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.

He’s a New York conservative. I can’t make sense of why some of the same people who vigorously opposed Giuliani are wholeheartedly supporting Trump, who is probably the closest candidate to Giuliani in terms of his values and politics we’ve had since then. They’re tough-talking, national security guys who treated their first wives’ badly and exhibited no particular interest in religious or moral issues. You can take the politician out of New York but you can’t take New York out of the politician.

Everyone’s definition of conservatism is different.

I’m view myself as a conservative, because I want to conserve America, her Constitution, and the freedom of her people.

Pretty simple definition.

So I guess Trump is the only “smart” conservative because he knew early on that Obama would hand it over to Iran.

So was he smart enough to know that there were no WMDs in Iraq? And if he thought there might be a few around, was he willing to risk Iraq handing them over to terrorists?
After all a smart Military loving guy would stay out of Iraq no matter what (because he is smart)
And early on he thought Obama was going to be a great President even though Obama promised (the very first thing) to sit down Gitmo.

Now he isn’t too happy with Obama but does Trump still admire his stance on Gitmo?

Does anyone here really listen to what this guy says?

His definition of a conservative is more like that of a conservative financial investor.

What's the difference? The former is how the latter is put into effect.
