Fortunately, I made up my own mind about him.

He may not be a “conservative” however you define that term. He is however an optimistic American who is patriotic and conservative enough for me. His support is broad and deep and he will win.

So he can expand the government, bury us in taxes, and flood the country with illegals? No sale.

Well, that's a reasonable analysis. I think it's flawed, but it is at least reasonable. Now the flaws? Mainly, that he is no conservative with how that term is properly defined....ie....limited government and maximum liberty and love and respect for the Constitution and the belief in the American people, NOT AN AMERICAN NEGOTIATOR HERO. He just isn't. It's not "my" definition or any other person's definition...it is what conservatism is.

The other thing that will come back to bite you...is that at some point...he is going to demonstrate in a way that even you can't overcome that he is NOT conservative enough. It may be today. It may be part of this 9-11 thing. It may be in a debate. Or hell, it may not be until he's gotten the nomination, or even own the White House. But mark my words, at some point, his liberalism is going to boomerang bigtime on all his conservative supporters.

Having said that, I think he's a patriot, altho I think he's more about Trump than America, but I won't quibble. I agree that his support is broad and deep. He may win.
