I think you clearly understand that your candidate has betrayed you, and perhaps was never what you once thought.
But I digress.
Part of conservatism is a set of principles. I have no problem with that. Your candidate seems to have forgotten that in his bid for power. Yes, his own weaknesses have now been exposed, he's NOT the great candidate many of us once thought. And yes, he has been blinded by ideology, he's just not near so pure as you think.
If populism is defined as dealing with our border crisis effectively, genuinely winning the war against Islamist insanity, strengthening our military, helping our vets, returning to the peace and prosperity of capitalism, I'm going to call myself a populist.
Good luck trying to salvage a campaign that is imploding because of its own candidate.
Why is it that you Trumpbots insist on characterizing the emotional states of your adversaries? Seriously? This is the kind of projection that Leftists engage in... so maybe it isn't all that surprising.
Not the least bit angry, nor am I disappointed in any particular candidate. I am disappointed in so many "conservatives" who've defenestrated literally every mainstream conservative, and who're now defenestrating conservatism itself because their own candidate is not one.
When your "ideology free" Maximum Leader informs you that his supposed conversion to conservatism was just his initial negotiating position, what will you do then? Admit you've been betrayed, or continue to pretend that you knew he was being dishonest all along?
