His popularity is about his willingness to stand UP and stand AGAINST the tide.

Oh, he is? How come he took the anti-Confederate flag side? How come he won't say anything that would remotely offend gays? How come when two Muslims tried to kill Pamela Geller, he took the Muslim side. How come he keeps going out of his way to say how fabulous Mexicans are? You've been sold a bill of goods.

It isn’t about WHERE he stands.

Wow. That's a heck of statement. You will abandon conservative because of someone's shallow reality TV style. I remember when conservatives hated trashy reality TV style.

If Trump can crush the press and prove to a lot of voters what is going on..are chances of electing conservatives in the future is much greater.. I will take half and get the other half later…If Hillary is elected we are toast…my first choice is Walker…but I could live with Trump…If he shows the press are frauds so much the better for us..

There are quite a few “fake conservatives” running for President too.

Um, you endorsed Bob Dole in 96, Mike. Dont lecture us.

Trump endorsed Romney in 2012, and registered as a Republican to vote for him in the primary. So Trump and his RINO flock should stop lecturing us.

Deport the ones who are here.

That is totally false: TRUMP: Undocumented Workers Can Stay ... BUT ONLY IF THEY WORK HARD

Trump is pro-amnesty.

You are correct and so is Michael Reagan. Trump is a show boat, a hot dog and a grand stander.

He is no more of a conservative than Rudi Guilani. But by any fair assessment, Rudi had backbone and worked wonders for New York.

It will take a term or two of the current POS mayor before New Yorkers will really appreciate him. The same can be said about our current POS president.

A lot of FReepers supported Romney too. They thought he had a better chance with the leftists vs Obama.

The big "if" is whether Trump is an honest person, unlike Ross Perot, who was a self-serving pimp.

I fully understand that Trump has belonged to every political party there is. Big whoop. They all suck.

I don't believe Trump is a liar. I think he's honest to a fault, which is why he is driving RINOs and the Left insane, because deceit is their stock in trade.

If Trump goes third party, we know he was a liar.

I don't think he's going to do that. I think he's 70 years old, he's had a lot of success, and he wants to fix some of the things that are wrong with the country.

The alternative is to let the GOPe shove Jethro down our throats.

Cruz is the ONLY one who hasn't broken the 11th commandment.

That Walker broke it upset me greatly.

Man, all this nonsense is driving me crazy. Have children always been running the electoral process?

Lighten up Francis. He won’t last, but he is providing top cover for Cruz. He is drawing fire from the Progressive Democrats and the Progressive Republicans right now and Cruz is slipping in under the radar because Trump just keeps getting bigger and bigger. His willingness to stand up is the role model for whoever gets the nomination. I’m sick of the Republican candidate being a punk for the Democrat.

But the Conservative Circular Firing Squad will prevail because every time someone says something that isn’t pure enough, some purist will jump all over them.

For education, Trump wants to repeal Common Core.
I don't believe him. He doesn't know anything about this issue than the name Common Core.

Deport the ones who are here.
I proved that false in the last post.

Repeal Obamacare and create a system that brings down costs while helping those who need help.
Trump still supports single pay universal healthcare, which is to the left of ACA.

He’ll create jobs by renegotiating our trade deals, keeping jobs in the US, revamping the tax code, and making it easier for businesses to function. Deregulation.
I don't buy that. He has no credibility on that issue. He has always worked hand in hand with big government.

He’s also pro-military.
Proof?

Build it up. Pro-2A.
He is pro gun control.

“>>So before any more conservatives jump on the Trump bandwagon, wouldn’t it be better to find out where he stands?

The RINOs don’t get it. It isn’t about WHERE he stands.”

EXACTLY! It’s about the fact that Trump actually STANDS! He stands up!

Then why should Michael Reagan be dismissed because he endorsed Dole? (I don't know that that is true, but someone claimed that.)

I actually don't remember many Freepers supporting Romney. Always seemed crazy to me.

So, unfortunately, I voted for Romney too. What was the alternative - Obama? This is a weak position.

Oh I definitely know whom he endorsed. I’m taking the “trust but verify” route with him as I’m a Cruz supporter.

I also know that if he wanted to be a naked leftist, he could easily run as a Democrat. Far easier, and likely he could own the nomination over there.

But conservatives talking heads need to realize that the problem isn’t Trump, but the lack of anyone that is willing to show this much guts on some combative issues.

If no one else is willing to stick their necks out, then they can spare us the bashing of the one guy that is. People are going to be galvanized by whom is speaking to important issues, and wont give a toss about which candidate went to church the most or which one was the best cub scout.
