I have more than a few conservatives friends and except for a couple tinfoil hat conspiracy nuts the all loath trump.
The man has no history of public service and has shown no interest in learning about the issues he holds such strong opinions on. His positions change from day to day because even though he holds strong and over the top opinions on almost all subjects he has taken little to no time to understand most of them. Look at his claims the not only would order our military to commit war crimes but they would follow him be he is a leader and people do what he tells them. is suspect someone who actually knew something about this issue pulled him aside and told him he that our generals have a little more backbone than the bootlickers he surrounds himself with and he had to walk it back. The man is no conservative and he really holds to no real position beyond trade wars and building a wall. He makes Kerry look sure and steady.
The Republican party did not underestimate Trump, he is exactly who they thought he was, they just over estimated the public's ability to see through a thinly veiled con game. Trump has 69 year history of not caring about anyone not named Trump so I find it shocking that anyone would think he suddenly wants to be the champion of the working man.
