The Wallstreet journal is stupid. Trump is winning “very conservative,” “conservative” and Evangelical votes in basically the next 5 or 6 states. How can he win something he already has?

Ted Cruz is toast, as has been observed on this site.

Trump is more of an American nationalist, which is fine with me. It’s about time we have someone who puts American interests about Globalist interests.

Trump’s Plan to Win Conservative Support

All he has to do to win my support is win the nomination... but up to that point, i'm supporting Cruz.

I’d like to know what “conservative” supports the North American Union proposed by Heidi Cruz?

more confirmation

Trump is not a conservative.

I have been saying this for a long time.

Trump is not winning conservative voters.

The more closed the primary— the more he tends to lose them.

Probably all the conservatives who support free trade.’

Which should be just about everyone because free trade is a conservative value.

As the longtime conservative political analyst Michael Barone has observed, “Trump speaks conservatism as a second language he hasn’t bothered to master.”

How can Trump walk the walk when he can't even talk the talk?

Trump is a trumpist, i.e whatsoever is good for Trump. He doesn’t care a wit about anyone else. If you benefit by something he does to help himself fine. If you are hurt by something he does to help himself that is also fine because that makes you a loser.

At least with Trump there is a chance you might get a benefit. With Cruz all you get is the same tired old Bushism, endless wars, massive illegal immigration, tons of more debt, and the old Globalism of the CFR, and the gope.
