Or, dare one say, too ... liberal? www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/01/22/its-official-trump-doesnt-go-far-enough-leading-republicans-argue/ Now who would have thought that?

Uh, how do you get more conservative on some of Trump's stances? Being in favor of shooting illegal aliens down on sight?

Trump espouses views that are either populist or nationalistic, so he really could care less if they agree with conservative ideology. If he becomes president he will be guided by his sense of morality or amorality without regard of the impact that it has upon the citizens or their rights.

The article from the National Review is being discussed elsewhere and includes some memorable quotes:

He doesn't know the Constitution, history, law, political philosophy, nuclear strategy, diplomacy, [or] defense. -- Mark Helprin

He would be, unquestionably, the worst thing to happen to the American common culture in my lifetime. -- John Podhoretz

[Trump] is the living, breathing, bellowing personification of all the nasty characteristics Democrats routinely ascribe to Republicans. -- Michael Medved
