"You say that trump panders to conservatives. Are not the rest doing the very same thing?"

Valid question. It appears to me that Trump is playing a caricature of a conservative. He says what we all want to hear, but how does one know what his core beliefs are? We certainly cannot make any conclusions given his long history of "switching sides", being a Democrat and Clinton supporter as recently as 2009. Trump is a shrewd man with a goal, and it is not out of the realm of possibility that his new found conservatism is not genuine. I myself was fooled by Rubio when he was first elected. Ted Cruz, on the other hand, has maintained his integrity and has fought for the conservative principles that he pledged to when he was elected.
