But the question wasn't "what are the top things we need to get the federal government out of?" The question was "what are the TOP THREE FUNCTIONS of the US Government?" His answer was that education and health care are two of the TOP THREE FUNCTIONS of the US Government. That is a FAR CRY from what you are saying a "common sense conservative" would say; dang near the exact opposite in fact.
Yes, and when Anderson Cooper followed up on that Donald Trump explained what he was going to do with the “government that we have” to get to the “government that we want.” But if you live in a sound-bite world you missed that.
The good news is that most Democrat voters will miss that too, and think that Donald Trump is going to continue the gravy train for them.
After Donald J. Trump finishes doing all the “liberal” things he has promised: build the wall, deport illegals and Syrian invaders, cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, roll back twenty years of intrusive government regulations, prosecute Hillary and her crew, release the secret 28 pages from the 9/11 report, negotiate prescription drug purchases, repeal and replace Obamacare, simplify the Tax code, repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits, stop the IRS from abridging the free speech of Christian Churches, reform the libel laws to remove the “public figure” distinctions, defund Planned Parenthood until the stop doing abortions, cleaning up the mess that is the VA, cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found, canceling Common Core and returning control of education to the States, end the assault on the Second Amendment, audit the Federal Reserve System, investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC, and destroy the culture of Political Correctness, then we can talk about all those “conservative” issues some people want to address.
