Of those that don't, you have guys like KJ that make financial contributions and vote to maintain a Republican Senate that allows Trump to do what he does. A guy with his platform might well run as a Republican in Nevada. KJ criticizes Trump and is branded a lib. I believe that Mickey has stated that he doesn't believe in lowering taxes, is good with our mix of socialism/capitalism, and supports 1st trimester abortions which accounts for about 90%. He supports Trump though and gets to stay in the club and avoid the hated Lib label. A guy with his platform could probably run as a Democrat in Montana. I apologize to KJ and Mickey if I'm misrepresenting their positions and am willing to apologize for any unintended insult. I'm just suggesting that conservativism and Trump support is far less than a 100% correlation. In 2016 many people were reporting that Trump and Sanders were there top 2 choices for president. I don't think the divide is conservative vs liberal anymore. It's Trump vs not Trump.
I dunno, The Democratic Governor of NY State just got done bashing The Democratic Mayor of New York City.
I agree with monet, it’s definitly more conservative vs lib rather than Trump vs not Trump. Obviously, for shallow people like accountinquestion he’s NOT Trump all the way, because he doesn’t like that Trump married a non-American.

But for the majority of people it’s about policy. One of the main things Trump ran on was the immigration issue. Both parties ignored it. Trump stood for the law and stopping illegal immigration, which obviously had the Dems in a tizzy, since the Dems stand for lawlessness. And one of the Dems biggest voting blocks is illegal immigrants.

The religious right likes Trump better than George Bush senior, even though George Bush senior lived a more “Christian” life. But Trump has been far more conservative in his policies, which is what the religious right cares about.

People who care about America and what America used to stand for, freedom, like Trump. People who don’t like freedom are mostly liberal Dems.
