I find this one so funny. What "conservative principles" has Trump betrayed?
Pro life? Lower taxes? Reduced regulatory burden? Pro law and order? Pro manufacturing and business? Oh wait--he's the first Republican President to actually uphold any of these since Reagan.
No, the "conservative principle" is apparently that people on the right should always bend over being nice to the liberal media and never make fun of their opponents, especially on Twitter.
... Yet I can't find that in a Republican platform from any time in history. Almost like the Bush 1&2 crew just made it up from whole cloth to excuse their fake "conservatism" of the past 30 years.
... And that's the line for the old Bush crew, eh? That's the "conservative principle" they hold most dear and are willing to abandon the entire Republican party and vote for universal healthcare and open borders for?
K. Sure. Makes total sense. Not hilarious or ironic at all. Nope.
I think Trump is far more conservative than any other major republican figure of the 20th century, with the obvious exception of my username. But that doesn't mean he can't be attacked from the right for his spending. And coming back with "yeah but Bush was just as bad on spending" is not a strong counter.
All that said, you gotta respect Trump for being apparently the only man on earth who is willing and able to stand up and try to halt the madness, both domestically and foreign policy wise.
I used to joke around like "lol how funny would it be if he were like a batman figure, and his twitter persona is like the decadent bruce wayne he uses to catch people off guard" but I've pretty much come to believe that about him unironically.
I had one guy on fb say that Trump's just "using" the Christian community for their votes and that's one of the reasons he's not voting for him. Mind you this guy is VERY anti-abortion and conservative in general. Blows my mind.
Conservative Catholic here. There has not been a single president in US history that has stood up for pro-lifers like Donald Trump has.
It’s unbelievable that he is the first president to speak at the March for Life. That’s an easy 100k+ lifetime votes just sitting there on the table for any president to take. All they had to do is step outside their front door and say that they don’t like abortion. And to this day, Trump has been the only president with the guts to do it.

The national debt has grown by trillions. Gov't spending has only increased. Nothing conservative about that.

god I wish a party took this seriously (well libertarians do but...) but we're well off from this becoming mainstream

But what blows my mind is not just Trumps words, but his actions he's done to actually protect religious freedom and yet people still don't like him
He banned bump stocks
he betrayed the conservative principle of pretending to conserve things while getting reemed in the ass by the D's
