Good Question ... and not just because it is happens to be the name of my Blog site.
It's a good question because many of the so-called Republican Hierarchy are bailing or threatening to bail from the Party if, as it appears, Trump wins their Party's Nomination.
And this traitorous talk is getting much louder following his many victories and delegate gains in Super Tuesday.
As an aside, and for those of you keeping score, my preferred candidate Marco Rubio is now history though he will certainly hold on for the Florida Primary on the 15th of this month. His chances of winning there are slim to none.
Politics is a rough, dirty business.
Yesterday it was announced that outsider Dr. Ben Carson had decided to pack it in - in the face of Tuesday's results. He should have pulled the plug sooner but hopefully a nice spot can be found for him should a Republican Administration come into being following November's Election.
As a further aside, is it not ironic that this has happened to the Party that so desperately needs support from both Blacks and Hispanics?
But back to Trump.
And speaking of Ironic - is it not outright bizarre that the same Republican Hierarchy, which now is turning on Trump, demanded at the beginning of the race that Trump sign a declaration promising to support the eventual winner if he himself was not successful?
And now they are doing exactly what they had initially feared Trump might do?
'Hypocrites' anyone?
Some of you may rightly point out at this point that I myself came to the conclusion in my most recent Blog that I could not support Trump...since I do not like negative politics, but neither would I vote for 'Sails Close To The Wind' Hillary.
But then again, I am not a top Republican Official nor even an American Citizen entitled to vote.
And unlike the Republican Pubahs I believe Trump has made a great contribution to the political process and do not for a minute believe the Republican Party will be worse off with a Trump candidacy.
He has given a voice to millions of Americans - Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike who have felt themselves ignored or taken for granted by the Political Establishment of all stripes.
More real issues are being discussed today and more people are getting involved in politics than ever before and it is all because of Donald John Trump.
If the Republicans play their cards right - their Party could well become the new, innovative and enlightened Party to lead the US into this relatively new Century.
So it makes me wonder what is really going on? Could it be Politics in the United States has become all about Power - especially when it comes to Money? Do you think the Super Pacs and the Billionaires are pumping large sums into the fray for the goodness of their health?
A populist Prime Minister of the late 50s and early 60s coined the phrase: "everyone is against me except the people".
The Elites that try to take Trump down had better start realizing what they are truly up against or they will all be looking from the outside in.
So to answer my initial question: Is Trump A Real Conservative?
Frankly, I don't know but perhaps it does not matter all that much when so many in authority who call themselves that - are anything but.
And for those of you who may be tiring about my writing so much about The Donald, you will be glad to hear that this is the last Blog I will do in regard to The Donald for the next while ... I promise.
As I see it...
