“Positions taken by Trump that used to be considered conservative:
1. immigration - build fence, deport illegals
2. build up military
3. sane trade deals that help, not hurt, US economy
4. exalt America as exceptional country
5. rid the country of political correctness
6. take care of Americans before trying to take care of everyone else.
7. promote Christianity
8. against Corker amendment
9. against TPA gift of more power to Obama
10. make the United States great again
11. pro-second amendment
12. pro-life”
Anyone can talk to try and get what they want. What are their deep and abiding principles? Trumps blah blah are the tools he is using to convince people who are fed up and emotional. Trump is for Trump, not Conservatism.
“...to convince people who are fed up and emotional.”
I just counted; seven of those I have heard him promote for years.
“emotional”???
Most of us are irate from watching the nation being DESTROYED by its elected leaders who campaign from the right and govern from the left.
The leftists and the media evidently don’t believe he is all blah blah, or they wouldn’t be in such an uproar.
We “conservatives” have now become so pure and picky that when someone voices conservative principles, we reject them. The rest of those candidates who are not even bothering to run as conservatives, such as Jeb! and Kaisch — you can bank it, they are not. And, finally, the curtain has dropped from around Jindal, revealing him for the ridiculous ass he has always been. He has been sounding like Ronald Reagan for years, and on this site, has consistently been described as a reliable conservative. You talk about a joke.
