Rush keeps saying that Trump is not conservative in any way. Where’s the evidence of that? If border control, 2nd Amendment, strong military, etc is not conservative, what is?

This meme was started by Levin, Beck and other purists. Acording to them the litmus test is

  1. Spout Reaganisms as much as you can
  2. Put your head in the sand and think free trade with corrupt regimes and countries is possible. Just let "Markets" dictate.
  3. Deify corporations and think they always have our best interests at heart
  4. Get your panties in a knot over every single cultural issue. Prioritizing is not allowed, it all starts with opposing Gay marriage and rolling back Roe v. Wade.
  5. Like the Left, compromise is paninted with a broad brush of "selling out your principals". Even Jesus told that us blessed are the peacemakers...

Look, I like Trump. I predicted last July that he would likely “shoot the moon”, and now he has. I voted for him, and will vote for him in November. That said, although he is conservative on the issues you mentioned, he is not conservative on other important issues... and I’m ok with that. I don’t want to lose with a rigid ideologue.

All in all, I think Rush has boosted Trump, and certainly been very fair to him.
