now share with me what Trumps ‘done’ as evidence he’s a conservative and has stood and fought for the principles and issues he now claims as his own.


caww, how about we let the boss share with you ‘evidence’ that Trump is conservative....and (that he) has ‘stood and fought for’...

JimRob explains Trump’s conservatism much more eloquently than I can....

Trump wants to secure the borders, enforce the law, end anchor babies, end sanctuary cities, build a wall, deport them all, secure the borders, secure the nation, including sending the refugees back!

No one is better at border security, national security than Trump.

Sounds pretty damn conservative to me.

Want to talk about cutting taxes, cutting spending, cutting regulations, cutting government, cutting cronyism, cutting corruption, growing the economy, putting our people back to work, making America great again?

Trump does. And he sounds pretty damn conservative to me.

Want to defend God, family, guns, country? Want to build the greatest military ever so no one dares mess with us?

Trump does. And he sounds pretty damn conservative to me.

Want to build a coalition including conservatives, capitalists, blue collar workers, veterans, gun owners, religious people, minorities, freedom-loving Americans of every stripe?

Trump does. And he’s doing it. And that sounds pretty damn conservative to me!

Reagan Revolution meet the Trump Revolution.

If one is going to vote against the GOP then why not vote for one who has a steady and solid record of ‘doing’ so rather than risk one who has a Democratic history up until just prior to proclaiming he’s running???

********

Actually, Trump didn’t become a Republican just prior to running for President....he’s been one for a while, now. You may be thinking of Ben Carson, who did switch, just before announcing.

Trump has also been a YUGE supporter of the Tea Party, as far back as 2011. He even writes about the Tea Party in his 2011 book. He also met with a NY FReeper, who headed up a TP chapter, back in 2011...where he again expressed his admiration for the Tea Party.

So, I think that pretty much solidifies Trump’s ‘conservative creds’....JimRob and the Tea Party...doesn’t get much more conservative than that!

It's still talk Jane.....what has he "done" to show he's conservative in his history?.....What Trump says he "wants" only convienlently aligns him with conservatives...it does not give us a history of Trump walking in those shoes, only that he's seeing how they fit now that he's running.

Let's recall that in 2012 he was saying Mitt Romney was “too mean” on the issue of immigration....Also we know he has supported an assault weapons ban, abortion, gay marriage, amnesty and Hillary Clinton in the not distant past...and He STILL supports raising taxes, eminent domain, and legalization of narcotics, not to mention He's on record as saying we must have universal healthcare...... Those are very liberal things last I checked...

Additionally Trump has now an established pattern when called on what he says.......and many of his supporters follow suite...so he's predictable at this point in his campaign....this is what it sounds and looks like:

...Trump says or tweets or re-tweets something that could be perceived as an outrageous thing. (Keep the media engaged)

....As follow up...Dominate the next news cycle. (face time good or bad)

....Then attack the media that focus on the outrageous statement...or/and in certain cases an individual. (Blame someone else)

....Followed by Backtracking and making claims of being misinterpreted and how "unfair" he's being treated to garner public sympathy. ( a form of manipulation).

....Sustain polling advantage. (He needs to 'feel' he's winning)

Frankly those tactics 'sound' and 'look' pretty liberal to me...as does his history.
