Mother Fuckers who say they want a fiscal conservative, who is a social liberal.
The shit doesn't exist.
You can't have someone who is fiscally conservative, but socially liberal.
How is a fiscal conservative going to pay for the social programs a TRUE social liberal would want.
If American's really believe the bullshit the Paul's would be a political dynasty.
Next ...
People who say they want a maverick ... but then make fun of Donald Trump.
Finally ...
Assholes who only drive their Hummers when gas is under $3 a gallon ...

Bizarro world in most cases.
Republican voters don't want entitlement cuts. Republican elites do.
The broader issue here is that both parties are, at best, imperfect reflections of their bases. There are, for instance, pro-life Democratic voters — but you wouldn't know it watching congressional Democrats legislate. Similarly, there are Republicans who believe in taxing the rich and spending much more on programs for the poor, but those beliefs aren't reflected by the day-to-day actions of their elected representatives.
The gap between the rigid agendas followed by the party establishments and the more diverse opinions of loyal partisans leaves both parties vulnerable to a candidate like Trump who has the money, and the star power, to campaign on a platform that party elites would normally suppress.
Take spending cuts. It's table stakes in a Republican primary to talk about how you'll cut spending on Social Security and Medicare. The GOP's policy apparatus loathes both programs and considers their long-term cost to be among the most pressing economic threats facing the nation. Any Republican candidate who wants to be taken seriously by Republican Party elites needs to show they understand the urgency of cutting Social Security and Medicare spending.
One problem? Republican voters don't understand the urgency of cutting entitlement spending. In fact, they oppose cutting entitlement spending. More Republicans want to increase spending on Social Security and Medicare than decrease it. They think keeping entitlement benefits at current levels is more important than reducing the deficit.
This puts Republican voters at odds with the Republican establishment and conservative interest groups. But since Republican candidates can't get very far without some level of support from the GOP establishment, conservative interest groups, or both, the Republican Party's elected officials are basically united on cutting Social Security and Medicare, even though Republican voters hold the opposite view.
Trump is the only Republican running who actually agrees with the GOP base on this one. "They're gonna cut Social Security. They're gonna cut Medicare. They're gonna cut Medicaid," he said on Fox & Friends. "I'm the one saying that's saying I'm not gonna do that!"
