Can I ask this question without being flamed? What conservative ideals has Trump given more than just lip service to during his life? I really want to know. I don’t have a candidate since I dropped Cruz like a hot rock. Can someone point me the right direction? I am a social and economic conservative voter looking for a candidate and I don’t like what I see across the board.

Secure the border.
Bomb the shit out of Isis.
Get our manufacturing base back.
Get rid of Obamacare
Clean house at the VA.

There are lots more, but that seems at least marginally conservative, and definitely pro-American.

This is an excellent article on the subject...

Is Trump a true conservative?

Dunno if it's conservative or not, but he wants to preserve national identity by enforcing border security. His fiscal aims appear to be conservative too, get rid of the debt, don't spend more than you make. He appears to be a strong advocate of the right to keep and bear arms, and he does not like the federal government having control over how primary schools conduct the work of educating our progeny. He's also claims to hold US interests in mind in foreign policy, which translates into strong military, judicious use of military force, and care for those who are and were in the military service.

On the social conservative side, you'll likely be disappointed. at best he is "hands off." But, ask yourself what affect the president has on domestic social policy. That is driven mostly by culture, local governments, and courts. No doubt he has the bully pulpit, but how much "social conservative advocacy" came out of Bush, Reagan, etc.? Not much, not any that I can recall.

Good luck on your decision. Vote your conscience. If Trump is not your guy, then don;t support him. You have to look in the mirror, at yourself and your own conscience.

Start by reading Trump’s policy objectives on his campaign website. If you have questions after that let me know and I will be glad to respond when I get to my laptop and off this smartypants phone.

I am an evangelical Christian conservative, who refused to support Romney or McCain. Trump pays lip service to nothing he is boldly forceful in his convictions.
