As someone who did not vote for Donald Trump, I thought his speech today spoke from the very heart of Conservatism. Despite what he has said in the past, if he follows through with what he said today, he has my full support.
Talk is cheap.
Know a man by his deeds.
Trump may govern as a conservative. He may pay fealty to the conservatives who choked down the bile and voted for him.
But by his life's history he is NOT a conservative.
Conservatism is not something you put on this morning, like a clean shirt. It's a political philosophy; it's a set of beliefs as regards politics, as regard the role of government in the lives of free men.
We shall see...we shall see. I'll applaud him when he's right; but I will never, EVER trust him.
