I know people have become conservative lately because of all the issues with entitlement. A good friend of mine was extremely liberal last year and now is a conservative. It is possible. To say Trump is a hard line conservative is a stretch for sure but I also believe he has been more of an independent believing there are good qualities on both sides of the fence, much like I do and many others. In my mind any one who claims they only believe in the values of one party is part of this countries problem, and congress too. The stall on passing important bills has been the strong divide there and the lack of working together on what is reasonable.
Do you not believe anything the democratic party has to offer in values is justified and a good thing for the USA?
The Democratic party in it's current form, no. They now are hard left and that's about all.
Leaving a party like that is understandable but again Trump has laid no foundation for many of his present positions. His speech and replies are always very shallow and give no confidence in his understanding and belief in the issues that he now supports. He has refused serious debate and the reason for that seems obvious. Does he even understand and believe in the Constitution? Does he ever speak about it?
Trump is relying on beating down opponents with unrelenting outrageous style over substance. That unfortunately is the stuff of a cult of personality.
Have I taken the time to think this through? Yes. Did I like what Trump was doing initially in this race? Yes. Did he totally turn me away as his tactics, lack of depth and absent conservative principles became clear? Yes.
