Welcome to the real world where the bulk of US voters are not “Movement Conservatives”.
Reagan said it best
“A Man 75-80% on my side is not my enemy but a valued friend and ally”.
“On the Republican side, the new survey finds Trump’s lead is dominant, and his support tops that of his four remaining opponents combined. The businessman tops his nearest competitor by more than 30 points:
49% back Trump,
16% Marco Rubio,
15% Ted Cruz,
10% Ben Carson
6% John Kasich.”

Man, I am sick and tired of being anal-ized. We’ve been getting anal-ized for the past 20+ years!
As accusations of dishonesty have flown between Trump, Cruz and Rubio, voters say they are more apt to see Trump as honest and trustworthy. Asked who of the five candidates is most honest and trustworthy,
35% name Trump
22% Carson
14% Cruz
13% Rubio.”

Wow.
Neither is hillary, sanders, bloomberg or romney (if he jumps in). So who are you going to vote for?
If by conservative you mean open borders, free trade, ever larger banks and business mergers destroying small business, quantitative easing to benefit big banks and business at expense of the middle class, diversity for diversity sake and endless engagement in foreign war adventures then no I am not conservative. Neither is Trump.
not the conservative nominee
The mob has spoken...
I’ve asked this over and over again, and gotten not a single response. What has these so-called “conservatives” actually conserved? I haven’t seen them even attempt to stem the 3rd World invasion of the US, hell, most of them seem to support it or are to afraid to even bring it up. Everything the left has ever really gone after, they’ve gotten, most of these “conservatives” roll over and play dead. Sure, they talk big in magazines, and talk radio, and the internet, but I haven’t seen them actually do anything.
Way way too much talk, and absolutely no action.
How about this....normal everyday Americans want Trump or Cruz. You’re welcome.
Sad thing is, Trump’s benighted myrmidons are all over once “conservative” media outlets hating and lying on real conservatives like Limbaugh, Levin, Reagan and Cruz.
What is frustrating the most is that Ted Cruz IS what Trump SAYS he is aka the anti-establishment candidate.
Ted has a RECORD of fighting the establishment while Duh Donald brags about how he is willing to compromise with it.
But then Trump has also stated how he loves him some poorly educated and it shows.
If the Republicans had done what they promised the electorate they would do if given control of Congress, they wouldn’t be having this problem right now.
Bottom line— People are PO(!) across party lines.
We don’t like corruption and liars.
We don’t want to be a part of the Cruz-Rubio North American Union proposition, and we don’t like its requirement for open-flow borders from the southern most point of our continent to the furthest point North, with AMNESTY for all, with we working Middle Class financing all of it and without our permission.
Wake up.
TRUMP 2016
P.T. Barnum: “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
Bottom line: Teddy and Marco are lying sleazeballs.
I say Trump is every bit as conservative as Rush Limbaugh!
Folks here keep saying this as if it is a revelation or matters.
Gotta say, right now screw conservatism. I want the AMERICAN nominee. Conservative purity has gotten us exactly what?
Which candidate is constantly talking about making AMERICA great again, and I mean that sincerely? Trump’s message is an American message. Cruzbio have a “conservative” message. Conservatism hasn’t given anything to its voters in almost 30 years except a piddly tax cut that would have made Reagan blush.
For years conservatives have rightly pointed out that communism is a fraud because it talks a good game but delivers nothing. Conservatism is on the precipice of falling into that same mental framework, thanks to the “conservatives” in DC.
True enough. The Trumpets like to say we the people stand with Trump. The real question is does Trump stand with the people? Maybe but maybe not. His past positions are certainly not reassuring.
