...”I find it disturbing that so many who call themselves conservative would throw their support behind lifelong liberal Donald Trump”...
Most are doing so with one eye open...they aren’t fools. And that’s just wise to do with any candidate that leans too far or flips. Most do, or it “appears” they do depending on how the media chooses to slant it.
Media leans on every word politicians speak so they can ‘make a story’ which requires a response from a candidate...thus carrying the “news” from one day to the next til it’s milked out. It “pays” to keep the pundits in their jobs.
I wish I could agree with yo my FRiend. But from what I have witnessed the past few weeks, I'd have to say I do not. They are 100% in the tank for this lifelong liberal and vehemently attack most who dare to question his motives. It has been strange to watch.
