Good article.

However, given the volume of Trumpeteers even here at FreeRepublic, I would redo the article's title: "Do Republicans Conservatives Even Care What Conservatism Is Anymore?"

I probably don't. Other than Ted Cruz (who is my first choice), and possibly Scott Walker, conservatism is something people usually pretend to be when they want to get elected...only to be abandoned later.

Agreed. The guy has backtracked on about every thing he said previously to run.

There’s been a whole boatload of Republicans who begged for our vote claiming they were conservatives. Last year’s Congressional races come to mind.

When we gave them the vote and they won, how did their “conservatism” work?

1. Wouldn’t vote to end Obamacare, like they said they would.

2. Wouldn’t stop Amnesty, like they said they would. Lucky for us, the Courts did (for now).

3. APPROVED Obama’s secret trade deal.

4. GAVE UP their Constitutional duties in the Senate to approve treaties. Now they can only vote them down—IF they have 60 votes for cloture.

5. Pulled the rug out from many true conservatives for opposing the above—took their seats from their committees to show them and us they have the whip hand—”Thank you for last year’s vote, suckers!”

Maybe people are looking at Trump and saying, well, he’s never been a conservative, but now says he is. AND the liars that just stabbed us in the back hate him, so...

How can voting for Trump be worse than the Betrayal of 2014?
