Trump’s platform was more Conservative than Reagan’s, and you agree that there wasn’t a Conservative on the ballot.
LOL

Trump proposes cutting corporate taxes and regulations. he also proposed protective tariffs to promote domestic industry. Nothing liberal or leftist about that.
OTH Free Trade and open borders are Marxist philosophies.

But with regard to tariffs, if you look at American history, depending on the era and the product, I think both conservatives and leftists have been both for and against, so that's kind of a gray area as to whether you would call it conservative or "liberal."

So true; I’m thrilled Trump won but I know this was a very close election. There are MASSES of people like those in your pic.
FRegards!

Trump’s platform was more Conservative than Reagan’s...I disagree on that, but please give me some specifics that support your case.
The important thing is that Trump distinguished himself enough from HRC (and also from McCain in '08 and Romney in '12) to eke out the win, not as much as a conservative but as a populist. (Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that he did win nonetheless.)
But to say Trump was more conservative in his campaign than Reagan was when Reagan won by 10 percentage points and won all but about 6 states vs. Carter in 1980, just doesn't work.

Completely close the Department of Education.
Agree...shut down the Dem Indoctrination Agency.

I quite agree. With the 2008 election there were numerous articles regarding the total Republican collapse. It was a possibility with the past Republican leaders that were in control.
Perhaps Trump will build on his election...his first six months will certainly give us a window on the Republican future.

[Trump campaigned] not as much as a conservative but as a populist Populist is a virtually meaningless word. What politician says he favors the ruling elite over the common man?

Let’s hope so; there is an opportunity to peel off Dem constituents that other Republicans were unable to attract.
