See, I always thought FR was about principles and staying true to conservative ideas—not about excusing some johnny come lately to the party. You three seem to embrace the idea Trump has devoted monies in just the last year to die hard ENEMIES of conservative principles—even when the tide of the nation was turning against the liberals. We all know there are business interests that must be attended upon—and we also know there are reasons not to embrace someone who thinks of those interests above the good of their nation. We who hold that position are not “fools”. We’re patriots.

Its pretty obvious you have never been in business making a payroll. That my friend is a Patriot...

Well, my wife and I are in business to make a payroll, so that makes us Patriots. And we know better than to donate money to some politician who clearly has a track record of working against us and our business endeavors. Here in Virginia, we knew not to give a single dime to either Jim Webb or Mark Warner because we knew that both of them would simply tow the Dem line and vote in all sorts of legislation that would only hurt our business.

We were right. Both of those idiots have been nothing more than lap dogs for anyone with an anti-Conservative agenda. We knew this long before either of them took office.

I find it strange that Trump didn't have the same insight that we did and I find it hard to believe that anyone who claims to be a Conservative would donate to politicians who are clearly opposed to the Conservative philosophy.

Maybe if Trump came out and publically admitted that donating to hard-core leftists was a mistake and simultaneously advised all Conservative business owners/CEOs from making the same mistake that he did, then maybe I can take him a least a little more seriously.
