For the past month, and with few signs of letting up…Trumpers, some of them Conservatives…most of them Trump trolls…shills for the liberal/socialist machine…continue to try and sway voters to vote Trump or NOTHING in November 2016.
Trump, they claim, is THE Conservative answer we need.
I will say this much right here at the top of this article…should Trump either secure or purchase the Republican nomination, he will have my vote because I…unlike Trump himself…WILL support whoever the republican nominee happens to be.
However…
Trump is not the answer we, as Conservatives, have been seeking all these years.
As Conservatives, we have held, for years, to a certain set of standards we have wanted in a candidate. We want a solid Conservative. ..someone who has exhibited solid Conservative practices over a considerable time span from which we can see the candidate’s true motives, true agenda and voting record.
Is Donald Trump a fit regarding that standard?
No…no he is not.
As far as Trump’s voting record…it is, at best, sketchy.
While Donald trump has not held elective office (and I’m not saying that as a strike against him) he has voted IN elections…or has he?
In the last 6 presidential primaries…Donald Trump did not vote at all.
In 2002…Donald Trump did not vote…at all.
Over the past 15 years…Donald Trump has failed to cast a vote in most city or state elections.
Some of those voting no-shows by Trump were because he had changed his voter registration but, for the most part, in elections where he WAS eligible…in which he could have voted…he did not.
Not much of a record from which to vet far too many Conservative’s one-and-only candidate is it?
Now then…during the first GOP debate earlier this month…Trump was asked a direct question…”When did you become a Republican?”
Perhaps the question should have been even more direct as in…”When did you LAST become a Republican?”
You see, that is yet another serious problem that Trumpers, liberal/socialist or duped Conservatives, don’t want to answer any more than Trump wanted to respond during that debate but…given his lack of dignifying that question WITH a response…I’ll do it for him as best I can.
Donald Trump was…in 1987…a Republican however…
In 1999…Donald Trump changed his party affiliation to…Independent.
Then…in 2000…a presidential election year…Donald Trump jumped over party fences again and registered as a Reform Party voter.
He wasn’t finished…
In 2001, after the Reform Party’s failure to make much noise…Donald Trump registered as a…DEMOCRAT.
That didn’t really last very long either as, in 2009…Donald Trump registered as a Republican again.
Wait…there’s more…
The one-and-only…rock solid Conservative candidate of far too many duped Conservatives out there made yet another party switch when…in 2011, just a year before another presidential election…Donald Trump registered as “Independent, No Party” but that wasn’t the end of it either because…sometime between then and now, we’re not sure exactly when…Donald Trump once again registered as a Republican.
There is a rather p
oignant quote, attributed by many to Alexander Hamilton and by some, to a Chaplin…Peter Marshall in 1947 that states…“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.”
Obviously, by his lack of a voting record and his revolving door of party affiliations…Donald Trump stands for nothing and far, FAR too many Conservatives are falling for it but why? What is it that has so many Conservatives jumping on the Trumper’s bandwagon?
Because he says things they agree with?
It seems so but there is an obvious reason and explanation for that too…
Trump talks in sound bytes. I believe he has paid people to join social media’s Conservative sites, read Conservative blogs, like this one and attend Conservative 
functions or events to see what, exactly, we Conservatives want. His team then catalogs those talking points, deciphers what the top Conservative priorities are, and reports their findings back to their boss and he’s off to the races.
Donald Trump made his first big splash by offering a sound byte regarding illegal aliens…said he would build a wall along the entire 2500 mile southern border and he would make Mexico pay for that wall.
Has he offered how he would make Mexico pay for that wall? No…not yet but why should he. Conservatives heard what they wanted to hear and Trump knew that’s all it would take. In fact, since that early sound byte, Trump has backed off somewhat and now says the wall will only be built in specific places…not the full 2500 miles of southern border and when that tidbit started gaining notice…Trump issued another illegal alien sound byte…that he would deport all illegal aliens…something else Conservatives wanted to hear and something else left unexplained by Trump.
How is he going to deport them? There are, by some estimates, more than 20 million 
illegal aliens in the U.S. and nobody knows for sure where a vast portion of them even are. How does Trump intend to find those nobody else can find and how does he expect to deport them all?
