A conservative in this country is a person who stands by what the Framers wrote and meant in the Constitution. All I hear from Trump supports everything our Framers stood for. I never once heard Trump deny ANY thing they stood for. I do believe he is on point about every original Amendment. Modern Amendments such as the 14th are bothersome and that is why he so strongly opposes anchor babies.
I would like to hear specifics from Trump. Is that possible?
How much does he really know about the Constitution?
It is one thing to say that he supports everything, it is another thing to detail the support.
OK— good definition. Now we conservatives should realize how our “institutional” leaders have lost the moral high ground, for example the spinning of the “14th Amendment” wording to say if one is born here you instantly become a citizen.
That is, and agree with you— simply NOT in the Amendment. The Amendment was directed at former slaves being emancipated. But for libs to pick this to mean ANYONE born here, from foreign parent visitors etc....and for supposed Republican “conservatives” (basking in their Lincolnian glory of “winning” the Civil War to impart Radical Republican agenda in this Amendment and Reconstruction)to agree with them is criminal.
A principled conservative who is a leader and not authoritarian would be a rare thing to find indeed. It is the authoritarianism that people dislike. In obamaumao it is marxist fascist dictatorship and malignant narcisissm. Our stupid electorate will jump on the next swing of the pendulum, contrived as conservatism. And Hillary would be a disaster of corruption and filthy perversion.
Leave you with an Orwell quote: “The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.”
