Actually, there is conservative by the generally accepted definition of being small central government, limited spending, strengthened state powers, more individual freedom vs. collectivism, an effective military not handcuffed by suicidal ROEs, and most importantly, adherence to our founding documents that acknowledges the citizens’ ability to govern themselves vs. being ruled.

Then there are the progressive, big government GOP politicians who use the term to get elected. Hell, even Skippy pretended to be the second coming of President Reagan a few times in his 2008 campaign. Made me sick.

Those are issues that need to be addressed AFTER we build a wall, stop illegal immigration, curtail legal immigration and slow down or stop off shoring and de industrialization. Those "conservative" issues will have to wait.
