B-Large Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Shoulda quit his campaign a month ago Jeb Bush is on This Week whining on about Trump, and the new attack is he's not a conservative.... Is he? If he's not, what is he anyway? I don't know if I agree with Trump on everything, but it is wonderful to see spooners like Jeb and Hillary squirm while their money and pedigree in politics is proving useless to them... Good for America, go Bernie, go Donald... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 He's less conservative than Romney was, but unlike Romney, he's brash and doesn't try to hide from the fact that he's rich, and people seem to like him more than Romney because of it.

B-Man Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Is Donald Trump conservative? by Ben Shapiro I took only the first few lines of each issue ..........read it all here...http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/24/is-donald-trump-conservative-heres-the-rundown/ Immigration. After a career of flip-flopping on immigration (he ripped Mitt Romney in 2012 for being too harsh on illegal immigration and in 2013 said he hired illegals at his golf courses), Trump has famously taken the most right-wing position on illegal immigration in this race. I wrote about it when Trump released it on his website. Trump wants a wall, shutting down remittances garnered from illegal wages, and foreign aid cuts. He wants strong deportation policies and an end to birthright citizenship. Foreign Policy. Trump’s been all over the place here. He’s said we should leave the Islamic State to Russia and expressed sympathy for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, but also said that we should “bomb the s***” out of ISIS. Abortion. Trump says he’s pro-life. Bethany Blankley of Live Action News gives a solid roundup of the timeline: 1999: Trump says he is “very pro-choice” and said he wouldn’t ban partial birth abortion. January 2015: Trump says he is “pro-life, with the caveats. You have to have the caveats.” Religious Freedom. Trump pledges to uphold religious freedom but has not commented on the Indiana Religious Freedom and Restoration Act or any other similar act protecting religious practice in the face of leftist non-discrimination laws designed to quash religious observance. Entitlements. Unlike virtually all the other Republican candidates, Trump has said he wouldn’t touch entitlements. He says that any Republican attempts to touch these programs will end in electoral defeat. His website currently carries an article from The Daily Signal titled, “Why Trump Won’t Touch Your Entitlements.” Government Involvement In The Economy. Trump accuses Ted Cruz of being a Wall Street insider because his wife works for Goldman Sachs. Trump himself supported Obama’s 2009 stimulus, TARP, and the 2008 auto bailout. He said in 2009, “I think [Obama’s] doing very well. You do need stimulus and you do have to keep the banks alive.” He’s admitted over and over to paying elected officials to grease the skids on his deals – although, in fairness, he says that’s just how you have to work to get business done Education. Trump opposes Common Core but has flip-flopped on whether he’d do away with the Department of Education; he told the South Carolina Tea Party last year that he wouldn’t dump them completely Healthcare. Trump says he’d dump Obamacare but then praises the nationalized health care system of Canada and Great Britain. In 1999 and 2000 he endorsed nationalized health care openly; Tax Plan. Trump’s tax plan is certainly conservative. He proposes lowering the top tax bracket to 25 percent, drops the capital gains tax to 20 percent, dumps the death tax, and drops the corporate rate to 15 percent. Trade. Trump is for international tariffs, including an extraordinarily heavy tariff on Chinese goods, in the mistaken belief that this somehow helps the American economy. Guns. Trump has become progressively more pro-Second Amendment over time. His website states: “The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.” So, there you have it: Trump’s mixed record on conservatism, even at present, belies the notion that he sees eye-to-eye with the Tea Party. Actually, Trump is far more populist than conservative — which means he has appeal to blue-collar Democrats, but also that he may not reliably stand by conservative principles in office. In fact, given his repeated position switching, the safe bet is that anything he says today will changed based on convenience. That should not encourage any conservative thinking of Trump in the primaries. . This is why some Republican elites support Trump more than Cruz: they think Trump is performing, Cruz really means what he says. .

DC Tom Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We consider Obama and Hillary center right. Which is insane. Bill's a centrist. Hillary is ridiculously left. She just appears centrist, or center-right, occasionally because she's the ultimate opportunist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
