How many times did TBP get kicked off here for #NeverTrumping during the primary wars, anyway?

It has largely slipped under the radar screens of partisan hatred in Washington, but has anyone noticed that in the last couple of months Donald Trump has become . . . a Democrat? Of course, for most of his life, Trump was a Democrat, a faithful fundraiser for Chuck Schumer and Hilary Clinton, and comfortably liberal in most of his positions. But once he decided to run for president as a Republican, he underwent a total transformation, becoming an arch-conservative. And during his first year in office, he governed like a conservative Republican, slashing taxes and regulations, appointing conservative judges, and throwing money at the military.
Since January, though, President Trump has been returning to his Democratic roots. In the past two months, he has embraced a big-spending budget deal that funds nearly all the Democrats’ top priorities and pushes deficits over $1 trillion for as far as the eye can see. He also proposed a massive new infrastructure program. And now, he has embraced a trade policy right out of the Bernie Sanders playbook.
In fact, during the 2016 campaign, Bernie had explicitly called for tariffs on steel. Hillary Clinton had also adopted a remarkably anti-trade posture. Many people are rightly pointing out that Trump’s rejection of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has left the United States dangerously isolated and economically disadvantaged in Asia, but they forget that Hillary too had campaigned on pulling out of the trade pact.

Reagan proposed NAFTA in 1979. (Of course, he wasn’t calling it NAFTA)
And, China doesn't have a free market economy. It can and does manipulate the price of steel to suck money from this country.
I guess if you can’t argue the issues, just call them a name.
“Then we had “tax cuts” which were really minuscule and a lot went to illegals. “

Is that you, Nancy?
Stop the endless whining; it’s been almost 2 years since the end of the primaries. You LOST.
I didn’t lose. I wasn’t in the primaries. Conservatism lost, and Obama won.
Correct.
Everything Trump is doing is to either keep money in the country or pull it back in.
It has been a massive transfer of wealth for almost 2 generations.
I astonished that some people still don’t get it.
I didn’t lose. I wasn’t in the primaries. Conservatism lost, and Obama won.

Translation: BAWWWWWW.
People would call you an ideologue, but even an ideologue wouldn’t complain as much as you. Yer just on your second year of butthurt.
Ronald Reagan also had Democrat roots.
But I digress.
Based on your statements, I’m assuming that Trump should have taken the approach of forcing the GOP to be conservative. As well as forcing at least 10 Democrats to be conservative (legislation requires 60 votes, not 50). Repealing Obamacare required 51 and that failed despite voting for it numerous times during Obama’s reign of terror.
If you know how to force a politician to be conservative, please tell me how. What would you want Trump to do specifically to force the GOP and 10 Democrats to vote for conservative legislation?
I am not talking about what I think he should do. I am talking about what he claimed when he was running and what his supporters claimed.
Good for Jared. A stand up guy.
Balderdash. Any Freeper who things Trump is going Dem based on the tariffs, read this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3638545/posts
Ronald Reagan was a Democrat. Ronald Reagan head a 25 year track record of moving to the right by the time he ran for president. He had a long track record of understanding and espousing conservative ideas. Six years before he was running for president, he was finishing serving as a Republican governor for eight years, he wasn't reregistering between Democrat, Independent, and Republican.
Ronald Reagan didn't just wake up one day and decide to run as a Republican to get attention. He had attention.
I love how people have to lie about Ronald Reagan to justify total falsehoods.
Tell me you’re joking!
Shut up, never-Trumpers! Like the Democrat-Communists, you do not wish to solve anything! You are the neocon-Communists! Go away.

TDS runs rampant on Free Republic again.
Then why does the left still hate him?
As far as I'm concerned, you & your soulmates Kristol and Bret Stephens would have been happy with Felonia von Pantsuit packing the Supreme Court with Lefties so's you could all cry about losing for the rest of your loser lives.
We see you.
