The truth is, Trump’s essentially correct. There are a significant number of GOP members of the House and Senate who ran as conservatives, but voted otherwise once they were inaugurated. Where he’s wrong - in my humble and hopefully inoffensive opinion - is in equating Republican, faux-conservative legislators with real conservatives, of which there are very few.
For me personally, I was hoping that Mike Lee (100% A rating from CR) would run for president, but I’ll settle for Ted Cruz (97% A rating), even though I have questions about a couple of his votes and his explanations for those votes. Like others presumably a helluva lot smarter than me, I think the Trump phenomenon is entirely a creation of the GOPe/uniparty and now they don’t know what to do with it.
My only question is which Trump I’ll be voting for - the one who, four years ago, thought Obama was a superstar and Hillary would make a great president or vice president, or the Trump who thinks Obama’s the worst president in history.
Mike would have been formidable.
