The Trump fans have established a litmus test of “if you don’t support Trump, then you’re a RINO, GOPe, not a conservative, etc.”
Let’s follow this faulty logic:
Trump says things you like. So Trump is great.
Anyone who doesn’t agree with Trump isn’t great.
Trump has been on both sides of almost every issue you claim to love.
Therefore, Trump himself fails the Trump litmus test.
We’re being silly. Coburn is conservative. Cruz is conservative. Rubio is conservative. None of them are perfect, but please keep your eyes on the actual goal. If a democrat is elected, the Supreme Court is gone. If Trump, Cruz, or Rubio is elected, the Supreme Court is not lost for a generation.
You can advocate for Trump. You can advocate for Cruz. You can advocate for Rubio. They’re all better than Bernie. They’re all better than Hillary.
Many people who are good conservatives have genuine fears that Trump is NOT. They also have genuine fears that Trump could say or do something that could fumble away this election.
We can debate those points without saying Rubio or Cruz are establishment, or that they’re not conservatives. Stick to the issues and stop the name calling.
you didn't see me calling anyone names.
They also have genuine fears that Trump could say or do something that could fumble away this election.
like Todd Akin or Richard Mourdock for example?
