Summary: Donald Trump’s cult of personality is not enough to persuade conservatives to vote for him. Trump promotes Richard Nixon’s domestic policies and George McGovern’s foreign policy. What’s conservative about that? Trump isn’t owed the full support of the Republican Party because he only got 42% of the Republican vote. If he wants the other 58%, he needs to earn it. And he can earn it by telling conservatives how he will fight for them. He is one of the weakest nominees in the history of the Republican Party. Browbeating conservatives into supporting him is not going to work. Conservatives don’t want to hear Donald Trump catering to liberals, they want to hear him talk about private property rights, support the Constitution, and support Reagan economic policies. After that, the battle of Iwo Jima should be a reminder to Americans why their rights and this country are so important. The men who died there did not die for us to throw away our liberties or cave in to what is popular.
