He's a snake oil salesman selling people a bill of goods. Based on his prior statements, he believes barely anything he's now spewing. For example, he's previously on the record for being for nationalized health care and and against gun rights. (Those are just two quick examples.). The practical impact is that, if elected, he will accomplish nothing as he has neither the courage of his convictions nor the support of either side of the Congress. The bottom line is that any proposal will be DOA.
(I really don't care if he's "conservative" as I probably wouldn't meet most of the GOP's definition either. It bothers me that people are buying his bullshit. The same people who have spent the last 20 years labeling anyone that doesn't agree with them a RINO are now supporting the biggest RINO in the race. That bothers me.)
