I get my conservatism from the founders of conservative thought, not from Hannity or Levin.

Russell Kirk said “The true conservative is a man of the future rooted in the past”. And, “in whatever they do, endeavor to safeguard the institutions and the wisdom of the past, not slavishly but prudently.”

By creating a great company that has created and preserved over 34,000 jobs and presently employs over 24,500 and generates revenue of $9.5 billion per year. That’s put a lot of food on tables, kids through college, paid a lot of mortgages — in other words, Trumps companies have preserved the American middle class way of life for thousands of Americans. And this isn’t even counting the multiplier effect, by which those dollars have recirculated through local economies - typically as between 5 and 8 times.

I think he meets and exceeds the true standards of conservatism.

How many of Ted Cruz’s speeches on conservatism put a dime in anyone’s pocket?

"How many of Ted Cruz’s speeches on conservatism put a dime in anyone’s pocket?"

None of them I'd reckon. How much of Donald's work actually helped to establish the constitutionality of our gun rights in front of the SCOTUS? Both men are highly competent at their callings, but Cruz has never given material aid to our enemies and Trump has given plenty.
