I am a committed Conservative. Check my history of Free Republic posts. I have been a consistently conservative Freeper for almost 16 years (I was a lurker for a couple of years before that). When I was in college, I had the honor of actively supporting and campaigning for Ronald Reagan for President, both in 1980 and 1984. It has been all downhill since then.

I am also one of the roughly 60 to 70% of Republican voters (depending on the poll) who do not currently support Trump. For Trump to win the nomination he is going to have to win over some of us. For Trump to then beat Hillary he is going to have to convince nearly all of us to actively and enthusiastically support his campaign.

I have an open mind on Trump. Moreover, if Trump is going to be the Republican nominee I desperately want to believe that he is a conservative. If we don't elect a conservative President next year then I don't see any way that our nation can come back.

Four Supreme Court Justices (one conservative, one moderate, and two far left wing liberals) will be over 80 years old next year. Two of the remaining five Justices are young far left-wing liberals appointed by Obama. If even three of the four octogenarian Justices are replaced with young liberals then a far left-wing oligarchy will be ruling the Court and every aspect of our lives for the next 30 years.

So all of you Trump supporters, don't attack us non-believers, convince us. I honestly have seen nothing of Trump's record before the current campaign to suggest that he is any more conservative than Michael Bloomberg (another New York billionaire who ran for office as a Republican). Why do you believe that Trump is a conservative and not just a very gifted salesman who knows how to tell his audience what they want to hear?

Well his sister was a colleague with an almost identicle record of Sam Alito she spoke for him at his confirmation hearing. Trumo is very close to her.
When asked his favorite jurist he did not say his sister or Alito but mentioned Scalio and settled on Thomas. He took Roberts to task over his obamacare decision.
What else do you need to know?
His daughter is headed to law school and very close to her aunt she admires as a roll model.
