I am a conservative and I support Trump. Is he as conservative as Cruz?No. The difference is I personally believe Trump is the best chance for taking the Presidency and helping turn the country around. I do not believe Cruz is strong enough to stand in the way of the GOPe and the Uniparty. Trump is more socially liberal than I but he is very much a conservative on my key issues. He is strong on economic and national security. He will secure our borders better than any other candidate. He has the knowledge to restart our economy in something other than name. The rest of the remaining candidates (except Carson) are nothing really but lawyers and politicians. They do not get creating jobs and wealth.
Lie food, clothing and shelter the above represent my basic needs for a President. We can deal with the social issues if we have those items addressed.
I think what a lot of people, like me, who have been conservatives all our lives, are asking is “What has conservatism done for me lately?” So-called conservatives have gone along with both Bush and Obama to raise the debt to staggering levels; they half-assed fought a war while apologizing to Muslims; they did nothing to stop Obama for four years.
Someone else said when Rubio or Cruz said they did things to stop Obama, the question needs to be asked, “But did you win?” We need to win. I don’t care if Trump isn’t as “conservative” as Cruz-—I guess we won’t know that until he actually wins, though. Because with Cruz we have no way of proving that he, like all the other GOP guys, can actually DO anything. I’m willing to try a businessman and forget ideology for a minute.
