Which statement: who is the conservative? or I’ve become a Trump supporter.
You certainly can’t say Rubio is a Conservative. And now that Cruz has thrown in with Rubio, he’s lost all credibility.
I’ve been neutral all throughout the primary season, trying awfully hard to be objective.
If you think otherwise, that’s your opinion. Regardless, my question remains unanswered: who’s the Conservative?
Cruz has displayed unwavering conserative ideals. past and present. Trump however, has a 2 decade history of taking liberal positions
1.He thinks affirmative action is okay.
2.He would fund Planned Parenthood except for abortion. (This is current federal policy)
3.He supports a progressive income tax. He does not favor a flat tax.
4.He doesn’t want to cut Social Security or Medicare.
5.He’s in favor of a ban on assault weapons.
6.He invited Bill and Hillary Clinton to his wedding.
7.He doesn’t “fully believe in supply-side economics”.
8.He wants to lead “from behind” on Ukraine. Trump believes that Germany should take the lead on Ukraine.
9.He hates the Iran deal, but he wouldn’t abrogate it after taking office.
10. A short 5 years ago he termed the Republican approach to immigration enforcement “mean spirited”.
11.He supports “touchback amnesty”.
12.He has supported/supports such liberal sacred cows as ethanol subsidies, Kelo and govt. bailouts.
Why do you think all the best conservative minds of our time (Limbaugh, Levin, Sowell, Viguerie etc) all back Cruz?
It’s because he’s the only true conservative of the lot.
No thank you, I’ll support the man with both a past and present history of principled conservatism.
