I recognize the strength of the word “never”.

There are situations where I’d vote for an unproven claiming to be conservative over a proven wolf-in-sheeps-clothing “conservative” (think McCain or W). I wouldn’t trust that unproven pol to BE conservative but if those were my options that’s how I’d vote,

Trust but verify. And if that verification shows them to fake conservatives, distrust.
