The Bill Kristols of the world are $hitting themselves.
Trump's biggest flaw, beyond his general ignorance of policy, is his positions are nearly all mutually exclusive. He's going to be more aggressive with ISIS and al Qaeda, but he's going to take more isolationist America first positions towards his foreign policy. He's going to ban people based on their faith (Islam), yet most of the allies we need to fight ISIS and al Qaeda are with people of that faith that he will "temporarily" ban. The people we need desperately to defeat these barbarians would be unable to attend military conferences in the USA, for example! Their children could not go to our Universities. Our service members are based within these Islamic countries. They attack ISIS and al Qaeda from Islamic countries. Trump will make all of these allies at best indifferent to Trump's claims that he'll take on ISIS and al Qaeda. This shows how shallow his thinking is. He doesn't consider any second or third order effects of his shoot-from-the-hip statements. Neither do his supporters for that matter. If it sounds jingoistic, it's good for them.
The good news for his supporters is he freely admits that everything he says is merely a suggestion. They allow him to contradict himself on all matters - big and small - because their loyalty is to the man. He sometimes changes his mind three times in twenty-four hours His supporters never mind that, nor that he doesn't speak of making any of the Federal government smaller. The five richest counties in America are all around Washington, DC. That won't change under Trump. Trump's whole career has been a cozy, crony capitalist connection with Democrats. He's no enemy of statism; he just wants to make sure he's president. It's all and only about his ambitions.
His supporters don't care that he makes promises and won't keep them. For example, he was claiming he'd be self-funding and unable to be bought by outside interest. How long did that last? Now, he's keen to get all of that money. Sheldon Adelson's money will be accepted. How many others? Boone Pickens' money will be accepted. It's all been a scam. And he's been as close to the Clintons as any rich American in the nation. He consulted Bill Clinton before he made this run for the nomination. No other Republican candidate did that.
Getting rid of the neo-cons will enthuse some of Trump's base. But what it really is is an example of how little he values a big tent approach and how little value he places in ideas. He brags about being a common sense conservative. In fact, he's a situational one. He couldn't take over the Democrat Party, so he pretended to be a conservative. He knows next to nothing about the subject. As with the Moselms, so with the neo-cons, Trump discards allies so he can seem like he's his own man. He is a disaster for conservatives. He'll ruin the brand.
Final thought. He feels comfortable attacking Bill Clinton, his former ally and wedding guest, about his sexual behavior. Yet this is the pot calling the kettle black. It's another example of his situational approach, in this case to ethics. He's a fraud.
