Please name such a candidate in the real world.

Well, such candidates don't exist in the US the way they once did. You don't have to go back many years to the old style Southern Democrats to find politicians that were very socially conservative and economically liberal.

You can still find a lot of these sorts of politicians in South America. There are many both socially conservative AND economic populist left wing politicians there. You see some of this very thing in places like Venezuela, Peru, etc.

Perhaps you are right. However, I’m ineligible to vote in Peru.

Personally, I find the two types of conservatism to be inseparable and as Secret Agent Man posted earlier, a candidate who is honest with his or herself will not split the two.