He’s not saying because…he said only what Conservatives wanted to hear and that is that.
Now Trump is a good businessman. He’s worth 9 or 10 billion dollars but, during the first debate, he admitted to filing bankruptcy for 4 of his business ventures…using what he rightfully calls a “broken system” to do so and also admitted that he was PROUD of the fact that in doing so…he made “lots of money.”
It that the sort of stand-up practice we, as Conservatives, want in a candidate? Someone who uses a broken system, rather than voting for those who could FIX the system, to line his own pockets? It THAT the principled candidate for which we, as Conservatives, have been looking?
No…I think not.
Now when it comes to our military…Donald Trump has a plan.
If, as a president, Trump sends our military to fight…he says he’ll make sure to keep the spoils of war and specifically, Trump claims that if we go to war to defend some oil-rich nation…we’ll keep the oil. He says if we’re going to put American military lives on the line, we’re going to get paid for doing so.
Is that what we, as Conservatives, have been wanting in a Commander in Chief? Someone who will turn our proud military into a mercenary force…sent to far-flung places in order to turn a profit?
Really? THAT’S what we want or is that again, just some sound byte we want to hear?
I suspect the latter because…once again…Trump has offered absolutely no explanation for…how do we secure the oil fields and how do we protect them in the long run…how do we protect the shipping OF that mercenary procured oil?
Have we, as Conservatives, really become the “don’t-bother-us-with-the-details-just-tell-us-what-we-like-to-hear” party?
Another thing we, as Conservatives, have been looking for is a candidate…a president…who will protect and defend the Constitution so…is Donald Trump that candidate?
Again…no he is not.
All of Trump’s sound bytes begin with…”I will” do this and “I will” do that…while left out 
of the Trump equation is the fact, a pesky fact for Trumpers, that no president can constitutionally do the things Trump claims HE will do without the consent of Congress as per the Constitution. Oh, sure, Obama has managed to bypass Congress over and over again and I’m sure Trump has a gold plated Montblanc and iPhone but do we, considering how riled we, as Conservatives have been when Obama does it, really want another arrogant, congress-usurping pen and phone president?
Far too many Conservatives, those who have railed against and shown great disdain for everything Obama, Hillary and Pelosi…including the blind sheep followers OF Obama have themselves, BECOME the blind sheep followers of a candidate, Donald Trump, who has supported not only Pelosi but Hillary AND her campaign fund laundering Clinton Foundation.
As I have said, time and time again…get behind whichever candidate you so choose and support that candidate all the way to the primaries but…if your candidate of choice fails to gain the nomination…get behind the nominee and win in 2016 but…I see way too many Conservatives…duped Conservatives out there who are already stating it’s Trump no matter WHO gets the nomination.
Why?
So the so-called Conservatives can then claim that they split the vote because they stood on principle and voted their conscience? So they cam claim they didn’t vote for e RINO?
If that’s the case, I submit that their principles are severely flawed and their conscience is telling them to do whatever it takes to make sure yet another socialist is inaugurated in January 2017 because that WILL be the outcome of their actions and Trump, by virtue of his ever-changing party affiliation, IS a Republican In Name Only.
As Conservatives, our top priority for the 2016 election SHOULD be doing
whatever it takes to ensure there is NOT a liberal/socialist being inaugurated in January 2017 and we should also realize that even the WORST candidate in the Republican field is eminently better that the best the liberal/socialists have to offer which is why I, stated near the top of this article ”should Trump either secure or purchase the Republican nomination, he will have my vote because I…unlike Trump himself…WILL support whoever the republican nominee happens to be.”
As a Conservative…I stand for something while others…Trumpers, being duped by trolls…are falling for anything.
“- – We, as Conservatives, have been looking for is a candidate…a president…who will protect and defend the Constitution so…is Donald Trump that candidate? No president can constitutionally do the things Trump claims HE will do without the consent of Congress as per the Constitution!!!”….
I’m not for Trump or any candidate as of yet. I’m listening, learning & thinking. But THIS statement is silly…. ‘NO president can constitutionally do the things Trump claims HE will do, etc’.
Seriously? Obama has been doing that for 6+ yrs! With all due respect, what planet have you been living on Mr. Andresen?
