You can only win this argument one way: by ***accurately*** summarizing why conservatives support Trump. So far, you haven’t come close.

Can’t prove negatives. Conservatives don’t support Trump. Moderates do. The only question is why you are so averse to simply accepting that words and actions mean things.

Your argument is no different tans asking why Christians support abortion. Christians don’t support abortion. Nor do they vote for those that do because abortion is contrary to Christianity just as Trumps positions are counter to conservatism in enough instances to matter.

I look at it this way - if we don't get it right on the constellation of "national sovereignty and culture/demographics" issues, then nothing else matters.

I look at the Cruzers who attack the Trumpers and I see a bunch of buffoons jibber-jabbering about abortion and eminent domain and donations to Clinton a decade ago.

What I DON'T see are people who have any sort of clue as to what is really at stake.

If we don't get these issues like immigration, trade, Muslims, etc. right, then nothing else matters. They literally DO. NOT. MATTER. In twenty years, once the Democrats are getting permanent supermajorities, it will not matter. Abortion? You'll never even get a minor rollback again. Gay stuff? You'll never see any of it rolled back. Taxes and fiscal responsibility and free market and all that other stuff? Nada, once you've got all these millions of folks from Latin America and Africa and Asia turned into good little voters for the Democrats.

Priorities. There are some folks who need to get them.
