> “There is also ample proof that Trump has a history of leaning moderate to left. But you can skip it if you choose.”

Ronald Reagan campaigned for democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas in her 1950 Senate race against Richard Nixon and encouraged Dwight D. Eisenhower to run for President as a Democrat in 1952.

But that’s Ok, you can just skip the facts as you choose but it doesn’t mean you won’t catch hell for it.

Donald Trump never campaigned for a democrat or a republican.

The only campaign he’s been actively involved in has been his own, For his own campaign he’s chosen to run as a conservative, and has as a result taken more incoming flak than any candidate in history.

By the time Ronald Reagan ran for President he had served two terms as a conservative governor of California and delivered “A Time for Choosing” in support of Barry Goldwater.

Trump, who has not even been a registered Republican in either of the last two Presidential election years and was a registered Democrat as recently as 2008, described himself as Obama’s “biggest fan” when he was elected.

To use your line, “you can just skip the facts as you choose but it doesn’t mean you won’t catch hell for it.”

Trump does not deserve the support of conservatives simply because he says he’s one. It’s really just that simple.

He hasn’t taken any flak. So far he has had it remarkably easy.
