"I always did better when Independents could cross over, or frankly when Democrats could cross over."
Just now on MTP.
Trump's real base is non conservatives.
But, But, BUTT ( Yes I know about the extra T ), he's so conservative and everyone else has to be fake Conservative according to some of his voters...
Trump is even telling his own voters he is not Conservative at all. yeah he will give a few Conservative ideas to lure the gullible in but his stances have never been Conservative all the time.
Hell Hillary Clinton can act more Conservative than Trump, and that is very sad for the GOP.
Then again the Republican party was not founded by Conservatives and was actually founded by Progressive Liberals of that time and even today Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt, Ike, and Nixon would not be consider Conservative.
One thing that should be reminded the last true Fisacl Conservative President of this fine nation was Andrew Jackson, and he was a Southern Democrat, and no true Conservative has ever won on the Republican ticket.
The last one to win the Presidential Nomination was Goldwater, and Trump is no Goldwater...
