Could go on, but you get the gist. If you don’t support these things, you are now an establishment stooge hoodwinked by or working for the GOPe.

Yes, I have gathered that. I don't support Trump because he is a lifelong liberal so that means, according to those willing to overlook his liberalism, that I support another liberal like Bush. It is strange thinking to be sure, but so is supporting a liberal for the GOP nomination, and that seems to be rampant around here.

Oh yes, raise any issue about "the Donald's" past (recent) liberalism and support of Democrats and you'll be hit by the Trumpster mob as being a Jeb supporting GOPe RINO. No matter that you could obviously be supporting Cruz, your still a GOPe RINO Jeb lover. The Trumpster brigades are almost as bad as the paulbots of last cycle.

It's quite sad to watch because you expect this sort of thing from the left - from Sander's followers this time around or the Obama drones in 2008. One thing is clear, many on the right are really more populist protectionist than conservative. And just like many on the left, too many on the right seem to be supporting the politician more than his policies - almost to the point that it doesn't matter what Trump says at all. The man has a very liberal record from policy positions to leftists he has supported, and Trumpsters seem unwilling to cast a critical eye at that pisspoor record.

Trump is NOT a conservative. Trump is not grounded in conservative thought or ideology. And if elected President, it's a pretty good bet that he won't govern as a conservative either.
