The mistake made in some of the assumptions is that “Republican” and “Conservative” are always the same, or that people support Trump because he is one or the other or both.
Trump won a LOT of independent voters. Many of these people are not cultural conservatives or concerned with returning America to some previous ethos or golden era, they are about stopping stupid/suicidal trade and immigration policies.
Sessions is doing a good job on immigration and some aspects of fraud, but his marijuana, civil asset forfeiture and private prison positions are long term losers for the Republican party; most people think cannabis is a state’s rights issue and anyone who supports civil asset forfeiture has their head up their butt so far I consider them no countryman of mine, nor are private prisons a good idea when the same people running them can subsequently lobby politicians to keep the maximum number of things illegal.
I’m voting for you next time. Seriously.
