I definitely agree with them. Trump is not now, never has been and never will be a conservative. I find him completely repulsive, somebody whose only value is “does it work for me,” and a wealthy political dilettante who can pay his own way and regards the whole thing as a game.

But the question these thinkers have to ask themselves is why a fruitloop like this is popular with people who supposedly identify as conservatives.

Leaving aside the fact that about 1/3 of the people who like Trump are Dems voting in open primary states, I think many of the others don’t know or care about conservatism. Small government? What’s that?

In other words, it’s not a conservative or even rational vote. People just know they’re unhappy and Trump, entertainer that he is, tapped into that. So they honestly don’t care about his program, conservatism or even lack thereof.

Totally rational, Trump is going to win 40 states and is by MILES the most conservative POTUS we’ll ever get. 100 million people don’t even work anymore. You want to die of a theory?
