Now THAT is a great idea!
Give the man a gun and point him in the right direction.
Make sure he’s pointing the gun in the right direction, too.

There is a greater philosophical reason behind this, IMHO-

Conservatives, traditionally, are more isolationist and nationalist in thinking, they are not eager to get involved in all these oversea issues.

Democrats and socialists are all about “workers of the world unite,” a theme that they already had a century ago. They are all about globalism, the UN, WEF...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers_of_the_world,_unite!

The problem today is that Republicans are not conservative. They include two large groups that are still big government and/or support international meddling:

1) The modern big government Republicans like Bush/Romney/late McCain... They merely support defense, and their corporate cronies. They pretend to have a moral stance but that's not real since they usually go total secular when it benefits them politically.

2) The devout religious right that thinks their personal moral beliefs should be codified into the law and policies of government agencies. But only their moral idea of right and wrong, because ther guy next to them has it all wrong and his ideas shouldn't be the law.

***Neither of these groups believes in limited government and maximization of liberty (freedom) even though they call themselves “conservatives.”***

I agree - although I think the first group (modern big government Republicans like Bush/Romney/late McCain) is far more influential, as evidenced by their repeated successes in securing the Republican presidential nomination. The second group (devout religious right that thinks their personal moral beliefs should be codified into the law and policies of government agencies), on the other hand, has been shrinking for decades. In fact, the group has fractured, with some large denominations actually supporting the progressive political agenda: apparently their "personal moral beliefs" regarding homosexuality, abortion, open borders, etc. are now more compatible with Democrat (or socialist) "law and policies of government agencies"...

To: Who is John Galt?
I agree on all counts.

The second group of so-called conservatives has the awesome trait of burying candidates that would be awesome leaders. In their pursuit to find Jesus as their next President, they often work against what would be the best guy, ***EVEN FOR THEM.*** Example: Trump.

The second group has standards, they have principals, and all of that is good. But what it leads them to do is to support frauds like Romney who will never curse, never text something foul, is able create the appearance they are looking for, but ends up selling them out on every issue they hold dear.

Meanwhile, a Trump despite his abrasive personality, use of colorful adjectives, jokes that are what you expect in a high-school locker-room; throttles the IRS going after clergy speaking their mind, looks into the abuses against Christians abroad, goes after the funding to Planned Parenthood, rolls back some of the gay agenda, is proud to say “Merry Christmas” and does not light up the White House in a big Rainbow display.

The religious right is often their own worst enemy! They are easily captivated by the politician that walks around with ashes on his forehead, but who will vote against their interests 100% of the time.

Because of “form” they are willing to throw to the side some of the best people when it comes to “function,” and they forget the teachings of the Bible itself - All the Apostles were imperfect men, all of them. What do you think it's trying to tell us?

I think a lot of the problems you describe may result from the way voters view elections: I think a majority (unfortunately) view elections as popularity contests, like electing the homecoming king & queen (or queens ;>) in high school. Because this is a constitutional republic, and sovereignty resides in the people (acting in their States), voters ought to treat elections as a hiring process; after all, the people we elect to public office are supposed to be "public servants" (i.e., hired help). In essence, voters should act like business owners, and try to select the most competent, energetic, and honest applicant for the job.

Instead, way too often, we end up with 'pretty faces' on the ballot (like Obama & Romney), instead of world-class job applicants like Mr. Trump. And with regard to the latter, far too many voters forgot that they weren't picking a husband for their youngest daughter - they were supposed to be hiring a competent manager for our federal government...
