It’s quite obvious that Trump and his supporters are not conservative...Donald wouldn’t know a conservative if one fell on him:

“Well, I think I am, and to me, I view the word conservative as a derivative of the word “conserve.” We want to conserve our money. We want to conserve our wealth. We want to conserve. We want to be smart. We want to be smart where we go, where we spend, how we spend. We want to conserve our country. We want to save our country. And we have people that have no idea how to do that, and they are not doing it, and it’s a very important word and it’s something I believe in very, very strongly.”

I’ve realized that it’s not worth arguing, debating or even discussing the differences between Cruz and Trump or why one is preferred over the other, and why, with Trump supporters.

They like who they like. I like who I like. We all are set in our beliefs and convictions for who fits our ideals, and no one is going to change any minds. In fact, I would bet, with all the back and forth cat fighting that I see on these threads, some are turned off even more so, by the way some supporters behave.

The Republican party is definitely split. And just like the cancer of progressivism has taken over the Democrat party and the left, it too, has invaded the Republican party. And just like with other words, they have changed the meaning of Conservative into something different. Conservativism no longer means what it did, when Reagan was president.

I consider myself to be a Constitutional Conservative. I believe our Constitution needs to be conserved. But more than that, I believe our Constitution needs to be restored. I don’t believe in a full destruction of our entire government/system. I don’t want it all to burn down. But I do want justice and I do want rule of law, to be restored.

That’s the kind of “Conservative” I am. And fighting with people who have an opposing viewpoint, is a waste of everyone’s time and intelligence.
