It’s quite simple really. Many conservatives are sick of being fooled again and again by mere politicians playing conservative to get elected. Trump is the non politician.

We have learned that Trump is several orders of magnitude more conservative than John McCain (who helped arm ISIS) or Mitt Romneycare (from whom Obama got his education secretary producing a curriculum sexualizing young children with homosexuality and sadomasochism.)

All in all a great improvement over the globalist neocons.

"The GOP – our GOP – has nominated someone who is not a traditional conservative. He’s not even an untraditional conservative. Hell, there’s probably not even a “c” or a “v” in whatever he is."

The GOP hasn't nominated a traditional conservative since Reagan. Trump is as "conservative" as McCain or Romney was - possibly moreso. He also is spot on with regard to several issues which resonate highest with conservatives. Finally, he is the first GOP candidate (again since Reagan) who seems willing to take on the global establishment.

That most Conservatives/intellectuals are cowards and have bought into PC Crowd. They hate conflict and fighting for their belief if its not done in gentleman fashion

Some in the Establishment are learning the correct lesson from the Trump phenomenon. Most aren’t and are waiting for this proletariat ‘temper tantrum’ to blow over.

Most of us realize that Trump isn’t perfect, we may even be prepared to find out that he will disappoint us. However, at least with him there is a CHANCE that he could really start the ball rolling on making America Great Again. On the other hand, we know from the get go that the career politicians we have been nominating were/are fully onboard with Globalization, open-borders, Amnesty, everything that is dragging America down. So, we have decided to take a chance on the non-politician, out of desperation and disgust for the Globalist establishment.

I think you got it. We conservatives continued to have conservative values, while the “conservatives” in Washington went over to the dark side, but still saw themselves as “conservative”. Trump shown the light of truth on the cockroaches.

I’ve learned that the term “conservative” has been a code word for “globalism” and that I’m a NATIONALIST.

That, my friend, is what I’ve learned.

Correct. As opposed to everyone else who was running to be President; Trump has never done anything that has directly harmed my family or community.

Conversely, Trump has the reputation for keeping his word and meeting his goals.

Except maybe you didn’t go to a university and wanted to work with your hands and found that you can’t get a job because all the companies are hiring cheap illegal alien workers.

Or maybe you want to work and go to school at the same time.

Am I the only one seeing a turn of events in these ‘elitist’ writers now eating some crow? Of course, it’s condescending crow but crow nonetheless.

Even the awful Andrew Sullivan (he of the thousand bees on his face) has written an article sympathizing and condescending to the white working class while referring to himself reverently as ‘an elite’. (I guess what defines an elite is getting arrested in a public park in Provincetown and studying Palin’s ovulation charts the way a rabbi studies Torah).

Of course, all these guys hate and despise Trump just as they really hate all those guys who show up and fix their toilets, do their electrical work, build their pools, landscape their gardens and save lives when Endicott City, MD goes under water.

Fools!

We have learned that most Republicans are merely Dems in disguise.

I’m thrilled that “conservatives” like Yeb! lost.
The Cheap Labor Express bastardized the term.

The word Conservative has lost all meaning.

The GOP – our GOP – has nominated someone who is not a traditional conservative.

Was Romney a traditional conservative?
Was McCain a traditional conservative?
Was Bush II a traditional conservative?
Was Bush I a traditional conservative?
