But Trump isn’t inciting riots....

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/273196-trump-predicts-riots-if-hes-not-nominee

..................”I think we’ll win before getting to the convention. And if we’re 20 votes short or if we’re 100 short and we’re at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400 ... I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it automatically.”

“I think you’d have riots,” Trump continued. “I’m representing ... many, many millions of people, in many cases first-time voters.”

“I wouldn’t lead it, but I think bad things would happen,” Trump predicted, adding later, “After we win, I think a lot of feelings will be soothed.”.................

He’s neither socially or politically nor economically conservative.

If what you say is true then I guess the founding fathers weren't conservative either.

Conservatism not tied to nationalism is as dangerous as any socialist political philosophy.

Reads like the thieving RINO trotskyites want an alliance with the democrat fascist apes to keep the gravy train rolling.

Oops:

"When confronted with the truth that the lazy, welfare queens - the mailbox money voters were Democrats, many Americans woke up to realize that they were small government conservatives and became Reagan Republicans."

Pearls before swine around here. This is exactly the point I made to a liberal a couple years ago. They don’t care about limits on power cause they don’t expect to give it up.

Of course, by nominating people like Trump we make it easy for them to assume we will never have power again.

Indeed and this opinion piece give way too much credit to the left. Leftists love to call the right hypocrites when in actual fact they are the masters of hypocrisy.

NR uses a lot of words to disguise the stupidity of their ideas.

Err, the Founding Fathers were not in favor of big government, anointed leaders or any of the other things that Trump appears to believe. Also, they actually wanted trade, which the British forbade, and this was one of the reasons for the American Revolution.

They wanted fee Trade so bad the first act passed by the first congress and signed by President Washington was the Tariff Act of 1789. LOL.

Huh? What else other than the end can possibly justify the means?
