I was happy to see Humphrey defeated but my first presidential election was in 1972. Nixon was a staunch anti-communist but he was no Conservative. In 1960 he sold out to the Eastern Republican Establishment and Nelson Rockefeller in the infamous Treaty of Fifth Avenue.

We will soon find out how many true conservatives support Trump or Cruz. If Trump’s support is heavily democrats and independents his poll numbers are being oversold.

Yes, Nixon was a virulent anti-Commie, which was and still is a VERY important thing to me. Also, I HATED and still do hate the hippies, yippies, etc. of that time. And Humphrey was just awful !

My first election was 1980. I voted for Reagan. I would like to take credit for that wisdom, but truth is the credit belongs to my dad. He drove me to the polls and told me who to vote for. LOL.

Just look at Trumps hard core support here; it's the CONSERVATIVES who support Trump. It's a LOT of FR's original/early members AND JR; people who know factual American and political history.

No GOPer can with with only those kinds of votes and trump is bringing in new blood, never voteds, disaffected/Reagan type Dems,blacks, whites, Hispanics, young, old, the middle aged, wealthy, poor, middle class, you name it...his supporters are it. Well, not the La Raza nor the BLM gimmedats, nor the snobby GOPEers...but you know what I mean.
