We have learned that Trump is several orders of magnitude more conservative than John McCain (who helped arm ISIS) or Mitt Romneycare
(from whom Obama got his education secretary producing a curriculum sexualizing young children with homosexuality and sadomasochism.)

Or Paul Ryan who arrogantly calls himself a conservative while working hand-in-glove with democrats to push the liberal/leftist agenda forward.

Remember his last campaign when he promised to take control of the budget process and curb spending?

and now this:

Paul Ryan: "Amnesty is Not Amnesty Because You Pay a Fine"

To paraphrase Reagan, “I didn’t leave the Conservative movement; the Conservative movement left me.”

Nationalist now. Proud of it.

That should have been totally ignored

Ignored or exposed ?

I dunno, Miss M. Antennae telling me that Never Trumper conviction levels a mile wide, and an inch deep. This whole business of cuck labelling is a doomsday weapon because these people live and die on perception. Michelle Fields thought being a victim would lift her profile. She sold 42 (?) books in the first two weeks after release. Glenn Beck is a leper now. Megyn Kelly, Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan ... Never Trump only works if its principled, or perceived to be principled. Yet none of them are principled.

Now Paul Ryan sees an opening for himself in that role, when it comes back in vogue after (he’s hoping) Trump loses,

You have an interesting perspective. Perhaps what you’re saying is that they’ll jump on the bandwagon to continue having influence and to sell books?

I think Sour Kraut will be a holdout.

I agree completely.

BOTH PARTIES have been busy selling out American businesses for more than the entire last generation.

Everyone. Trump is saying it is time to be for America once again.

I wholeheartedly support him. 100%.

It is about time, someone said we need to support America once again.

Krauthammer did not vote for Obama in either of Obama’s presidential elections, so that leaves Illinois elections. Which of those did Krauthammer vote Obama into?

“So Conservatives, What Have We Learned From This Trump Thing?”

I learned that American government is corrupt from top to bottom, that “the Rule of Law” means nothing.

I learned that the entire power structure of American society hates Donald Trump and will stop at NOTHING to defeat him.

I learned that even if Trump somehow wins I had better prepare for the coming disaster. The Ruling Class/Media/Bureaucratic Left will NEVER accept a Trump presidency.

To hell with Khan’s father. He put his head out as a political pawn of Hillary and deserves to have it chopped off. This will not affect Trump’s support one bit.

If he does nothing but close the open borders, he will be worth more than all the modern day presidents put together.
He may not be able to build the wall, try as he might, but he WILL enforce immigration laws.
He will put enough guards on the border to stop the tsunami of Hispanics, Isis murderers and other dangerous criminals over our borders.
He WILL stop the tsunami of dangerous Muslim ‘refugees’
(colonists, jihadists) being imported by Obama against our will and distributed all across America until no place in our country is safe anymore.
He WILL make America safe again.
THAT is the most important issue we are facing.

Trump’s biggest gift to the electorate is pulling the curtain back on the ‘wizards’ of the old, ossified GOPe.

Conservative is as conservative does.

Neocons are not conservative - they back liberal causes.

Trump’s policy positions are conservative.

They don’t have to jump on the bandwagon. Just hedge their bets with some selective muting, or suddenly discover some merit in the enemies’ argument (like Schlicter has.) Instead of hurling vitriol we should be massaging tender egos and finding common ground online. Flaming suited the primaries, not so much now. These people want to be liked, we should show them the way to be liked. And that includes the lurking Freepers grinding their axes over the way they were treated during the primaries. All are needed, this will go right to the wire. I’m hoping Trump asks every supporter to take a pledge he/she will convince one fence sitter to get on the Train.

This nation was founded by businessmen. Most of our founding fathers were not career politicians. Most were common folk. All dedicated thier treasure and family name towards making a country founded on freedom and liberty.

We don’t need politicians. We need real people, with skin in the game .
