Your assessment is, of course, quite wrong.

Actually, it is absolutely accurate. Trump has attacked conservatives and what we stand for out on the campaign trail in this very campaign. You just don't pay any attention to what is really going on.

I bet you were really proud when Trump said “Tell them to go F-— themselves” the other day. Very presidential, right?

"Trump is a lifelong New York liberal. I don’t know how he has been able to easily fool so many conservatives."

He does not talk issues (except for immigration). He just grunts generalites. He is a blank slate.

At this point, no one who has professed support for Trump can likely be talked out of it. Statements from the past don't matter to them, and they've said so.

And that "statements from the past" standard applies to things he said just yesterday.

Reagan did give us the first amnesty

And the war on drugs.

Reagan's heart may have been in the right place, but IMO, he was the beginning of a long line of Republicans that unlocked the door for an even longer line of Democrats to walk through by twisting the laws beyond purposes for which they were ever intended.

Not really. On the other hand, I have wanted a guy on our side that wouldn’t play the P.C. games, wouldn’t do focus groups on every word he uttered, and would defend the nation with whatever force he could muster.

So politically correct he isn’t. And that’s why I see him as more presidential than the Bushes, the Clintons, and the Obamas.

This guy won’t take crap from our enemies. It’s about damned time.

“I never saw this posted.”

The headline doesn’t even remotely match the damn passage.

He said Carter had guys asking him for millions for his library.

“The answer is that as poorly qualified as he was for the job, Jimmy Carter had the nerve, the guts, the balls, to ask for something extraordinary. That ability above all helped him get elected president. But then, of course, the American people caught on pretty quickly that Carter couldn’t do the job, and he lost in a landslide when he ran for reelection”

The part about Reagan also didn’t match the headline.

Reagan foolishly made the deal to allow amnesty in exchange for locking down the border. He went through with his side, The Dems reneged. In any deal, both parties have to be trustworthy. Unfortunately, Reagan learned the hard way that the Dems can NEVER be trusted.

Reagan’s King Day also made Obama inevitable. Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy reversed Reagan policies on the high court.

“And the war on drugs.”

Drugs are an evil and scourge.
There is no rational argument for them being legalized or decriminalized.

There a (few) things that government needs to be around to prohibit.
Drugs and child pornography are a couple.

Reagan did give us the first amnesty, after 30 years I see what that has done to America, so I’m no longer such a fan.

Reagan also later said it was his biggest mistake because the Demonrats never enforced the other portions of the bill that was supposed to stop the mess.

This was back in the days when Trump was a Democrat. That was when being a Democrat was a good thing. Can you trust anybody who a Republican when Trump was a Democrat. There probably is only one person who was a Democrat when that was the right thing, then a Republican, then an Independent, then back to a Democrat and then back to a Republican. Donald used deals from Mayor Abraham Beame for tax abatement and condemnation to do the deal with the big banks to do the Hyatt Hotel deal, which is how he got started, back when that was a good thing.

Yes. At a rally in NH yesterday.

That’s because trump is shallow. He made a judgment on Carter as having balls based on how money he was willing to beg someone to give him. There are lots of people like that.
