American Republican Presidential Aspirant for nomination, Donald Trump has described his politics as, "common - sense conservatism", a term he coined only last week and had been using ever since on his campaign speeches.
While other Republican opponents has criticised Trump's views as not in tune with conservative politics. Mr. Trump agrees also but said;
"I like to say I am a conservative with common sense or I am a common sense conservative. It may not be a Republican thing...but so be it...because people like it".
A practical case of his common - sense conservatism is Trump's approach to planned Parenthood, a nonprofit organisation which provides Reproductive health services to millions of low-income women.
It is a Republican obsession to stop the federal funding of planned parenthood, and Mr. Cruz (a strong Republican candidate also vying for US Presidency) has even promised to launch an investigation against it. But Trump supports the organization even while opposing abortion. According to Trump:
"When I'm President, I am not going to let people die in the middle of the street because they have no money".
Other Republican candidates especially Rubio and Cruz thinks that, "socializing" medical care is a restriction on individual choices and liberty.
That may well be the truly conservative (Republican) notion but Trump's common - sense conservatism seems to resonate well with the low- income uninsured Americans, and have enjoyed much support this season.