I’d like to add that just like the author stated… IF Trump is the Republican candidate I will most certainly vote for him, NOT because I’m a Republican since I’m not (dropped out of the party about a year before Obama was voted in). And I have a real problem with Trump not taking the same oath that to date (as far as I’m aware) every other candidate has taken… NOT to split the ticket. That (IMO) is a big problem for Trump. If someone won’t take a simple oath or make a clear promise on something it’s usually because they honestly can’t OR they’re wishy-washy on the issue. That really doesn’t bode well for Trump and he truly needs to clear that up a.s.a.p.
Joanne…as I stated in the article…”Oh, sure, Obama has managed to bypass Congress over and over again and I’m sure Trump has a gold plated Montblanc and iPhone but do we, considering how riled we, as Conservatives have been when Obama does it, really want another arrogant, congress-usurping pen and phone president?” Now then Joanne…on what planet do YOU live where they don’t finish reading a paragraph?
Anderson you are the neo-conservative, the stooge of the neo-communists. You want what we have now, a one-party minority dictatorship. You are the looser CONservative who is not really a CONservative, but an enemy of the majority who favors minority parasite rule. They put you commie crap on the Tea Party, of which a traitor like you should not be welcome. Because your support of minority tyranny is the very basis of the new minority parasite controlling coalition which includes a large number of Conservative, you represent the dogma of the Oligarchs who finance phony conservative forums. That dogma is the insidious promotion of black racism and minority tyranny as a patriotic virtue.. I renounce you and all conservatives as enemies of freedom and stooges of minority dictatorship. I support Trump, and the Confederate Flag, but why explain these well thought out stances to a foolish stooge like you?
And you Jack, are an idiot…a transparent Trump troll but an idiot all the same.
Cruz seems to be a good man but his wife has high job at one of big banks. Paul backed Mitch McConnell in 2014 and for me they all have this or that. Oh and no more Bushes pls. If Jeb wasn’t in this race I’d be a whole lot happier but he is and Trump needs to win because he can. Let Let process be the process, no manipulation which is what I see this as
Barbara…You hold Cruz’s wife’s job against him and support Trump…who is a corporate bank in and of HIMSELF??? Now that’s a blind follower.
Now I do like Trump – not a final decision, but he forcefully advocates the key issues with which I agree. Obviously, since he leads the poles, many people are coming to support him. And we would like a landslide in 2016 since we have more Republican seats to defend than the Democrats have seats to defend. I do sympathize with Trump somewhat since his message is so greatly distorted by the evil Republican leadership. Another feature I like about Trump is that he is constitutionally eligible to run unlike some of the other Republican contenders.
They’re all Constitutionally eligible RCJ…each and every one of them.
Gop says we got to get behind the candidate that will/can WIN. Well what happened to that idea. Why doesn’t the party let the Primary happen instead of manipulating the Primary and then get behind the candidate whether it be Trump or otherwise. Can you present Troll names and photos of the trolls doing as you say. I witnessed manipulation in 2012 when Ron Paul drew crowds of ppl and it was nit reported. Iowa Caucus Ron Paul came in 2nd and it was not reported. Let the process be the process. If Republicans allowed and worse devised the plan to cover up Ron Paul, I am glad Trump is running. He has the money to beat this party at it’s game.
WRONG. Three of them are not. CRUZ, RUBIO, JINDAL.
A NBC has to be born in the US of TWO U.S. citizen parents.
Although born in the US, Rubio and Jindal’s parents were not US citizens at the time of their birth. Cruz was born in Canada. His mother did indeed confer her US citizenship to him but that makes him a US citizen, not a natural born US citizen. His father was not a citizen at the time of his birth. Persons who have dual citizenship are not NB citizens which the case of all three above-mentioned candidates.
USFROG…Not according to the 1st Congress of the United States…the contemporaries of our Founders and framers and, by the way, that was the ONLY time NBC has been defined as a matter of law.
Is Trump a perfect conservative? No… However, look at the track record of those alleged conservative Republicans out there! As soon as they get elected, their knees get weak and they start voting like Democrats. I would rather have an ALPHA MALE who gets it wrong sometimes than the spineless, little, “perfectly conservative” worms that occupy the Republican ranks today. Boehner and McConnell should be hung beside “their” commander-in-chief in the public square at high noon!
