Many Americans may not care, but conservatives do.

What good is a wall if the majority of the illegals are allowed to come back in in an expedited fashion?

What good is there in ending Obamacare if it is replaced by another massive government program?

What good is there in keeping a big government liberal out of office if the guy you put in has zero interest in small government at all?

Right or wrong, the Supreme Court controls our fate on many issues. With multiple vacancies pending, what good is keeping a Dem from filling them if the guy you put in ends up giving you the same type of judges?

What good is there in opposing affirmative action and then electing a guy who supports it?

If the Democrats and establishment Republicans and their policies are a problem for this country, what good is it to elect a guy who has pledged to make more deals with the worst of that lot?

Either you believe in something, or you don’t in my view. If conservatism isn’t important, then we can keep nominating moderates like Trump, McCain, and Romney. Sure, Trump will fight harder than those two ever did. But, if he believes the same things or is to the left of them on some issues, does it really matter?

Yes a wall is important. But what will it cost? Congress isn’t going to just give it to him, which means he needs to compromise with them. It means he needs to give the McConnells and Pelosis of the world something significant in return.

How much of what is important to you are you willing to sacrifice in return for a structure? Is letting say 7 or 8 million of the 11 million illegals back in a fair price? Is a permanent liberal majority on the Supreme Court a fair price? What about a permanent liberal majority in Congress thanks to those new citizens? Higher taxes? A assault weapon ban? What do you think he’ll have to give them in exchange for what he wants?

WHAT expedited return ?

I'm not convinced Trump is a big government guy .... why would an independent businessman who has been stymied by big government all his life, want to instill a big government in the nation he wants to make great again ?

We have no indication Supreme Court selections would be anything but pro American

Trump pledges to make netter deals, not more of them

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.

What good is if it has been hijacked by Free Traitors™, the open border Cheap Labor Express and has also been corrupted by K St. cash. What happened to pro American policies instead of pro international stockholder policy? The word Conservatism has no meaning.

How can anyone calling themselves Conservative run for President with a straight face and be for TPA, increasing H-1B's 500% and Corker amendment?

Question everything FReepers the Establishment facade is falling down because the PC mortar holding it togehter is crumbling under the weight of Trump.
