3. He's a flip-flopper, but make no mistake, he would govern as an extreme conservative.

He's trying to portray himself as more moderate to get votes, but if elected, he would undoubtedly govern far to the right. That's what he has pledged to do and that's what he would be forced to do, because his base and his congressional support is on the far right.

What would this look like? Obamacare repealed. Tax policies favoring the rich. Conservative justices that would swing the country in a decidedly conservative direction for decades. Vouchers. Cuts to education and research. The opening up and selling off of public lands. It goes on and on.

So people shouldn't be fooled by the facade he's been trying to put up of being moderate. His plans haven't changed one iota with regard to actual policy. The only thing he's changed is the way he's presenting himself to the public for appearances sake, but the way he would govern is on the far right.
