Just saying, kind of the pot calling the kettle black calling other political groups "reactionary". And honestly, it steals the left's thunder. If those who oppose the president were a bit more conservative about when they call the president out or display their hate, they might be taken more seriously. But the ultra-reactionary behavior of those on the left has caused most people to shrug off whatever "meltdown" story the left has put forward that day. Hard to take anyone seriously when they go crazy over even the smallest things. Save your outrage for the things that matter, and you will further your cause. Otherwise, most people will simply assume this is the latest left-wing meltdown story and move on.
Read up on some basic political science. Limbaugh and Hannity don't count. Learn what 'reactionary' means... and you'll find today's so-called "conservatives"

Obama convinced the left that he'd give them cheap, great healthcare along with $2500 back per family and the idiots believed him. The left is by far the easiest group of morons to con, the thousands of pink ***** hat wearing goons who protest things that haven't happened are a prime example of that fact.

Trump convinced the right that he would give them cheap, great healthcare, and great paying jobs digging coal and the idiots believed him.

(So he took away their healthcare, and poisoned their air and water)

The right is by far the easiest group of morons to con, the thousands of orange hat wearing goons who protest things that haven't happened are a prime example of that fact.

Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and watch while others make complete fools of themselves... now tap dance a little more for me or I'll tighten your leash again.
As if being born there makes any difference.

You’re there now. That’s all that matters. Conservative + Texan = “born slowed down.â€

I still have the exact same overpriced healthcare I had from what Obama screwed up our health insurance industry, most people are like me. I don't recall seeing anything in the news about poisoned air or water, when did that happen? I did however see a bunch of stories about better jobs but they were all over the country and certainly not just in coal mines.

I couldn't possibly be more proud of my "slowed down" lifestyle, I go out of my way to maintain it. Thanks for being aware.

You’re saying that Trump is a true conservative, right?
Trump is a political anomaly, and I have no idea where his real politics lie. But he is moving the country in a conservative direction, and his policies are conservative based.

Good. I’m glad that you’re proud of your congenital condition.

Either he’s a conservative or he isn’t. Why won’t you guys put him on record?

Is Trump a Conservative Republican?

Why is the name not mentioned in the OP Post!

Most likely an anti Trumper. Just the name of McJudas says enough.

I don't think his policies are conservative based. I thought conservatives were SO CONCERNED about the debt and the deficit?


Conservative were all about free trade and trade deals. They were tough on Russia and the party of 'family values'.


I see none of that in Trump.
