Trump’s platform was more Conservative than Reagan’s, and you agree that there wasn’t a Conservative on the ballot.

LOL

I disagree on that, but please give me some specifics that support your case.

The important thing is that Trump distinguished himself enough from HRC (and also from McCain in '08 and Romney in '12) to eke out the win, not as much as a conservative but as a populist. (Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that he did win nonetheless.)

But to say Trump was more conservative in his campaign than Reagan was when Reagan won by 10 percentage points and won all but about 6 states vs. Carter in 1980, just doesn't work.
