It could very well be that he is pivoting on his rock-ribbed conservative values in order to make him acceptable in the general election.
After all, the country as a whole has pivoted left greatly. Anybody remember when Dick Cheney came out in favor of sodomite marriage?
Or it could have been that he pulled the wool over conservatives’ eyes during the primary season, particularly in the more conservative parts of the country.
Since he is an outsider and has no record of governance, we won’t be able to predict if he’ll govern as a conservative or a liberal when it comes to social issues. And we won’t know until after 1/20/17.
But, regardless, since he’s the presumptive nominee, we have a choice:
- Roll the dice with Trump not knowing 100% whether he is the NY Leftist Businessman, a former leftist who has come to a realization that conservatism is correct, or a full-blown libertine in favor of cheap illegal labor, government health care (to spin off the costs from business), abortion on demand (or as demanded...in order to get rid of undesirables), and sodomy in the streets.
- Go with a dyed-in-the-wool leftist like the Hildabeast, where we know what she’ll do and none of it will be good.
Even though I’m not a Trump supporter, I prefer to gamble with the former than accept the sure-loser with the latter.
Deja Vu, all over again.
“Even though I’m not a Trump supporter, I prefer to gamble with the former than accept the sure-loser with the latter”
Ditto here. Detestable as Trump is, he’s most likely less abhorrent than that evil pantsuited hag. My vote will be against the worse of two evils, and the hag, by all indications, is the worse of the two.

We do have a way to predict...it’s called the past....Cruz has pointed out his liberalism at every turn and was labeled lyin Ted for his troubles.
When someone has an election year conversion he’s the one lyin. We know he has no core values.
We know he won’t build a wall or deport illegals or defund planned parenthood. We know he will raise taxes “ on the rich” while hiding income only the rich can take advantage. We know he won’t cut the department of education or any other bloated department...
.most of us do know how he will govern. We’ve seen this guy before his conversion
It could also very well be that his life long liberal values are showing through his well practiced façade. I believe the latter.
