The Greatest Con Ever: Donald Trump Convincing Conservatives He’s Not a #RINO
Red State ^ | January 19th, 2016 | JD Rucker

Posted on 01/20/2016 12:55:16 PM PST by justlittleoleme

If any normal candidate had supported the Clintons, partial-birth abortion, Harry Reid, gay marriage, Nancy Pelosi, universal health care, and dozens of other liberal causes, they'd be laughed off the Republican ticket. Donald Trump is no ordinary candidate.

Republican In Name Only. Donald Trump is the paragon, the epitome of the phrase. He's conservative on immigration. On every other topic, he's moderate at best and often more liberal than even Hillary Clinton. He pulls his calls for tariffs straight out of Bernie Sanders' playbook. Why, then, are so many Republicans and likely a good number of conservatives supporting him?

The answer is simple: he's an incredible salesman. We're not talking about Don Draper in Mad Men. We're talking about the hard sale. It's the long con. We're talking about a man who has assumed a new identity in the guise of a Republican in order to achieve his greatest ambition: sitting in the Oval Office.

I'm not going to bore everyone with details of his extremely liberal past. Either you're already aware of it or you're a Trump apologist who does one of three things:

-Ignore the facts because Trump is going to make America great again.

-Suspend disbelief by falling for the idea that a hardcore Democrat for several decades saw the error in his ways just in time to get onto an easily manipulated ticket (more on that in a moment).

-Cover your ears, avert your eyes, and post memes on Facebook about Donald Trump's awesomeness, incredibleness, supermegacoolness, or whatever it is you have in those single-panel cartoons with small writing, all caps, bad font, and grammatical errors.

Let's assume that if you've read this far, you're either against Trump or you're an intelligent, open-minded Republican who supports Trump but who has started wondering if there's really something to all of this talk about him being a RINO.

Technically, he’s worse than a RINO. The idea he would be “tough” on immigration is a total farce.

Since Trump is the enemy of the Uniparty, the knives are coming out for him.

“The uniparty is over” when Trum is elected.

I doubt he'd spend the money or the logistical nightmares to deport them. It would kind of be a waste, just to bring them back.

Sure isn't a smart financial Business decision is it. Fact is he is blowing smoke up America's ass. I simply can't believe after decades in the dark ANY Conservative would consider the Mouth Of Manhattan in a republican Primary against a Conservative.

Just goes to prove, People only Hear and See what they want to. Facts be damned.
