Do you feel the need to defend actions you wouldn't take or ideas you don't hold? I don't think so. FWIW, I think you fit much better in the pre-2015 GOP than you do today. If the recent CPAC convention is any indication, the GOP is eating their own. I'm baffled by the process, but I'm not a Republican. Maybe you can explain.
I'm not a resident of Red America. I think I've made ( I've been able make that very clear) that very clear to many people over the years. The majority of the Republican voters aren't Republicans (Republican loyalists). The majority are Conservatives of some sort or another like me who tend to vote Republican.
Which still begs the question. The Trump GOP and the pre-Trump GOP have little in common. In fact, some policy positions have switched 180 degrees. How do you feel about that? Are you still pro-GOP?
On most issues I lean blue, both against the GOP and Trump. Sure, a true conservative could be the same. In fact, I can sympathize with the true conservative over concerns about both the GOP and Trump.
