Yes, he’s done things. He’s made a lot of money. He’s built a lot of condominiums and clubs. If that’s the criteria for conservatism, then we have a host of folks to line up who were more successful than Trump.

It seems like you have wealth envy. Keep in mind, few people were given the golden spoon financial start of Donald Trump. He has had a bank of lawyers and financial people to help him his entire life. He was set up to do things with a lot of money, and to his credit, he made the best of it.

That doesn’t define conservatism. Zuckerburg has done things, Gates and Buffet have done things with money. That doesn’t mean they would make a great President or reflect conservative values as President.

I suppose I need more evidence than a few statements during a Presidential campaign. For instance, has he helped you financially keep this site going? That would be a big up check in my book. Has he helped any other conservative causes with his billions?

Don’t know about the boy(?) wonder Zuckenburg, but Gates, Buffet, et al, as democrats probably would have made a better president than Obama. Or Hillary. Or Sanders.

Name Me one "conservative" who has consistently DONE anything to actually move the needle forward over the last 20 years with the exception of Newt Gingrich.

"pledging" "fighting" etc are all words without any action. That defines the history of Ted Cruz in the Senate. He's not running for attorney general but for president and he hasn't done one damn thing that is presidential.
