The term Conservative has almost no meaning. National Review mislabels itself as Conservative. Even Beck and Jeb are called Conservatives. By my definition of Conservative, Trump is far more conservative than Beck and Jeb.

Exactly right.

It is a word that started off usefully to broadly represent right wing thinking as opposed to left wing thinking.

Now, around here, it s a word meaning "the exact positions I have, and to not agree is a moral failing".

The word has become useless as people argue about who it applies to and who it doesn't.

huh?
How is being a lifelong democrat donor to hillary make someone a conservative?

How does donating tens of thousands of dollars to emmanuel, reid, pelosi, schumer make someone a conservative?

You people really have a disconnect in the brain...

Absolutely correct Jane, the word “Coservative” is meaningless . It’s just word games that progressives (on the right or left) like to play for the rubes. Other meaningless words, “Free” as in trade,”Comprehensive” as in immigration , “Common sense” as in gun laws, “Patriot” as in act. And on and on the game goes.

Lol trying to get a trumpeter to take a position is like wrestling jello.
