PREACH.  Especially when many of them are less conservative on many issues than the ones who oppose him and simply have a tribalistic and brainwashed worldview now where Trump defines conservatism for all.  Bullshlt, if you ask me.

Then what's your take on this little poll?



Aren't we Democrats so nice for saying Trump doesn't represent mainstream conservatism, rather a fringe movement instead? Time to jump ship, RINO.

TBH the most surprising thing there is that people 65+ are familiar with the term "Alt-Right".

I was not a devoted trump supporter, but I still support him. I feel hes actually accomplishing quite a lot and especially doing an excellent job appointing young, smart, conservative judges all over the federal court levels

I mean, doesn't affect me, really.  People in whatever party are free to be terrible without it changing my mind much, honestly.

The phrase is now used on TV news outlets, so why wouldn't they be familiar with it?

Is it? I assumed it was still mostly internet term. I guess that's what I get for not watching TV. Tongue

Well, CNN is on at the sandwich place where I get lunch and have heard it a few times, and I know ABC had a 20/20 special entirely on the 'alt-right.'

A lot of what RFayette said, but he has been fairly successful (apart from the Obamacare fiasco) from a policy standpoint.  I just try to ignore everything he says and only look at what he does- and, by that standard, he has done a great job.

Do you ever see yourself caring about how vile of a person he is? Is that ever going to factor?

I get that policy matters at the end of the day, but there have to be limits. I'd rather deal with the reality of a President Romney or Rubio then have to toss out my integrity for some Democratic Trump. This is what I can't understand about some conservatives, particularly religious ones. It's like Trump was created in a lab to see how just how much people would tolerate, and so far, it's like none of it matters.

People say this all the time, but I don't really believe that this is how they'll play out the scenario.

Why did partisan Republicans stick with Trump, knowing what he was like?  They hoped he's be a "Signer-In-Chief", approving the bills a GOP Congress would pass.  The problem here is that when push comes to shove, there are some Republicans who are skittish on "reforms" they were all for when Obama would veto them, but are opposing now that enactment into law would be a sure thing if passed.

This is why folks will put up with Trump; the obstacle is their own Congress.  Trump'll sign whatever the GOP Congress gives him.

I am getting less and less supportive by the day.  My values are as strong as ever, and I know I have to keep supporting him for my justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade, but I am just about ready to call for a primary challenge.
Why are you so obsessed with and passionate about abortion? You're unable to get pregnant.
I'm passionate about abortion because human life begins at conception.  At that point, a human life, with an eternal soul, begins.  And that's a point of HUMAN life that you and I were once at.

I do have a question:  If human life does not begin at conception, at what point does it begin?  It begins somewhere, does it not?  I'm willing to ponder, thoughtfully, folks who assert that human life begins at some other point if they'll tell me what that point is.

He thinks most of his base are racists who sympathize with Nazis. Hard to support someone who thinks so little of you.

It's easier to see the whole picture from the outside looking in.

For me, it has nothing to do with when human life begins, it has to do with terminating a fetus being no different from eating meat.

It's sort of like that time when a prominent businessman said that the sitting Republican president of the United States should be impeached.  Obviously, that ended his chances of ever being nominated by the party for major political office.  Oh wait, that's not how the story ended:

And then the GOP will fade into obscurity because Trumpism will be unelectable as baby boomers die and the Midwest loses more population in rural areas than in urban areas.

Stay classy, as always (though I'm sure you think displaying any form of class is too "establishment," "elitist" or maybe even "neoconservative," haha).  Your.  Politics.  Are.  Dying.  And thank God.

I don't think 46% of the electorate and an inability to pass an agenda is a Party you guys want to have. Seems like the Bush - GOP congress from 2002-2006 was able to hold their majorities for longer (I guess we'll see in 2018) and had a relatively coherent agenda that they were able to set and largely pass.
The infighting is what is killing the party.  It's one of the major reasons I dislike the Tea Party.  In America, big-tent parties are how you win.

It's just a big ego match at this point.

What about real conservatives (i.e. not the RINO Never Trumpers or the RINO Trumpists)?  You know, the people who actually agree with everything in the official GOP platform?
