Is Donald Trump a Conservative or a RINO?

If you've been watching the Republican presidential contest for the nomination, you will have noticed all the hype surrounding Trump. Early on, the common sentiment was that, "Don't be concerned; he's just a showman and will burn out soon."

Well folks, that didn't happen and the pundits are getting nervous. They're not sure why he is demonstrating such holding power. It's easy to see; he has tapped into a nerve common to the average Joe and Joan on the street.



He's talking about the issues that concern the common citizen. The established Republicans have long promised to tackle these issues. They include jobs, illegal immigration, the economy, crime, local and national political corruption, and more.

The professional politicians have a habit of making promises regarding these issues while on the campaign trail but once elected, they promptly forget and proceed glad-handing with the boys carrying the money bags.

Now that they are getting nervous they are crying, "Trump's not a real conservative!"

But how many true conservatives are really out there among the candidates or sitting in Congress? I can't find one except for Ted Cruz. Even though Republicans control both the House and the Senate, they continue to capitulate to the liberal Obama administration.

John Boehner was a huge disappointment as Speaker of the House. Paul Ryan showed promise early on but has since proven to be Obama's lap-dog.

Donald Trump scares them because he is not beholden to special interests, speaks his mind (coinciding with the average man and woman on the street) without worrying about political correctness, and is actually a financial success unlike the mainstream ruling class suckling the government teat.

It's impossible to say in advance how conservatively the Donald would run the country, but one thing's for sure. He couldn't do any worse than the current batch of RINOs. Let's make America great again.
