Dunno if it's conservative or not, but he wants to preserve national identity by enforcing border security. His fiscal aims appear to be conservative too, get rid of the debt, don't spend more than you make. He appears to be a strong advocate of the right to keep and bear arms, and he does not like the federal government having control over how primary schools conduct the work of educating our progeny. He's also claims to hold US interests in mind in foreign policy, which translates into strong military, judicious use of military force, and care for those who are and were in the military service.

On the social conservative side, you'll likely be disappointed. at best he is "hands off." But, ask yourself what affect the president has on domestic social policy. That is driven mostly by culture, local governments, and courts. No doubt he has the bully pulpit, but how much "social conservative advocacy" came out of Bush, Reagan, etc.? Not much, not any that I can recall.

Good luck on your decision. Vote your conscience. If Trump is not your guy, then don;t support him. You have to look in the mirror, at yourself and your own conscience.

Thank you for your eloquent answer. I don’t think Trump is my guy but I am truly without a candidate at this point so I suppose he could be. If he wasn’t so petulant, I would be more easily swayed. But that’s just me.
