No, you’re full of crapola.

He is the ONLY presidential candidate standing up for the families of U.S. citizens murdered by illegal aliens. All the other so-called conservative Republicans couldn’t give a damn.

Are a lot of Trump’s pundit-crtics, former Tea Party’ers?

Seems like they were ardent anti-establishment Tea Partyers. Or: I just don’t remember their strong support of GOP in the past.

Yes, with his book. He states what he intends on doing.

That’s like saying I should educate myself about Obama by reading Dreams of my father.

Donald Trump has been a celebrity for 30 years and I’ve been an adult for all of it. I’ve got all the education about Trump that I need.

Charles “C.W.” Cooke is also a pompous ass and British snob.

I didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense. I've read just enough of his articles to never read him again. Happy Friday dear onyx!

“A truly principled conservative party” would be one which actually fights the left, reduces the size, scope and power of the federal government, does not encroach on personal freedoms, eliminates crony corporatism, and enforces the rule of law...

If Trump so conservative, why was he for abortion before he was against it? Why did he endorse Hillary in 08? Why did he propose a huge one time confiscatory tax taking 14% of everyone’s net worth over 10 million back in 1999? He also said he was for a single payer healthcare system when he was on the Larry King show and in his book “The America We Deserve.” He is neither consistent or trustworthy.

CC, I’m surprised at you. You know that the media lies.

Dreams from My Father was propaganda pushed by the Chicago communists to get votes from blacks, who did not know that Barry Soetoro was a queer Muslim from Indonesia.

Castigating Trump as a “celebrity” is like the garbage spewed by Democrats about Ronald and Nancy Reagan being socialites. The MSM goes to great lengths to create the ‘personaes’ what we read about, whether true or not.

Trump has published 16 books, many of them best sellers. He has built millions of dollars worth of buildings and made billions of dollars in earnings, employed tens of thousands of employees, and has had a front-row seat to the Democrats destroying this country. He recognizes that the Democrats are doing so to get votes. So, he is challenging them.

What’s the matter, CC. He isn’t socially conservative enough for you?

First things first: we have to keep the country from going down the crapper!

CONSERVATIVES DO NOT SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP.
Simple as that.

What we do support is his verbal butt kicking on liberals and his straight shooting on basic conservative issue.

With this in mind, however, we know that Trump is likely to turn back on a moments notice and revert to his liberal tactics. And when he does, he will be dismissed. But until then - he is our useful idiot.

Very well said.

It's not that we think Trump is a great Conservative hero, but we finally, FINALLY have a non-Liberal that will FIGHT BACK against liberalism and the media and the corrupt establishment.

It doesn't matter if he's not a Conservative. We finally have somebody that's not necessarily our enemy pushing back.

Since you want to play that game: if Ted Cruz is so conservative why did he get in bed with Paul Ryan to enable Obamatrade and other secret Obama “trade” deals.

There is no perfect candidate. Attacking Trump while he is successfully engaging the beltway GOP on immigration and trade is just foolish. Meanwhile, Rubio the snake gets a pass on his treasonous Gang of Eight bill. Pick you targets more wisely, FRiend.

After so many years of moderate weasels being nominated you would think conservatives would actually support a conservative for once.

Oh well.

Conservatives love to lose it seems. McConnell & Boner & _______ are not conservative.

Andrew Breitbart would be ashamed of his website these days.

He knew Trump was a phony

First of all, Beck is insane.

Second, I’d rather have someone who buys politicians than the politicians he bought.

...Besides, I don’t see him being someone who can do what we really need, which is to transform the Republican party into a truly principled conservative party....

I don’t see that as something I really need, since at this point I couldn’t care less about the Republican party. What I really need, what this country really needs is to get the US back on track.

“If Trump so conservative, why was he for abortion before he was against it?”

Good question: did you ask Reagan that back in 1980?

People change their minds due to life experiences.

Right now there is no law in the land. This administration is against Christians, all Christians, and only administers the law against what it perceives as the weak or an enemy. We may not have another opportunity to obliterate it’s evil.

I don’t think this guy can be boxed in. TRUMP would not go after guns, abortion, gay marriage,etc...he is inspired by jobs, economy,trade. My best guess. I imagine him “getting the best around him” and heeding wisdom most of the time. If he puts Palin or Cruz in...that will tell the story. In many ways he is our insurance policy against the GOP machine.

He isn’t consistent, and his supporters know that. But he fights.

Thats worth something.

I’m for Cruz, Cruz is the real thing. But Trump fights and he doesn’t back down. He has all the right enemies. I’m not taking that away from him.
