We're not embracing him and all his ideas. We are using him, as he is using us. It's a deal, of sorts. It doesn't change us and make us less conservative. It doesn't change the soul. Politics is politics and you cannot play cards that you don't have. Electing the best candidate of all those who are running is acting righteously, even if the candidate is not perfect.
Of course I don't like to see idolization of candidates, and that is happening a BIT here, because the candidate is so attractive. Some are embracing him, or would like to.
