Nobody is pretending Trump is conservative. He holds some opportunistic conservative principles. Unlike most of the other politicians who are frauds, Trump holds sincere personal beliefs like concealed carry lowering crime, e.g. his proposed 50 state carry. At the same time we can probably count on Trump to fail in some big picture long term issues. Suppose the 50 state permit turns into a federal carry permit complete with FBI records. That would not be good. Or I could see Trump proposing some sort of restrictions as part of a deal.
In short, if we get Trump as president we will get a fixer and he will make America great again. But we may lose some Constitutional rights and will have to make sure Congress keeps him in check.
Whose Congress?
Likely a Republican Congress but what sort of Republicans? Rinos?
Will Rino Republicans break their lifelong habits and decline to combine with Democrats to give Trump his way contrary to the Constitution, in favor of crony capitalism?
I fear relying on Congress to save the Constitution from Trump is about as futile as relying on Congress to save the Constitution from Barack Obama.
That statement is very much like the socialist that screams “but the other guy did it wrong and that’s why it failed and I’ll do it right, trust me!”
Trump doesn’t have the core principles - the constitution - to make “America Great” again.
More big government is more big government. Just a different flavor of more of the same.
The ONLY thing that will make America great again is restricting government to its constitutional limits letting people be free of it and be productive again.
Cognitive dissonance. How is America "great again" with diminished Constitutional rights?
