Heck, we haven’t had a proper conservative of any stripe running for the nomination since Reagan. We got 1.5 this time.....
I think a conservative could have gotten the nomination this time, given how awful shape America is in after the Obama sabotage
but I gotta admit that Donald Trump is a very skilled campaiginer....and of course he has the $$ too.... there were a couple recognizable conservatives in the race but nobody this year can out-campaign DT or attact voters better than he can. he just has a talent is all. Reagan was the only conservative in my lifetime that had a similar talent I think
