america is done with the "progressive" agenda..it's empty, shrill and doesn't reflect american values...
This isn't about Obama. This is about the Republicans offering up more credible alternatives for the Presidency than at any time in decades, and Republicans instead going bonkers over a TV personality with zero experience and no chance of winning the election. It's surprising that Trump supporters evoke Obama as having no experience as a reason to support Trump, given that Obama's lack of experience is a criticism used by conservatives.
Trump has supported and still supports progressive ideas. For example, he wants to raise taxes on rich people which conservatives have fought tooth and nail against for decades. He wants the government to restrict businesses from managing their supply chains - that's the tariffs and anti-China rhetoric - whereas conservatives have been telling us that government has to get out of the way of business. And if you think in any way he is a social conservative, I want to know what you're smoking, because you haven't been paying attention for the past four decades.
If you go issue by issue of all the Republican candidates, Trump probably comes out to the Left on average of all the candidates.
He has come out against illegal immigrants hard, which has provoked a visceral reaction from conservatives. He also wants to plunge America back into wars into the Middle East, conjuring up bizarre fantasies of seizing oil fields in Syria from ISIS with minimal American casualties, which I suppose is "conservative" but no serious conservative foreign policy hawk has supported. But I guess that's how policy is made when a candidate gets his military advice from "watching TV shows" as he stated on Meet the Press.
If you think that somehow Trump has a coherent conservative philosophy, you are engaging in massive cognitive dissonance.
