I think we're being miss-directed by the word, "conservative"

-- What I am seeing/reading this election cycle has little truth in advertising... It like this nation is plagued with vertigo because everything sits on shifting sand. --

Yep. I think that's always been the case though. Every time there is a hot issue, one side or both comes up with labels that tend to point away from objectively analyzing the issue(s).

Well, thanks for admitting you’re a liberal. Lies against the Founding Fathers and lies against Reagan; got any more?

And I was never attacking Trump at any point. But you aren’t helping the man.

Trump will bring power back to conservatism.

Trump will certainly give conservatism an opportunity to flourish. One huge impediment to conservative thought today is the use of political correctness in society. Trump has shown an ability to overcome the pc crowd.

What good is it to elect a "true conservative" if he is rendered impotent to the evil of political correctness?

The number one target of political correctness is Christianity. Christians being targeted for hate speech because the dare to oppose correct thought? Trump may well be a God send. Think about it.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HAS TO BE BEATEN TO DEATH!!!!!!!

You could not be more wrong! Is restoring American greatness not Conservative? Is Trump's identification with the interests of American communities, afflicted with huge unemployment, not a Conservative identification--especially when coupled with his rejection of the "politically correct" lunacy, embraced by would be "citizens of the world?"

Can you honestly find fault with my definition of conservative or conservatism in Support For Trump & Cruz?

To make a deal, you have to listen to the people you are dealing with

Right now, he appears to be getting pretty much everything he wants out of the deal.

Amen! Trump having potential advisers Phyliss Schlafly and Sarah Palin are definite steps in steering Trump down the proper path. Defeating Political Correctness is the first battle in this war that needs to be won.

I’m not saying any of that is impossible. But the trap is putting faith in a man, which the Bible says brings a curse on us.

Much of Trump's likeability is the simple things he says

PC is bad ... and like you imply .... SO much is guided and contoured because of PC

How can a college kid be in love today ?

They've reduced all human contact to a PC sexual bubble

What does THAT do to the developing mind ?

Do kids even play show me yours I'll show you mine, anymore ?

Yes, because he really is on our side. That is why people instinctively are rallying to him. He is consistent—as he is now focused, having begun the awakening process—fighting in our interest.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/gops-donald-trump-revives-decade-old-immigration-plan-n401306

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/07/27/trump-id-expedite-legal-immigration-process-for-good-illegals-after-getting-them-out/

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/07/29/trump-move-non-criminal-illegals-back-in-legally-ill-do-something-with-dreamers/

http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/29/politics/donald-trump-immigration-plan-healthcare-flip-flop/

There’s a few links, some with video. He wants the good illegals to come back quickly and in the case of DREAMers he’ll do something else. He says nothing about those waiting in line, not an expedited way IN, an expedited way BACK IN. This isn’t nitpciking, this is Trump’s plan. He wants to spend a pile of money to end up basically where we’re at right now.

I agree that self deportation is unrealistic. I want to end catch and release and expedite deportation hearings. Instead of a wall or along with a wall I’d like to see the national guard patrol the border, augmenting the border patrol. I want severe punishment for those who hire illegals, and incentives for hiring the unemployed. I want those kicked out to get the the back of the line, or even better, never be allowed into the US ever again.

I don’t think Cruz’s plan goes far enough, but I’ll take it over letting the majority of illegals back in legally any day.

Its the mystical unicorn certain groups ride around on, i personally think its getting old, times are changing, real leaders must be adaptable, even if they have to occasionally wear a different color.

Yes! Phylis Schlafly has been a far more consistent & uncompromising defender of American Conservative values, than any of the posturing egoists in once and a while Conservative publications, who are now attacking Trump. She has been in the fight for well over half a century. Her credentials are impeccable.

I put my faith and trust in God. I pray for His guidance in all things. I judge Trump to be the right man for the job. I’ve seen plenty of evidence to support my decision. He has a good heart, is quite kind and charitable and has a solid reputation for getting things done. Good people of faith that I respect support him. In the final analysis, I don’t see anyone better.

Keep up the prayers. They are going to have to get more fervent, now that we’ve had the unprecedented act by a president who directly attacked God by lighting up the White House in rainbow colors.

Yes, because he really is on our side.

That's the theory.

Always have a Plan B.

The conservatives in NH overwhelmingly voted for Trump over Cruz. Even people who identified as extremely conservative voted for Trump in huge numbers. Maybe people are looking at other more important traits in the candidate instead of requiring he be 100% strict conservative on every issue.
