Why don’t the writers at Redstate ask the same question of the supporters of the other GOP candidates?
Why?
Why not? ,p>For part of the field, the answer would be "to start supporting Tea party causes", because they aren't Conservatives, just Republicans.
I don't support that lot, anyway.
I think we all can agree on fundamental deal-breakers. They include:
Any anti-gun agenda.
Any failure to secure the border and deal with illegal immigrants and illegal immigration.
Failure to at least state credible intent to remove the penalty clauses and Obamacare in general.
Failure to rein in or abolish the EPA and other regulatory agencies which unnecessarily impede economic development and trade.
Failure to address the odious tax system.
Failure to secure property Rights.
Failure to support our traditional allies.
Failure to support rules of engagement for our troops which do not unnecessarily place them in harms' way and which permit them to successfully engage the enemy.
Failure to stand up for the religious Rights of Christians in the US.
Failure to credibly state intent to overturn the Iran deal and make future negotiations on the behalf of the United States which benefit the United States.
Failure to call out the press for nonsensical attacks on America and Americans.
Failure to address the corruption and sedition in the DOJ, DHS, CIA, State Department, and other Federal Agencies.
Failure to roll back the use of the NSA against American citizens without a warrant.
There are many items not listed here. Deal-breakers are the sort of thing often best described by "you will know them when you see them", but anything which flies in the face of fundamental Rights can readily qualify.
And the question should be asked of anyone who supports a particular candidate.
Just remember that those who support specific candidates often do so because the candidate takes similar positions on issues. So the 'deal breakers' can vary from person to person.
The more moderate the candidate, the more likely the deal breakers for that candidate's supporters will incorporate items Conservatives see as desirable.
