At this point, I will attempt to identify who actually cares about this nation more than about their ego, legacy, and agenda, and vote accordingly. It's been decades in the making, but the American system has been successfully circumvented/gamed, and the way back, IMHO, will require recruiting people from outside of the political mainstream. I'm not saying that means Trump, but I do think we'd be much better off with a non-politician.
Trump is not a conservative, period. Not even a moderate.
A non-politician?

“Trump offers details on possible presidential bid
Announces Cabinet possibilities, willingness to spend $100 million”
November 28, 1999
“”GOP presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain of Arizona “ might be a very interesting candidate” for secretary of defense, Trump said.
Trump said others he would consider as possible Cabinet members include Rep. Charles Rangel (D-New York) as secretary of housing and urban development and retired Gen. Colin Powell as secretary of state.
As for possible choices for treasury secretary or vice president, Trump mentioned General Electric head Jack Welch. “He’s ... probably the greatest corporate leader in the history of a major company,” Trump said. “Somebody like that would be absolutely incredible.”
Trump also mentioned talk show host Oprah Winfrey again as a possible running mate, even though Winfrey has said she is not interested.””
