Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.

And I'm sick of Trumpians who purport to be conservative.

If you support this charlatan you are not a conservative because Trump is not a conservative:  raise taxes, support universal healthcare, supports unlimited abortion until he starts running for president.

What's the matter with you DC?  I don't recognize you lately.

My friend, his Conservative resume and pedigree doesn't concern me at this time.   The article speaks for itself. 

In fact, in a positive sense, it merely confirms my allegiance to Trump.   

Trump at the head of the GOP ticket with a wise VP choice, is exactly what this country needs right now after eight years of ....'THIS'!!

What you should be asking yourself is who is the ONLY candidate that could beat Hillary straight up...in the current culture?

Don't worry about his liberal tendencies.  That's what a super majority Republican Congress is for!  The coattails go coast to coast. 

They should keep him in check.   That is, if you can find a set among them. 

I don't care what kind of a President Trump would turn out to be.

Because eight years more of this...on steroids...under Hillary or Biden, with Obama chirping from the sidelines??

Not on your life.

He's a raw capitalist.  And he's a leader.  If he says he's going to fix the VA...it's going to happen.  And he won't break a sweat.

He won't put up with an adversarial left wing media like George Bush endured toward the end.

I could go on and on with reasons why Trump is the man of the time.

If only you guys had an ounce of pragmatism, you'd figure it out.  It's not rocket science.

1. Why would they be afraid?  Afraid because they're supporting a Democrat?

2. Afraid because they're supporting a shape-shifting opportunist who is taking advantage of "Republican anger" to advance his own interests?

3. Afraid because they know good and well that Donald Trump would be no better than electing Hillary Clinton?

4. I'd be afraid too if I held those views.

Wrong three out of four times. You're getting better.

"He's a democrat"

That got me thinking (and you know how much I hate thinking).

Why would the RNC chair allow the party to field an obvious "democrat" candidate? Even to the point of meeting with the candidate to iron out issues and make piece with him? Why not denounce Trump as a democrat plant who merely intends to foul-up the republican primary?

Seems like some are getting into tin hat territory with the claim Trump is a democrat.

By the way, did you know that under RNC rules a candidate's delegates could be stripped from him at any time and for any reason and the candidate would have no recourse?

To them, he "acts" like a Democrat.  My response is "So what"?

He's no Alinsky Socialist.  He loves our Capitalist system.

The United States that I know and love is in serious cardiac distress.   Donald Trump is the only one that can save her.

My solution is to have him be POTUS with a super majority of Republicans in both chambers, with an ever-increasing Conservative membership as a counter-balance.

whatever be your goal.

Thanks for putting a name to it. I always thought of it as kindergarten arguing.
