The "Conservative" Brand

[kentuck]

Since the election of Ronald Reagan, Republicans have proudly declared themselves "conservatives". But, in this election, their "pro-life", pro-evangelical, pro-family, pro-war positions are not working. They are losing to Donald Trump in the presidential race. "Conservatives" are losing big. Their brand simply does not sell anymore - not even in their own Party.

1. I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh but isn't he supportng

Trump? A friend tells me that Glenn Beck hates Trump. In some ways Hillary Clinton is more conservative than Trump.

2. I think Rush is supporting Cruz?

as the only true "conservative"...

3. Glenn Beck is too. I can't tolerate listening to either one. n/t

[kentuck]

4. I only listened a bit because I was curious to who he was supporting?

He's eased off on his Cruz support a little, perhaps attempting to give himself an out if Trump is the nominee?

5. They have never been conservatives

They are racist morons and the vast majority hate women

6. Well, of course Repubes never really were conservative at all

They were just greedy, mean spirited and small minded.

If they were truly conservative, they would recognize that unbridled personal and corporate greed is trashing the very basic environmental factors - water, air, food, etc. - that make life possible for them, their families, their children and their children's children.

But Repubes have never given a shit about that. They are radical greed heads who use the word "conservative" as a sneakyass cover for who they really are and what they are really doing to America and the world.
