“Too bad, really. He is often ahead of the curve on many issues (Bill declaring war on ISIS a year ago, a Bill to stop Syrian “refugees†before anyone else even thought of it, etc.). But then he goes so far off the conservative reservation that he just makes you shake your head.”

He’s a bit of everything, I guess. Perhaps the best description is: he’s a conservative libertarian in general, but on foreign policy he’s simply a libertarian.
That is a pretty fair assessment. We sound like ideological twins!
