No offense but you haven’t a clue.

No offense but you haven’t a clue.

i think i have more of a clue than you do. Trump has a long history of embarrassing personal life escapades. those will come up in the general election. he's worked with the mob on his casinos, he tried to have an old lady evicted from her home by eminent domain so he could build a parking lot, he started life with a million dollars worth of slum rentals given to him by his father (yes, Trump was a slumlord), he quit the republican party in 1999 claiming that the party was "too crazy right", etc.

the same sort of mass hysteria that swept up the democRATS and made them support Obama in 2008 is now affecting lots and lots of conservatives about Trump. Trump has held literally every position on every issue at one time or another... so instead of listening to what he says, people seem to just be cherry picking the positions they agree with from the time they agreed with him. on day he's pro abortion, then next he's not. one day he favors a wealth tax, the next he doesn't. one day he's pro gay marriage, the next he isn't. he's all over the map. do you honestly think the democRATS and MSM won't bring all of this up during the general election?

Trump serves a useful purpose now, but he will be a disaster if he's the nominee. i'm not anti_Trump, but i can recognize a snake oil salesman when i see one. i've followed (at a distance) Trump's antics for the better part of the past 30 years. i know who he is. he's NOT a conservative. he might not be a liberal either, but he's not conservative.

and don't make a mistake, i'm not making that dumb GOPe "electability" argument. i could care less about RINOs who are supposed to be more electable. i care about conservatives. i care about running real adult campaigns about the issues. we need candidates who can articulate what we believe in and persuade those on the other side to join the fight. Trump makes for good soundbites for TMZ. that's about it.

all i'm saying is that people need to be 100% sure they won't have buyer's remorse when they support Trump over Cruz or Walker or somebody a bit more serious about the job of the presidency.
