Trump - a statesman? Shirley, you jest. :biglmao:

Trump is not, never has been, and will never be a conservative. He is a former liberal Democrat who has rebranded himself as a populist Republican. IF he runs in 2020, he will once again be the lesser of two evils. That's all.

And you think this is somehow a revelation into your particular bias... in what way? You were an admitted #NeverTrumper, were you not?

He didn't rebrand himself anything. He had a change of heart, an awakening as it were, the sort of which has thus far despite your oft quoted conservative manifesto, eluded you. Now, I grant you he has not shown to be a 'fiscal' conservative as yet, but if allowed to govern perhaps the realized economic growth will reign in the deficit enough to see some fiscal conservatism as well. His policies are nonetheless, conservative.
