Trump is not even close to being a conservative.

Agreed. And we do have candidates running who are more conservative than Trump. Plus, imo, Trump lacks the character and temperament--by far--to be president. So I do not support his candidacy at all.

What does Trump lack that, say, FDR had. Except a radical liberal point of view that goes so far as to shove itself down conservatives’ throats (Trump seems to be pretty respectful in that category even when he differs in personal position).

I see a fallacy in an implicit assumption here that people are constant quantities. That you have to bring human virtue to the table before you can see virtue at it. Well that might be true for human virtue, on a worldly plane, but that ignores the God before whom “the heart of the king is like water; He turns it whatever way he wishes.”

If you look at whom Trump is NOT an adamant enemy of (hint: Cruz is among them), you start to get a bigger picture.

It could be just his New York sort of attitude that could rub some the wrong way. In NY and NJ, it is more of a get in your face attitude. Overlook the cultural differences and hop aboard the Trump wagon. 2 terms of President Trump followed by 2 terms of President Cruz and that brings us to 2033 when most of the wrongs in the country have been rectified by this duo.
