Most conservatives are more interested in policy papers and their “principles” which include losing the country, rather than winning.
I have come to realize that anyone who would put the word principles in quotes when speaking of Conservatism doesn't Understand Conservatism at all.
I’d rather take someone who is 70 percent conservative that can actually win a national election
Your candidate has no record of Conservatism at all.
Are we anti PC or not?
I will reiterate yet again: The opposite of 'PC' is not 'Boorish Ass'.
Do conservative women want the same special treatment liberal women get? Do we still have a group that actually believes in traditional values, or just going to church every Sunday is enough for you?
'Traditional Values' do not include 'Boorish Ass' - In fact, 'Boorish Ass' offends traditional values... Especially those found in church on Sunday.
For years conservatives have bemoaned illegal immigration. How do you know he won’t do what that?
Because his record shows him to be a flaming liberal who uses cheap labor (to include H1-Bs).
And he has already waffled on immigration.
Do you want Americans to get their jobs back?
Do you think single-payer health care and taxing the rich will do that?
Do you want a strong response to Terrorism?
No, I want a cogent response to terrorism, which would be 'strong' incidentally. The schoolyard bully' approach doesn't breed confidence.
Free Trade, could the base be any clearer they don’t like it. Seems only true conservatives on the internet defend it. These same true conservatives work at nonprofit think tanks which don’t produce… anything.
The Conservative position is 'Fair Trade' ala Duncan Hunter Sr, in it's last occurrence, and ala Ted Cruz in this election.
For many Americans, things have just changed too much. This is bigger than true conservatism, Obama or Hillary. They see a country in decline and this is the last chance to stop it.
As I posed up-post - The author doesn't understand Conservatism... *nothing* is bigger than TRUTH.
Conservatism is a series of principles that we hold to be true and timeless.
Those who consider Conservative principles to be otherwise are not, by the very definition, Conservative.
