Electing “conservative” republicans is a crap shoot at best. We elected a Senator in Texas last year who claimed he is the 2nd most conservative Senator and would work tirelessly to stop Obama if republicans won the Senate. He is a Senate “leader”. He has done exactly nothing more than his democrat opponent would have done to stop Obama so far. I really can’t fault anybody for being disillusioned by the performance of “conservative” republicans and looking for an alternative. George W. Bush ran as a conservative. Look what he did once he got elected. Based on past performance, I don’t see how Trump would be worse than most “conservative” republicans.

Then support the liberal. But it cannot be denied that Donald J. Trump is a liberal and if you support him you are supporting a liberal.

Which is just more evidence that Trump's supporters like him because they like him. It's an emotional attraction not based on any facts or evidence. Very similar to how we got excited for Arnold Schwarzenegger in California. A lot of people like charismatic celebrities. Whether they will govern as a liberal or conservative doesn't seem to matter once you've fallen for their charms.
