Trump is not a conservative - the only naïve conservatives are those that support him. Kelo v. Connecticut, Planned Parenthood funding, 'universal' healthcare, praise for single payer systems, Obama's stimulus, TARP, etc. are not conservative positions, nor is lecturing "you conservatives" we're "just going to have to get used to it" when it comes to "taking care of everyone." Now, there is no perfect candidate, but all of those whoppers and more, collectively in one candidate, is certainly far from being a conservative.
Trump’s not perfect. I fully agree.
But he can get stuff done and he has a long record of leading toward big things.
Cruz needs a few more years to get hair on his chest. He’s not equipped yet to be the leader.
8 years as VP under Trump would do him a lot of good.
