I think there were still scores of people who had their blinders on, re: National Review, Red State, The Federalist, Ben Shapiro, etc...
Trump has exposed all kinds of Cheap Labor Express stooges who had heretofore been able to conservatively camoflage themselves.
Absolutely.
Amen! Trump has separated out the chaff from the wheat and there is a lot more chaff than wheat “conservative” posers out there. 500 “conservatives” who oppose their candidate against an out and out communist. 500 Republicans. 500 cheap liberals. 500 pocketbook lining globalists. 500 chamber of crony commerce members. But 500 conservatives, only in their warped mind as to what constitutes a conservative and they ain’t it.
Win or lose Trump has finally shown the light of day on the great chasm that has been brewing for decades in the Republican Party. It can either die as a communist echo or offer a real choice. Frankly my money is on the echo after observing these greedy leeches since 1988.
