I think he will conserve a lot of things. I think others are beyond conservation. What he will not do is start out from an ideology in order to move forward.

Nonsense. He is ideologically left of center, and if he gets the nomination, that is precisely the direction he will move.

He appears to be an ENTP and a trail blazer. He will develop an initial strategy and refine it as he goes.

How convenient. So not only can he change the promises he gave, but he can move in any direction he wants with no thought of governance...

I know that’s scary.

No, what is scary is how many people buy his shtick without a single thing but election year promises to back it up. What's scary is the insane hero worship that causes people to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Literally true that nothing will dissuade them. No policy change, no flip-flop, no hard core proven evidence. Y'all are flying blind, without gauges.

So if he gets the nom, the smartest patriots need to find their way to him. I personally am building my path. You?

I am a principled Conservative, leaning Christian Right. There is not a single thing on this earth that will cause me to vote for this man. Lost me at casinos and strip clubs, not to mention a thousand other red flags. He is of such an appalling character that I wouldn't trust him as dogcatcher. Not to mention his leftward ideology. If I could be convinced he was of reasonable character, I still don't vote for liberals. Not a chance in hell.

But you are welcome to try:

Convince me by his record that he embraces the unmovable principle things of each of the conservative factions.
Financial conservatives
Social conservatives
Defense conservatives
Civil-libertarian conservatives.

Show me his conservative stripes according to their principles, so that I might trust him, and you can have my vote.

But that ain't gonna happen, and I think you know it. There isn't a single conservative thing about him.

Such a pity that we here, who are here for the purpose of supporting and defending the principles of Conservatism, have so lost sight of the very thing we are here to do.

Liberalism is not Conservatism.
