Like all other demagogues, Donald Trump is all things to all people. There's nothing liberal about him. There's nothing Christian about him. We liberals are the first to recognize him for the political fraud that he is, and he has broken with us forever. He wants us irrelevant forever. Conservative Christians will find out how un-Christian he is should he be elected, and very fast.
I would far prefer to see Mitt Romney getting a Reagan-1984 win of re-election than see Donald Trump get elected barely.
America really needs some sane, humane conservatism, the sort that recognizes that the common man needs something worthy of conserving. Like bank accounts and low-cost undergraduate education. That sane conservatism promotes small-scale entrepreneurialism with tax laws that favor small-scale business over vertically-integrated, monopolized trusts and cartels. That sane conservatism promotes high-quality education that keeps promotes rational thought and selfless conscience that allows people to recognize demagogues like Donald Trump for the untrustworthy liars that they are instead of wish-fulfillment.
Take nothing for granted. Donald Trump tells us that the Democrats will rig the 2016 Presidential election. That should warn all of us of ho0w he intends to be elected. He will need to rig the election to become President.
