I am not sure he is a "Conservative" what ever that means any more.

He is a practical, normal pro-American.

Which is what is needed.

And why he is as popular as he is. "Let's do it this way because it makes sense" wins over pie in the sky ideology.

Let's not let people sneak into our country and get on our welfare system is a logical position.

Let's make sure our citizens have jobs before we import more people is just as logical.

Let's build and produce things our selves so no one can hold us hostage. Once again, practical.

Let's revise the tax code so people who made money over seas will want to bring it back here. So logical only someone disconnected from reality would oppose it.

Let us build up or military to defend ourselves and not to defend other people. If they want us to defend them they need to pay part of the bill. Seems reasonable.

Let's support and protect those intuitions that build community spirit and provide cohesion. Who would be against that?

They only sound "Conservative" because the democrats have gone bat crap crazy.

100% right. What Trump stands for today was just normal thinking 30 or 40 years ago. Strong military. Secure borders. Strong domestic economy providing jobs and products to Americans. Salute the flag. Read the actual WORDS of the Constitution. Even Democrats then would not have argued about it.

I guess you have to be "right wing" nowadays to support such things.

Good points.
