Great article. The GOP leadership is not conservative, it is statist, ruling class, and elitist. They have achieved nothing conservative in 30 years, because their interests are not our interests.

They are allied with the democrat/communists in a uniparty.

It’s a good cop/bad cop set up. We get to vote for the good cop, but they are both going to put us in jail.

I believe Myth used the phrase “severely conservative”, rather than “seriously”.

Both still sound stoopid..

So I guess Donald Trump is the Orkin Man of the Republican Party getting rid of the RINO pests like Lyin’ Ryan, Mushmouth McConnell, and the rest of the GOP leadership.

The 'talking' is easy, it's the 'doing' that's hard. The RINO party is currently flooded with talkers; worthless, useless and destructive.

Time for Trump to clean house.

It bears repeating: “What the hell is conservative about uncontrolled immigration?”

Smoked them out. The BUSH one world government GOP is dead.
Go to the issue list that Reagan ran on and print them out. Then print out Trumps. Not much difference economically.
And they claim to back Reagan conservative principles. Get it Mark Levin? You HACK!

The Bushes have let it be known that they aren’t endorsing anyone. Ditto the Koch brothers. Romney, who famously claimed to be “seriously conservative,” won’t be at the convention. After all, what do any of them owe to the Party that supported and defended them with sweat and money?

Da Bushes, Romney, and Bill Kristol can go eff themselves...get the hell out of our party. Friggin' ingrates.

“What is conservative about...” Is an incredible and starting point for any topic of discussion. I very much welcome and enjoy Trump realigning the whole concept and outing a number of idiots that have been playing people for a very long time. The reality check is refreshing.

Excellent article. The GOP has been faking it for a decades. And I admit I was snookered, especially when the opposition comes up with candidates like 0bama, Kerry and Gore.

But they didn’t listen. They told the people to sit down and shut up, ala Arlen Specter in a townhall over the 0bamacare bill. The Tea Party, in it’s early days, was a true grassroots movement of citizens across the country, forming in small groups with a smaller government in mind. They were trashed, ignored and in many cases, co-opted by professionals hoping to capitalize.

They wanted inside the club candidates, bought and sold with campaign dollars to keep their lily whites in comfort at the expense of the electorate who longed for an outsider.

And when one emerges with his own resources, the masks drop suddenly and severely and in all corners of those supposed ‘conservative’ media types and in the broader, milquetoast GOP for all to see.

This needed to happen. At least for me.

Caution, do not so easily dismiss the GOPe. They will not go quietly. They are very practiced and adept at shifting positions and hiding in the nooks and crannies. They like the dems, never stop fighting and never give up. We conservatives need to do the same.

Also, we conservatives need to take control of the leadership of the party AND set the rules to it makes it easy to remove RINOs AND set a party platform that is conservative.

Further, we need to develop a grass roots approach that identifies conservatives at the state level as well. This becomes our future national candidate “farm”.

Empty factories stand like tombstones to a disappearing self-determination; while several “conservative” prognosticators claim that the towns and the American citizens those factories supported deserve to “die.” Literally. So, many of us are scratching our heads and asking, “What the hell is “conservative” about uncontrolled immigration and corporate trade pacts?”

Interesting to note if Trump beats Hillary he will kill off the 2nd political dynasty that has ruled US Politics for the last 40 years.

Trump has taken out the Bush’s, now we need him to do the same with the Clintons

The Weekly Standard’s William Kristol is evidently the self-appointed leader of an effort to mount a third party challenge to Trump intoning the name of Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska as its possible standard bearer, who for his part has also said he can’t support the Party nominee because he has to save “conservatism.”

Nothing more clearly demonstrates the absurdity of the anti-Trump hacks than the involvement of William Kristol, who to my knowledge has continued to pose as "Conservative," without ever distancing himself in any way from his notorious father, the avowed "Godfather" of the "Neocons."

To understand how truly non-Conservative the Neocons are, we took an essay explaining the phenomenon by Kristol's father, who admits that Leon Trotsky, head butcher in the Bolshevik Revolution--hint, not a Conservative adventure--was his hero in College! And in Kristol, Sr.'s own explanation let him demonstrate how seriously anti-Conservative is The Neocon Phenomenon.

In contrast, we have explained why we believe that Donald Trump is a natural Conservative, now in a dynamic process of waking up to the reality of how badly we Conservatives have been betrayed by faux Conservatives parroting the idiocy of what is "politically correct." Donald has already provided Americans with an immense benefit. His campaign offers the best chance to yet save America from what is eating out her cultural vitals.

Trump: Metaphor For American Conservatism.
