Donald Trump is no conservative. His supporters who think The Donald has made a conversion from being a New York liberal are deluding themselves.
A video was just released providing a visual compilation of all the decidedly un-conservative positions Trump has taken. Some recordings are from years past, and others are surprisingly recent.
In case anyone still is convinced that Trump is a true conservative, here is a list of those issues in which Trump is anything but:
Moreover, Trump does not embody the Ten Conservative Principles which were outlined by the aforementioned Russell Kirk in 1986. Kirk wrote that “conservatives are guided by their principle of prudence.” Is Trump prudent in his lifestyle? Hardly. Kirk also wrote that “conservatives are chastened by their principle of imperfectability.” Is Trump ever chastened by anything? The narcissist who says he doesn’t like to ask God for forgiveness? We know the answer to that.
Donald Trump’s followers can explain him away as much as they would like, but Trump has never been, nor ever will be, a conservative — in political, economic, or social domains, and certainly not in the way he conducts his life.
Gee willikers!
*I* heard that Trump wears a wig made out of crippled Asian child laborers’ hair!!!
In other words: such a last minute smear job won’t help “your guy;” he only started to campaign/fight a few weeks ago. Too little, too late.
My granddaddy had a saying:
Boy, you can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day you still gotz a pig!

Personally, I’ve been thinking that trump started out as a plant for his good buddies, HillBill. The plan: get in the mix, use his usual bullying tactics of name calling and character assassination to rip through the Repub candidates, causing many to lose supporters, suck the air dry with his Kardashian style reality tv stunts so that he claims all, or most of the publicity…then, when he wins the Repub nomination, conveniently lose the election to HillBill. As for that scenario, he has done exceptionally well. Only problem. HillBill is stumbling, so she might not be the Dems candidate…..so, El Trumpo goes for it for himself. So far, it looks like this hypothetical “plan” is working quite well. El Trumpo has managed to disrupt what would have been a good race between Cruz, Rubio, and Bush without even coming up with any concrete ideas or plans for “his presidency”….it’s been all deflection to attacks, rumors and aspersions. If ANYONE dares to criticize him, they are immediately attacks as losers, and unimportant. This Kardashian clown has ruined America’s usual political campaigning process.
I think you’re spot on, Penny.
Are we going to reward a man who’s done nothing to advance conservatism, nothing to protect our republic, our constitution, and our freedoms? Or are we going to reward those who’ve been in the trenches for years? Trump is trying to usurp what others have done before him, and it’s a damned shame!
