Andrea's article isn't saying vote for Trump, it's an admission that the failure of the GOPe to defend true Conservatism is what has created the "monster" Trump.
Haven't you noticed that the argument given by the elites is that the R's will never win another election and that their power will end? With the exception of Beck (who is an elite, but not a Republican elite), there are no Republican power brokers talking about saving American values. It,s always power, power, power.
I wasn’t responding to the article but to some Trump supporter who was whining about-I-forget-and-don’t-care-what.
I have Trump fatigue. I am worn out by his nonsense and the idiocy of his insane uninformed duped ridiculous supporters.
They are here at FR and some are long time FReepers!! I’m numb.
Please define "true Conservativism".

What's the position of "true Conservatives" on whether or not Arab Sunni Muslims (who live in Arabia) should be permitted to practice Shariah and to govern themselves as they wish?

What's the position of "true Conservatives" on whether or not to pay for medical care of people over 65 without a dollar limit, driven only by need and possible benefit? What's the position of "true Conservatives" about how to raise the trillions of dollars in government revenue to pay for that?
