This question can be for anyone but I am specifically interested in what conservatives who support Trump think he will do if he were to be elected President.
His entire campaign seems to be based on his claim that he will build a wall at the border. Well and he does wear a cheap hat with the word's "Make America Great Again" embroidered on the front. Is that it? Is that what makes conservatives and evangelicals support him???
Trump is pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, supports eminent domain, supports government controlled health care, says he looks forward to working with Democrats in congress, etc. I see little reason to think he would be anything but liberal in office.
So I ask..... why would a conservative support Donald Trump?? :idunno:
Sorry for my lateness.
1) I believe in this republic, I am a republican, small r, particularly an American republican and not a European republican. So I'm conservative. Trump is not a risky bet, it's a very small bet with the potential to be a huge win. Little downside.
2) I like "Make America Great Again."
3) He's
The Donald. He's as American as McDonald's.
4) You're fired.
5) He's flippantly pro-Second Amendment. We need that. We recognize that the right to live, or right to life (pro-life), is the tree and the RKBA is its trunk. We need to tone it down a little, we need to take the gun issue down a few notches. We at least need a national conversation on guns. Right now we're lining the walls of the dance hall yelling across the room at one another, but we need to dance. Treating the RKBA flippantly, in a cocky manner, bragging to the world about how much safer we are here than anywhere else, that terrorists have a lot more to think about in America than in Europe, because Europeans are unarmed. I could have said "disarmed," but that's passive aggressive. I want to dance, not hurl insults.
Anyway, I think that we America can be great again. Trump just wants that to happen, whatever that means to him, and I agree with the words, according to how I read and hear them, and I believe in the republic. The republic can and will survive Donald Trump. So bring him on.
Besides, you think I would root for Clinton? As a conservative?
He claims to be a Christian. I'm not numbering this one, because who knows what he believes. But he got the papacy to invoke him, and his campaign instantly rhetorically trounced the papacy, pointing to obvious hypocrisy, and then we got to hear what some of the other candidates claimed to believe. One of them scolded the Pope for calling into question someone's Christian faith, that not even the Pope can do that. I thought it was well said, but I forget who said it. It wasn't a Catholic. Kasich maybe. But then again maybe it was a Catholic. It was informative, and Trump's claim that he'll build a wall isn't the worst idea I've ever heard, for much the same reason that the Vatican has a wall.
