LOL, are you really this easy to manipulate? Trump's promises mean nothing. Trump's policy positions mean nothing. He has all but admitted he takes whatever position he needs to benefit himself at any particular moment in time. He is playing the caricature of a grass roots conservative because he sees an opening in doing so right now, at this moment in time. There is no telling what positions Trump would have if he weren't trying to con people into voting for him. Maybe he'd go back to his liberal positions of just a few years ago when he was busy fawning (and contributing) to Hillary Clinton and telling us all how well Obama would do in the White House?
Can you seriously not see that he will never keep to his current supposedly conservative positions? Those are the positions he takes when he wears his politician hat. Once Hillary is safely in the White House and Trump has flip flopped all over again to get in the good graces of the NY liberal establishment, he'll just claim (with typical Trump flair and bombast) that he had to take those conservative positions because it's what he needed to do to get votes - but now that he is back to being in real estate he puts on the new hat with all new positions.
“Trump’s promises mean nothing.”
As opposed to the Republican promises made before the last November elections. Those promises are being ever so carefully kept. And they will be so ever carefully kept if a RINO wins next year. Bank on it.

I agree with your assessment of Trump and the people who fall for his act. How soon they forget that he was attacking Republicans in 2012 for being anti-amnesty and donating to the Clinton foundation.
The trouble is, while I have no sympathy for Trump's candidacy, I have plenty of sympathy for those who want a third party alternative. The GOP keeps trying to scare us with "vote for our establishment candidates or else you'll get Hillary," which is a stupid threat when you realize that their candidates of choice agree with Hillary on more issues than they disagree.
Take immigration as an issue. The only GOP candidate who has been fairly consistently anti-amnesty is Cruz (though he's also been fairly mealy-mouthed about it), and he's not doing well in the polls, mainly because the conservative vote has been so splintered. That's why people who want something done about this issue are grasping at any straw they can find, even Trump.
If Trump STOPS talking conservative values, then I stop supporting him.
If other Republicans (Cruz excepted) START talking conservative values, then I might consider supporting them. Right now they seem MUCH MORE INTENT on attacking Trump and supporting Open Borders...it will not end well for them.
So my advice to your boss - PLEASE, please tell him it’s not Rush Limbaugh calling his office non-stop - in fact, its been 20 years since Rush told his listeners to light up the phones (and that was over Clinton’s tax increase). No, it’s the people that your guys call CRAZIES that are upset about Open Borders, and we can and will sink your boss and any other Open Borders Republican.
We tried it your way for 2008 and 2012...now it’s our turn, and Trump’s polling shows it.
