3.2.1. Trump Cult about to throw another great conservative under the bus.

Trump’s got my vote and support, but there are significant concerns about his commitment to conservative ideas and also to his reliability to carry the torch. If I read his website, I love his platform. When he speaks about his solutions, he’s literally all over the board. We all should be able to agree, there’s no clue what will occur in a Trump presidency. He could wipe out Obamacare or he could put together a deal with democrats to fix it and leave 3/4ths of it in place to look more like Canada or England. He’s said both. I am hopeful that his website positions will be a guide post and that conservatives like Lee can help guide policy in the right direction. Thing is, we won’t know until we know.

I know Trump is not a Social Conservative. But he seems to have a good grasp of what the Governments job really is: keeping this Country safe and building a strong Military.

I know Hillary is not a conservative in any way, shape or form. She hates the military and is a globalist.

I do believe that Trump loves this Country.

I know Hillary does not love this country.

The choice is obvious to me. We can not work on social ethics unless we are safe. As a side note, It is Congress that we should worry about in regards to obamacare - THEY are the traitors. We need to do all we can to ensure congress gives Trump a bill to sign revoking it - that is THEIR JOB.

See my #171, above.

Just who could be more of a "social conservative," than the man who makes it very clear that he puts his fellow countrymen, their liberty, jobs & other interests, first??

Incidentally, he also wants to get the Federal Government out of local education. Federal meddling in local education is one of the ways that traditional social values in America are being undermined--and parental influence diminished. Stopping that is very, very high on any real social conservative's list of priorities.

All that is fine with Trump. It’s the trashing of the true blue conservative warriors that is pissing me off. I get it, Cruz was the final opponent. It always gets ugly. The continual trashing of him and making up shit after the fact is not pretty (by many here, not necessarily you). The trashing of Lee who has been nothing less than stellar as a reasoned voice in the Senate is another. This has reached a dangerous level with many here, and it really needs to stop.

I am all in with Trump for the general. I flirted with him in the primary but got very turned off by some of the far left things he said in January and February. That said, I’ve agreed with much of what he said, and he may well be the rare person who can get through the battle for the White House from a center-right position and actually get some things fixed. I get it with Trump. I don’t get supposed conservatives trashing the hell out of other proven conservatives day in and day out.
