ANYTHING prior to 2011 is simply prior to his conversion to conservatism. It doesn’t apply.

I hope you are looking at the polls. Trump is blowing the competition away.

You realize that odds are very great right now that he will win.

Don't you mean 2016? After all in the very first debate of 2015 he talked about how well he thinks universal health care works. The opposite of the stance that produced the 2014 congressional landslides, and similar to the stance that produced the 2012 Romney flop. Many more examples of Trump talking acting liberal since 2011 have been reported. I'm happy to accept converts to conservatism, but I don't trust them to positions of great responsibility until their conversion has been proven by time and smaller responsibilities. For that matter, although the old saying goes "A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged by reality," where is the evidence Trump has ever been mugged by liberalism? In so far as I can tell he's done quite well under liberalism and has no personal experience, unlike many of his supporters, of the harm it causes.

Oh, I see. "conversion to conservatism"? He has said the exact same things - and more - since 2011 - indeed, during this very campaign (as are highlighted prominently in the video - did you even watch it or just comment?) - including attacking conservatives and what they stand for. How do you spin that?

Conversion to a form of Nationalism, maybe, but conservatism?

As a pastor you should be able to recognize a faux conversion.

I'm not going to base my vote on poll results.

That does not affect my opinion of Mr. Trump at all.
