His first big lie was that he was a "conservative".

He's no conservative.

He does shit to keep enough conservatives believing he is conservative. Just as the crap he does with the Bible and religion (and God), to keep the Evangelicals happy.

He has already spent more money than any President in history. The Fed Chairman said the government would spent whatever it took to keep the stock market up. It looks like about $6 trillion should do the trick?

But, they are part of his base and he understands that he can blow smoke up their asses all day long.

It is a tragedy, the way the Republicans in Washington have fallen for it. If they lose in a landslide, Trump will just point at them and say "Suck-er-r-rs!"

He will say that it was his plan all along. To destroy the Republican Party and that is why they are so unpopular. Check his record. He has given more $$ to Democrats than to Republicans. He will take credit for the Democratic victory.

That the way he lies...er...I mean, rolls.

He isn't the cause of their corruption and downfall, he's just a symptom.

in the way the term describes most republican party members.

Don't try to make his supporters out to be victims being used by him. Conservatives in the US have always been bigoted hypocrites hiding behind jesus.

If they realize that he really HAS played them just to enrich himself.

I doubt if the conservative big bosses would ever admit it though. It's been my contention for awhile that when he loses, they'll come out of the woodwork and say "He wasn't really one of us." Trust me, they will find SOME way to blame Trump on the libtards. Mark my words.

At one time it could have meant something more thoughtful, but now it's just a banner for raging racist selfish jerks. Fuck conservatism.

7. Yes, he IS a conservative. Just because he's not housebroken doesn't mean he's not one.

They drew a nation of mini-Trumps under their banner. They don't get to disown him.
