Wow, his definition of conservative is balanced budgets and supporting the military. He completely missed all of the social issues or any sense of smaller government or Constitutionalism.
Sorry. Incoherent.
Read it. Pretty much.
So....this is him completely admitting he’s not conservative.
Never once did he define conservatism as he never uttered smaller, less intrusive government to prevent infringement of liberty.
So he's not a Conservative but no matter, Trump supporters care about the art of the deal, not principles.
He takes flagrantly contradictory positions:
He says take the oil and the Iraq war was wrong.
Pretending that Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq is the same as supporting the war in Iraq is painfully disingenuous.
In order to “take the oil” we would have to have a credible and strong military presence— beyond the 14,000 troops currently deployed in our “withdrawal” from iraq.
The Donald is allowed to take contradictory positions because his followers refuse to follow reason.
I think I will support Trump over Hillary if that is all that is available, but I would love to have Cruz waiting tor run against Trump in 2020 once it is clear that he is a liberal authoritarian who hates conservatives.
I don’t believe trump at all but I can tell from these threads that facts don’t matter. People are mad and they are going to vote for what they think sends the ‘craziest’ signal.
I think we could have stayed in Iraq— just as we stay in Korea— stay in Japan— in order to win and prove that Islamic supremacism is as bad as communism or any other violent ideology the world has to offer.
I still think Cruz can win— especially in Iowa and South Carolina— but it is frustrating how unmoved trump supporters are to his clear anti-conservative positions.
I possibly misread it as the conversation is very difficult to make out but I thought he was saying conservatives don’t like to take risks but he’s a big risk taker.
Welfare recipients don’t want to take risks.
Freedom is risky.
Here is an idea: make the entire metropolitan area of NYC a new federal district, say District of Hudson. . . .
“Doesn’t want to take risks” perfectly exemplifies both liberals and a lot of conservatives. Group think and insurance against every possibility of harm from cradle to grave was never the American way until the Dems brain washed our citizens.
Watch out, there are those who consider posting Trump quotes hit pieces.
Is Donald Trump able to carry on a coherent dissertation? This man rambles and wanders and, yet, the masses are mesmerized.
I guess it’s just me...
That’s almost as lucid and coherent as my mother-in-law was at 95.
She used to talk a lot about picking blueberries in the woods.
A conservative investor does not like risk and goes for safer, but less lucrative returns.
Conservative can mean many things.
Trump may not be philosophically conservative, but he is phliosophically American.
After what we have experienced these last two years, I’m not surprised at the response.
People want the illegal alien inundation stopped and Trump made that his signature issue. Nobody else wanted to talk about deportation.
The elected only talked about accomodating those breaking the laws.
I did. I had heard he doesn't drink.
You also have to remember that Trump is talking to the broader populace, not just self-identified conservatives. This kind of non in-depth, but common sense description of conservatism serves a positive purpose in that it helps to blunt some of the negative myths about conservatives that have become widely accepted in society at large.
The Democrat sitting on the fence that likes a lot of what Trump is saying but has grown up hearing how evil conservatives are, is being told by Trump that it’s not what everybody’s lead you to believe. It’s basically common sense and being responsible. That’s a pretty good first pass definition for someone who is unfamiliar with the more in depth philosophical roots of conservatism.
Typical Trump gibberish.
And the Jeopardy question: “What is a confused NY liberal’s view of conservatism?
