And how did a Hillary voter 8 years ago become a Trump voter today. Did they “magically” come to a realization of what the true meaning of conservatism is or are they just voting for something they recognize (better liberalism).
Here’s a suggestion: Make your friend listen to a full week’s worth of Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, then ask them for their impression. If they hate their guts, then your friend is still no conservative and their vote does no good.
Two words: illegal immigration.
And by the way, you do have a point in your last post. From what I can see from my own experience, Trump is not turning any lefties into conservatives. But Trump is prying some iof those lefties away from the democratic base, at least for now. It's a start.
