If Trump isn't a conservative, then why do virtually all of the most rabid conservatives strongly support Trump?
Because they are either not conservatives....OR, more accurately the current meaning of being conservative is "give me free money money and add to the debt and deficit for others".....
Since, by the actual definition, conservative means keeping things the way they "were" - well, that's been the trend for a while. Since Reagan to a degree, but in high gear since GWB tax cuts from debt and deficit.
Follow the money. For every conservative in power it's about money. None of them are poor - or even middle class. They all feed at the through.
And he released 100s of Bin Laden's henchmen to kill again Which Obama was it? The Obama that went on the Middle Eastern "Apology Tour" to the Muslim world, or the Obama that helped destroy thousands of Muslim lives in Libya, Syria, and Yemen
I voted for Johnson, but the fact is that trump is still a better choice than hitlery...
the last 3 "republican" POTUS' have been quite liberal.... both bush's were very liberal, even though they had a "R" next to their name
its like our former Mayor of NYC..Mike "the blooming idiot" Bloomberg...a democrat who changes party to get voted, then changes party again
As far as who we got stuck with, that pretty much sums it up. However like him or not Trump is no idiot. As a complete political outsider what he did was masterful in it's own right in beating out all of his competitors and going on to win the presidency. In a way he kind of made fools of them all. Here you have all of these career politicians who's lifelong desire was to become POTUS. Then along comes Trump out of nowhere to clinch the prize. You can be sure that the resentment and personal animosity runs deep on both sides of the political spectrum. I just can't understand that for a man of his age and wealth why he'd want to put up with all of the crap he has to relentlessly put up with every day? More so than any other president within my lifetime.
Trump was my next to last choice ahead of Kasich. Once Trump secured the Republican nomination, I really thought that there was no way in hell that he could win the general election. Especially because of his behavior and attitude during the primaries towards his competitors. But staying home during the primaries and on Election Day was never a viable option.
I wanted either Cruz or Carson. I ended up voting for Cruz.
Indeed the fact is that anyone on the Republican ticket would be better than the criminal, pathological lying b**ch from Chicago/Arkansas/New York or the little Communist curmudgeon from Vermont. But then again I have never, or never would vote for ANY Democrat no matter who they nominate for ANY public office. I've had more than my fill of both them and their policies when I was living in New York. I thank God that I'm now 2474 miles away from that in the Great State of Arizona.
As for Trump he's been true to his word in nominating and having had confirmed by the senate Constitutionalist justices to the federal judiciary along with SCOTUS with more to come. That alone was worth voting for him. That will have more of an impact on the future of this country long after Trump is out of office. That and the fact that the mainstream media has been relentless in it's piling on of Trump and his family is reason enough for me to vote for him again. Only this time enthusiastically.
If Trump isn't a conservative, then why do virtually all of the most rabid conservatives strongly support Trump?
Probably for the same reason why virtually all of the most rabid Liberals strongly supported Obama, Clinton or any other Democrat for that matter. You see it works both ways.
4 people sentenced to prison
7 guilty pleas
37 people and entities charged
199 criminal counts
When a large chunk of Trump's inner circle is in jail, served time or has been indicted, isn't that an obvious factual clue that the entire Trump White House is crooked, corrupt and criminal, including the president himself?
What's it going to take for conservatives to finally admit that Trump is a corrupt con man and Republicans should no longer support him?
Because they have a serious identity crisis and don't have much else going for them.

You know what they say about people who live in glass houses? You certainly fit the bill. Oh, by the way Andersen offers a great deal on windows.

Disgraced politicians come in all shapes and sizes. No matter what your political affiliation, this list of corrupt Democrats proves that no party is safe from corruption. These are Democratic politicians with criminal records; they have been found guilty in a court of law. The United States is a republic, which means law is king.

Back in 2018 they ran a poll in 48 GOP districts and the majority picked their own party as being more corrupt.
So... yeah... obviously a serious identity crisis from within...
Here's the last 50 years of presidential administrations:
Quote:
Obama (D) – 8 yrs in office. Zero criminal indictments, zero
convictions and zero prison sentences. So the next time somebody
describes the Obama administration as “scandal free” they aren’t
speaking wishfully, they’re simply telling the truth.
Bush, George W. (R) – 8 yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16
convictions. 9 prison sentences.
Clinton (D) – 8 yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. One conviction.
One prison sentence. That’s right nearly 8 yrs of investigations. Tens
of millions spent and 30 yrs of claiming them the most corrupt ever
and there was exactly one person convicted of a crime.
Bush, George H. W. (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One
conviction. One prison sentence.
Johnson (D) – 5 yrs in office. Zero indictments. Zero convictions.
Zero prison sentences.
So, let’s see where that leaves us. In the last 53 years, Democrats
have been in the Oval Office for 25 of those years, while Republicans
held it for 28. In their 25 yrs in office Democrats had a total of
three executive branch officials indicted with one conviction and one
prison sentence. That’s one whole executive branch official convicted
of a crime in two and a half decades of Democrat leadership.
In the 28 yrs that Republicans have held office over the last 53 yrs
they have had a total of (a drum roll would be more than appropriate), 120 criminal indictments of executive branch officials. 89 criminal
convictions and 34 prison sentences handed down. That’s more prison
sentences than years in office since 1968 for Republicans. If you want
to count articles of impeachment as indictments (they aren’t really
but we can count them as an action), both sides get one more. However,
Clinton wasn’t found guilty while Nixon resigned and was pardoned by
Ford (and a pardon carries with it a legal admission of guilt on the
part of the pardoned). So those only serve to make Republicans look
even worse.
trumps indictments are piling up too... Those are some pretty impressive numbers for the GOP!
Durka derr.

Show us anything (besides a 30+ year investigation that produced bupkis) to back up your claim? There's certainly nothing close and they've had a WHOLE lot longer to look. Sorry, we are not taking Clinton corruption on "faith". Sure, she's a ruthless lady and Bill even more so, but just about any national political player is.

Just for the hell of it I looked it up. Wikipedia lists 26 Democrats and 18 Republican federal officials convicted of corruption offenses. Those are some pretty impressive numbers for the Democrats! I guess we can go tit for tat all day? But it was you who cast the first stone.

Are Republicans More Corrupt Than Democrats ... - the meme ...
memepoliceman.com/...republicans-more-corrupt-than-democrats
This study looked at corruption charges, including state and local politicians, under periods of the Clinton and Bush years. In total, the study found 133 Democrats prosecuted for corruption charges compared with just 51 Republicans (page 19).
Conclusion
While the statistics cited in these memes appear to be correct, they do not prove in any way that Republicans are more corrupt than Democrats. Using different methodologies, one could just as easily show that Democrats are more corrupt. Instead, what should be illuminating is to peruse those Wikipedia pages and see how many scandals and convictions there are on both sides. That should be enough to make one hesitant to become a cheerleader for either party.
Druka derr. Whatever the hell that means?
