Because in liberalism there is no "we". We understand our own thoughts end in our own heads.

Remember the famous saying "I don't belong to any organized political party, I'm a Democrat" (Will Rodgers, I think).????

Trump isn't conservative. Conservatives dont vote to increase spending. Anything to cover up for the fact that progressive policies are failures. Any wonder why the OP wont discuss policy?
I agree with you that Trump is not a conservative. He's not a liberal, either. He's an opportunist. The thing is, there are an awful lot of people who call themselves conservatives who voted for him, support him, and, if running for office, have sought his endorsement, and plenty of people who consider any conservative who opposes him to be a RINO. Perhaps you should take up your complaint with them, rather than the OP, who seems to be guilty of no crime other than taking these folks at their word.

If these people called out Trump in his game it would ruin their fantasies of being like him.
I'll call out trump all day long on being a slimy business man and and misogynistic. But not nearly as bad or hypocritical as these guys. Trying to make Trump to be as bad as Democratic killers and serial Rapists is pretty ridiculous. But, in a Democrats mind, Obama actually deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.

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?



When the hard left finally admit they are communists.

One awful possibility is that they actually like the corruption.

Some men admire Trump's brazen crotch-grabbing, and in the same way, maybe they like the idea that Trump managed to stay ahead of the law (so far) with all his illicit goings-on. Trump himself admired gangsters.

It would take a brave citizen to admit he was wrong and had been duped by a con-man. Probably most people can't bring themselves to do that.

A whole person can. But on the hand no person of integrity would admire such a clod. My late father used to quickly change the channel when he would see Trump on TV and while shaking his head laughing he would say "what a putz". I agree with you, Trump attracts creeps.

I don't smoke...it does't agree with me. Either does booze.

Terrible. I know.....I wish! It's legal here fully now and I can't even partake...

But I do know that Trump is a con man. I lived 6 miles from Atlantic City while he turned it into a Ghost Town after taking the money from taxpayers, contractors, investors, bondholders and the like.

Bingo I used to live in NJ and we knew about his bankruptcies, all you have do is fly to Atlantic city and see his empty hotels and casino. Funny in the northeast we just saw him as a entertainer who would show up on the Howard stern show, but to white right America he was seen as presidential candidate. "David dennison " is nothing more than a self promoter.
