Really? So how effective have the “conservatives” been lately?
He is conservative enough and the populist message he has is definitely on the right. I hazard to guess that he would get more done for the conservative cause than the minority in the house currently does.
Is it about ideological purity or results? Reagan signed amnesty into law, you know. But the economic freedom he unleashed revitalized America and buried the Soviets. He was a great president, but not necessarily ideologically pure.
The “results” argument might have some merit if there was something in Trumps history that pointed to common goals with conservatives, but there isn’t. He is and has always been about big government solutions in service of big money interests. He will grow the government exponentially, which is as far from conservatism as you can get.
