The conservative movement is not as conservative as you think. That is the point.
Trump represents a realignment of the political landscape. Coming out of his victory and successes there will be a new paradigm.
I, for one, welcome it. The crooks in Washington (both sides) deserve every bit of ass-whooping coming their way.
That includes the Tea Party “conservative” sellouts.
Donnie is going to get along with the democrats, he has said so much with all his
Get in a room and negotiate crap.
Since Trump is the establishment he won’t change a darn thing about it.
Conservatism is about small govt, fiscal responsibility & support of the Constitution. Anything else is not Conservativism and not good.

That includes the Tea Party “conservative†sellouts Based on where we are in the calander (days away from the first caucus), I have to say "who cares?" Great stuff when you have time to get academic. But right now it's like wanting to pause, pull out the book, and study historical battle tactics in the middle of a fire fight.
It really isn't a conservative (beginning to hate that word, the way it is used to beat up each other) movement. It's an us versus them movement. People on the left, center and right are fed up with the political establishment that has so screwed up our country.
Palin's speeches ever since the 2008 election have been all about taking on the crony capitalism of the powers that be and defeating them. She sees Trump as the best vehicle to do that at this time. In my book, taking on the establishment is a very conservative thing to do.
Call it our own version of Cloward-Piven. But not really. Because at bottom I think the Trump will be a good manager of the economy and government, and we need that very badly.
New Paradigm = Nationalism based in Fiscal Conservatism.
Trump does not believe in limited government. The reason the GOPe "hated" him is that he didn't seem predisposed toward their crooks. Therefore, what will result if he takes the Presidency is that we will get a different set of crooks. If the GOPe can get theirs in the deal they'll be perfectly happy, albeit with a sour taste on style points. No matter what, Trump will do nothing to halt the cheap labor express. That's the biggie.
The whole idea of limited government is that it wouldn't have the power to sell favors, which is what most conservatives fail to grasp. Under its Constitutional limits, the Federal government could do nothing but remove barriers to commerce from State to State. That is not at all what our lover of eminent domain even thinks he's going to bring. All he talks about is what HE will do, with no mention of Congress or Constitutional limits at all, this despite the fact that most of what he promises is not within the immediate powers of the Presidency.
Correct.
So supporting a really not conservative is the answer?
“Trump represents a realignment of the political landscape.”
Maybe something like “the reset button”? Bring it on!
