Trump's success is that he is not a conservative!
Stop the presses, is this really news? Or, more importantly, does this really matter?
Foolishly, the clueless Republican leadership and its donors think it does matter,
believing we will continue to be fooled.
Republicans have gained a lot of political capital on the word conservative. The party
now has more state legislature majorities then it ever had, 70 out of 99 states
chambers, more than half the governor-ships, majorities in both chambers of Congress
thanks to labeling itself "conservative".
But a label is meaningless if performance does not prove its validity.
And since the Republican Party want to remind us what Trump is not, its equally
appropriate for us to know what the party is, and based on its performance, it too,
is not conservative!
Republicans cannot speak about limited governance while allowing govt. to grow with new programs, agencies, regulations and legislation.
The party cannot speak about independent states while mandating states submit to
Washington or lose rightful federal funding.
Nor can the party preach conservatism while it continually approves annual deficit budget
and increasing national debt each year.
If this is conservatism....than dictionary definition needs updating.
