Not a conservative? Surely you jest
1. Trumps immigration stance is a defense of the Constitution. He is right you do not have a nation without borders and you do not have a nation without laws. Deciding who is a US citizen is the most foundational of Constitutional issues. Trump is a conservative on this issue
2. Trump’s stance on taxes is not only conservative but in line with with the aims of limited government. Do want to see a big - high tax solution try a VAT tax like in Europe. Who is proposing that? Ted Cruz. His tax plan would require huge cuts in government programs. That is a conservative position.
The inclusion of a VAT in the tax plan Cruz put forward should disqualify him as a conservative candidate if you are a small government conservative, period, full stop, if you disagree with that statement you are at best a fool.
3. The right to bear arms? Trump has proposed a national Concealed Carry which would in one swoop overwrite hundreds of un-Constitutional State laws. Trump is the only one to propose this CONSERVATIVE issue.
And BTW before you start talking about “He wants to ban assault weapons” look at his definition. Don’t believe the hype put out by liars for other candidates.
4. Trump was born in the US not Canada. If Cruz had used his status to hammer the Demodogs and their illegal candidate - Obama I could have gotten past this. He hasn’t done that. His snide reply to the issue was condescending. Better a vulgar damn Yankee from New York than a Canadian who moved to Texas. The demodogs would tear Cruz apart on this issue.
5. Carnival barker? really? Politically Correct speech codes are as big an evil as abortion, as big as illegal immigration, as big as the national debit. If you do not realize this you are simply ignorant of the damage caused by allowing the left to control the vocabulary. Trump’s profanity is part of tearing that down. The left likes to swear at conservatives but don’t like to be sworn at. Trump is the only one running on this conservative issue. The left hide behind public politeness.
6. Reforming the VA. One of the foremost Constitutional prerogatives is national defense. By extrapolation taking care of veterans is a very Constitutional issue. Trump is the only one doing this.
I’m sorry. I started out as Cruz supporter but can no longer be one due to his leftist positions on Taxes, his Canadian citizenship and his refusal to take on the PC codes.

YES!! Political correctness is a WMD of progressives. If you cannot speak without risking consequences (on the job, for example) you are not free.
Being polite at all times while stabbing political opponents in the back is a core tenet of Fabian socialism.
Trump is telling people by his actions. To sit around and never say a word like “Pussy” in public, or never call for the ban on Muslims, would be less than worthless. Such cowardice would be capitulating to the very thing you are fighting against.
