Actually, I see it as the death of conservatism.
Trump will dump conservatives whenever public pressure and the media make it in his interest to do so.
Why anyone would vote for someone who in his heart is a NY leftist over a solid, but not perfect conservative like Cruz is beyond me.
The GOPe is watching, the only rebellion they fear is Cruz.
Trump? Well, as Jimmy Carter says, doesn’t really believe anything and is rather malleable!
Conservatives are going to stop being conservative? Well, perhaps some professional conservative phonies, er, pundits will quit, but not real conservatives.
“Trump will dump conservatives whenever public pressure and the media make it in his interest to do so.”
Because Trump has a habit of kowtowing to media pressure?
“Trump will dump conservatives whenever public pressure and the media make it in his interest to do so.”
You’re talking about like how Trump has already caved to the media and “public pressure” on the campaign trail, right? How he kowtows to all his big donors, right? Like how he calculates every word he says based on focus groups and whether the media loves him or not, right? Right?
“Trump will dump conservatives whenever public pressure and the media make it in his interest to do so.”
Yeah Trump caves to media pressure all the time. Come on, give us a break. Trump’s been a bulldozer with the media - the others are like mosquitos in comparison. Assertions like that should have at least a shred of truth in them.
Conservatism died a long time ago - no one cares. That battle is lost. At this moment in time conservatism is not the battle to pick, there are far more pressing problems to attack first, that if not won the loss will absolutely doom any chance of bringing conservatism back to life.
Have you seen this?
