Most Americans are not THAT demanding of a strict definition of conservatism

If not, then the country is kaput. No “moral and religious people” in the majority as John Adams put it, no USA.

Think realistically ... look at the last two or three generations of HS grads ...

How quickly could the idealism your words conjure be manifested ?

We have comparative seconds to make a decision

We will never be kaput doing something positive to save America from imploding

“If not, then the country is kaput. No “moral and religious people” in the majority as John Adams put it, no USA. “

So tell us, just how do you equate “morality and religiousness” directly with Conservatism and no other political bent? Certainly the Pope isn’t a Conservative, and neither are most rabbis. Are you saying that they are immoral? Just want you to clarify your statement. How about a moral athiest?

The founding fathers were not simpatico. Jefferson didn't really like Hamilton and in the end God was only mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Conservatism today isn't even the conservatism of Reagan, who raised the payroll tax to pay for Social Security and hit Japan with tariffs. Today, conservatism is basically running your mouth, either on the radio or in an empty Senate chamber.

If Trump actually follows through on what he claims he will do, he would truly be a Reagan conservative and then some. Because Trump would accomplish things Reagan failed to do, like build the wall, deport illegals and shrink government.

Personally, I am sick of hearing about running your mouth and being religious as the definition of conservatism, especially when there is a track record of only running your mouth, ala Ted Cruz.
