[quote]Arkansas is 2nd most conservative state in the US now and is Trump country.

Both of those statements are true.

Other than immigration though, is Trump really that conservative? Is Trump really the person that conservative Arkansans want to hitch their wagon too?

I think things just became so much of an us vs them that Trump became "our guy" for the Republicans. Giving Trump the boot at this point seems like it is giving Democrats a win, so many Republicans have doubled down on Trump when cutting bait and finding a better leader for the party would be much more wise.

No. He is a New York republican, which would be an Arkansas Democrat.

Trump is a classic liberal and not from the lunatic fringe of the left.

Easy to say, but the reason so many R voters took to Trump was because he fights back. Republicans tend to lay down, roll over, and show their belly hoping that their Democrat counterparts will be nice to them.

Trump came out swinging back and that's what Republican voters have been begging for. A fighter. Republican voters are fed up with Rinos and are ready to clean house in the party or destroy it.

Guys like Cotton, Boozeman, and Hill leave nice soundbites, but they don't really fight back. Cotton has a few times, but that's because he has higher aspirations.

The Republican party is headed for a big change and honestly I think the Democrats are too. Not all Democrats are so hard left.

Three party system is really on the horizon and rinos, moderate dems, and libertarians will probably make up the largest party.

Back to the original point of the thread, by the time elections roll around, Arkansas voters will vote for the same old same old as they always do.
