The fact that Trump is arrogant, brash, untrustworthy, etc is irrelevant as the only thing that matters to them is that he seems to feel our frustration with party leadership and direction of the country and he’s willing to incur a whole lot of abuse just to express it.

In the first part of this quoted statement is where you sort of make my point. Where is the conservative intellect being applied to Trump as a candidate? He was against conservative principles before he was for them...if he is really for them?

He is saying what you want to hear. The base has been saying this same stuff for a long time. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to falsely adopt the rhetoric.

He’s not saying what I want to hear, he’s saying what I actualLy believe.

In terms of untrustworthy, I’d suggest that every single professional politician (both parties) are much more untrustworthy than Trump. They’re the ones that have effed this country up while promising that they fix it. No way in heck do they get another vote from me.

Agreed. Nothing like a “severe conservative” — which Trump obviously has become.
