks are straight down the line conservatives.
