He did not buy a failed movement. He ignored all the Ideology and Philosophies and moves us toward practical politics and solutions.

Being conservative means you're ideologically and philosophically aligned with the Founders. The constitution is an ideology and a philosophy, put in PRACTICAL POLITICAL terms, and IS THE SOLUTION. Not your messiah.

Not all of us are going to join the Trumpeteers and become liberal democrats under a new title. I don’t know what banner the Trump movement will end up with, Republican or Conservative, but I won’t be under it. I suspect he’ll gravitate back to the democrats, especially if he doesn’t get the Republican nomination. For years I’ve viewed the Republican party as the path to election for Conservatives. We may end up with a viable Conservative third or fourth party after this debacle.

There has never been one Conservative movement. The idea is pure fallacy. Why? Because we all have different priorities, and do not always--much to my personal sorrow--work together as we should, if we would really try to turn America back to her roots.

For my admittedly inadequate effort to be a peace maker between warring factions: Support For Trump & Cruz.

Trump is more Conservative, instinctively, than most of those who claim to be in the "Conservative Movement." He is admittedly new to the activist phase, and makes some mistakes in explaining his position. But the man is actually very Conservative in his basic orientation. Give him a little time to work out the inconsistencies.
