Donald Trump is to a conservative as Bugs Bunny is to Sylvilagus floridanus

What I am saying is that he is no conservative. He isn't running as a conservative, either. He is running as a cartoon caricature of a conservative.

But what does it say about conservatives that they seem to be buying the fraud?

Sorry, I don't know how to post a picture to DU, but there is a picture of Sylvilagus floridanus at

for the xenophobia against Mexicans and Middle Easterners. He just wants all the money. Abortion won't stop him from getting it. Dissing LGBT people won't stop him from getting it. He'll just use whatever will get him all the money. Like perpetual war, especially perpetual war against ideas, e.g., War on Drugs.
