Labels like Liberal and Conservative don’t mean that much to me anymore.

Are they going to follow the Constitution, shrink the Federal Government, enforce our border and have sane economic policies?

By those standards, Trump is much more conservative than Bush. He is also more likely to keep his word.

He should take his wetback wife and move to Mexico and shut up and never come back!

Been wondering where you were. Good to see you're still in fighting spirit, and that you're giving the RINO squishy-poos hell!

I remember back in 1999 when W said "Help is on the way."

I didn't know he meant Trump in 2016.

A candidate who is literally running against conservatism is the last person who needs to be lecturing about it

Indeed Trump is NOT a conservative. But Trump is a non repentant fighter. He doesn’t apologize. He doesn’t have a staff of morons translating what he “meant” to say. His issue is the one thing that will destroy this country. IMMIGRATION. I don’t care about ANYTHING else. If ‘we’ lose the immigration amnesty fight this country is done. Finished. Destroyed. We will forever have a voting block that will elect the caudillo who promises the most free stuff. And that is the liberal progressive democrat. That’s why I like him. In this election cycle...I AM a single issue voter.

Take that all those freepers that called me such horrible names. YEP. Some of the most hateful adjectives I’ve been called were from freepers. (good thing this isn’t a vaccine post....)

Shows an absolutely liberal lack of self awareness when a guy that actively promoted the most hard left republican in history for president, just a couple short years ago, mouths off on what and who is or is not ‘conservative’.

One would think after 2 years time would give one perspective but then the GOP hasn’t been honest about anything since Ronaldus shuffled the Presidential coil.

Jeb, nor his many like minded lobotomites, wouldn’t know conservatism if it bit them on the ass.

You can have every "conservative" on this forum define what a conservative is and each one will have a different answer.
