On Wednesday, Donald Trump finally came out of the closet: yes, he admitted, he's no conservative, but conservatives are the problem with the country anyway. Here's his tweet:
Trump is half-right - the Republican Party has promised, over and over again, that it would implement conservative policies. Then they reneged, disappointing their conservative base over and over. That's one reason the two leading candidates for the Republican nomination are Trump and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), both hated by the establishment but supported by grassroots conservatives.

Spot on!
A typical media tactic: Ask a question that you can answer with the results you want. Who the hell is paying these commentators to write this stuff?
"Trump thinks the biggest problem with the Republican Party is ideology."
No, it is his pragmaticm, his ability to do things that the Republican ideology lacks. Trump would be as conservative as the Pope is Catholic but without his pragmatic ability, nothing gets done. His record of pragmatism combined with his born-again conservatism will zealously build that shining city on the hill that Ronald Reagan spoke about. And The Donald now has the zeal to build it. Believe me.
For Donald Trump this is like a business deal. He is buying up GOP stock and it’s a hostile takeover. Sorry GOPe, sorry faux conservatives, you are losing the company. Better get out your golden parachutes. ;-)
TAKE BACK AMERICA. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. GO TRUMP!
I have been writing about the provocateurs on the Free Republic for some time. They are like Poke-a-Moles that when you think you have called them on their nonsense, they pop up on another thread and pull the same antics. Never do they describe their high opinions of their candidate. That’s because their purpose is not for giving their candidate support but to denigrate supporters of the other candidate. It is a game that is as monotonous as—Poke-a-Mole.
That question has been answered every way and twice on Sunday. You still don't get it, like many of you instigators trying to divide the conservative camp. Here is an answer you have never got: Trump has worked with government throughout his career. He has found that giving campaign contributions helps him work with government. If you had the money, you would contribute too, unless you were ignorant and did not realize that government runs a protection racket. People that naive do not stay in business.
What’s clear is that no matter what Trump has done, whether it’s funding liberals, praising liberals, having Bill and Hillary at his wedding, supporting partial birth abortion, denouncing Republicans, denouncing conservatives, betraying wives, bragging about adultery, betraying investors, etc., his supporters believe the promises the mountebank makes. His magical and empty promises are all they need without any answer as to how. He is believed because they want to believe, not because there is a shred of evidence or experience.
Good night! Methinks you are clutching on myths that have compromised your conclusions which should be more open-mind. His record of accomplishments is undeniable.
Think of the story of Saint Paul who was a staunch and ruthless persecutor of the early Christians in the region of Jerusalem. He wanted to destroy their movement. However, he had a life-changing moment—A Jesus moment—that changed him from being one of the early movement’s most ardent persecutors to being one of its most fervent supporters. This change is what I see has happened to The Donald. He has seen the light and through his pragmatic way of doing things, he will be successful like his record has shown. And he will be zealous for our cause in a way that will be miraculous, just like Saint Paul.
“Stupid? Anything but!!!”
If he’s intelligent, he certainly hides it well when he speaks.
He didn’t even know what the nuclear triad is, for cryin’ out loud! I’ve seen little sign that he’s actively trying to learn the things he needs to know to be a competent President.
That, coupled with his obviously high opinion of himself, is very worrisome indeed.
Let me be clear - if Trump is the nominee I’ll hold my nose and vote for him. That doesn’t mean I’ll be ecstatic about it. ;-)
No more politicians.
I am voting for Trump because I think he is the best conservative that can win the Presidential election.
Furthermore, I am voting for Trump because I think he is the best representative of Republican party. He is a GOP conservative, not a RINO from the far right conservative, nor is he a RINO from the far left of the party.
Our remedy must remain vigilance in understanding how we are being gamed. And understand also, that those targeted for the games of provocateurs, tend to be those the Left most fears. Trump's attacks on the PC crowd and their bullying techniques, has set off the panic alarms on the Left--hence this deliberate misconstruction of what he was actually saying, about those self-styled "Conservatives," who neither keep their promises, nor even fight for what they pretend to believe in.
