In what universe is trump a conservative ?
How many “conservatives” have said this?
Not a conservative; however, if he shuts the border, smashes ISIS and makes decisions IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF AMERICANS, what can be wrong with that?
Pro-choice, very pro 2nd Amendment, lower taxes, border security, pro Israel, anti-ISIS, etc.
In what world would that not be conservative?
Idiocy of splitting hairs like this would cost people like Reagan the presidency. Gee, he was divorced, he was once a Democrat...
If you'd take the blinders off, you'll find Trump has a long, pretty consistent conservative record.
Quote:
“In what universe is trump a conservative ?”
Mine. Trump has redefined “conservative” to mean:
“Someone who, unlike the self-described “conservatives” who inhabit the Congress, run “conservative Media,” and the so-called “conservative” punditry, possesses the courage to stand up for traditional American values, who loves the American people, is willing to carry the fight to the domestic enemies of liberty, forthrightly declares his support for American sovereignty and controlled borders, and puts his own money where his mouth is.”
Trump is my kind of conservative.
In this universe.Name another republican that has the stones to even mention the word impeachment. You people make me laugh.
Trump is changing the dynamic.
My thought as well.
I get a kick out of many who proclaim Trump is not a conservative. So why are these people powerless to elect a ^true conservative^ as president?
What exactly have the ^true conservatives^ in congress accomplished?
Obamacare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Anchor babies outlawed?
National debt reduced?
Abortion restricted?
China trade deficit reduced?
Food stamp growth curbed?
Welfare growth reduced?
If Trump can deliver any 3 of above, he is more than enough conservative for most rational people.

Go Trump!!!
Since Trump is hawking Reagan’s platform, perhaps the better question would be, in what universe was Reagan not a Conservative?
With his position papers on the 2nd amendment and taxes - in what universe is he not a conservative?
-— In what universe is trump a conservative ? -—
Dunno, but he said that Obama is worthy of impeachment. So there’s that. Apparently the subject has never been mentioned before.
But he continued, saying that hearings would only make him a martyr.
This is supposed to make him some kind of uber-genius, even though it has been the GOPe line since 2009.
