"You see, Trump lost the 2016 election because he wasn't a true conservative."

"McCain, oh boy. No, he wasn't a true conservative. He was way too soft with Obama."

"Romney? Good Lord. Romney wasn't really into it. He had no fire. He had no convictions. Romney was no true conservative."

"Trump... You know what I don't get about Trump? How so many voters fell for him in the beginning. I mean, he had no connection to the Republican Party or conservatism. He didn't care about our ideals in the slightest. It was all me-me-me. And then, in the general election, it all fell apart because Trump was definitely not a conservative."



"We need a REAL conservative next time. Like that republican President we had last time.
No, the other one.
No, the other one.
Reagan!"

Trump is even starting to make Reagan look like a progressive. He's the most conservative candidate the GOP has ever had.

All that's left for him to say is that he'd personally bulldoze every abortion clinic in the country and deport all Democrats.

Oh, that will be so sweet once Trump wins the primaries. Right now the GOP holds him at arm's length. But once he is their candidate, they will have to kiss and promote this madman and defend with a straight face everything he says.

"Racial profiling for Muslims and concentration-camps for illegal immigrants. That's totally american! Land of the Free!"
