We have a right to hate anyone we choose, including Trump and his slavish supporters.
Trump isn’t a Conservative and it is more than likely that most of his support is coming from old Wallace democrats, John Anderson moderate republicans, Ross Perot angry moderates, and Pat Buchanan Paleo-Isolationists.
Perot led to Bill Clinton. Will Trump lead to Hillary?
That pretty much says it all, doesn't it? If I were a journalist and write a column that a lot of people would read, I'd post your litany as an example.
Old Wallace democrats are dead or have alzheimer's by now. John Anderson? I would be surprised if many current voters even remember the man.
Now Perot and Buchanan you have something. I have always thought that Ross Perot made the mistake of not running in the Republican Primaries and had he done so, would have stood a good chance of beating George Bush. Republicans were mad at Bush for backing down on his "read my lips pledge",
Buchanan got smashed by the MSM for wearing a Cowboy hat and a gun in Arizona or some such if memory serves me correctly. He was beating Bush in the polls until the MSM and GOPe cut him down.
Now comes Trump. He's doing what Perot didn't do running in one of the main party's primaries. He's also got the added bonus that Perot doesn't in that there is no Republican President to run against. He has also the benefit of using alternative media to get his message out and he's mastered the MSM making it difficult for them to create their fake horse race scenario (they usually pump up different candidates at different times until the primaries start to dictate what the real story is).
Trump has garnered real Republican support because of his pledge to build a wall to stop illegal immigration. The Republican base knows this is crucial to having any chance of keeping Washington out of our lives and pocket books. He has proposed a general America First philosophy whether it comes to Security, Trade or other foreign policy. He is an "American Lives Matter" movement plain and simple.
Lastly as far as being a conservative all of the top polling candidates fall short of being conservative. Some more than others. As a Trump supporter and Reagan conservative he hits enough of the major issues that I am comfortable with him in the Oval Office. There is only one other candidate (that has a chance based on the polls) who is conservative enough for me to vote for and that is Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz does not have my support because of H1b visas, TPP, and I think he is very susceptible to being hurt by the press. The rest of the field is a disaster.
This is my uninformed Republican rank and file view.
