Yeah right. Trump will win the general election without conservatives? Not possible. Even Trump knows this.
Elections are numbers-driven, as we’re all very familiar with. The quality of votes don’t matter as much as the volume and legality of votes. I’d say that it’s short-sighted to toss away a large number of potential allies. No one’s suggesting that anyone bend the knee, in any direction... or they shouldn’t if they are. Let’s get our heads straight and keep the Constitution intact, hmm?
As you said, CFC, that includes any conservatives who are not on board right now.
Not only doesn't he need them, he doesn't want them, and has said so.
Most politicians kowtow to every little segment saying 'I need your support, please support me, what can I do to get your support?'.
Trump is saying 'Here is my agenda, if you like it or can live with it, come on board, otherwise I don't need you.'
'Criticize it and me from the outside'.
Now you can decide for yourself, but he's not coming to run after you for your support.
It's an admirable stand, one which only a confident politician would take.
That's why you've never been confronted with this choice before.
