“define conservative”
Constitutionally originalist. What they wrote is what they meant. We’re required to play by those rules, or constitutionally change the rules.
Strong military.
Limited Government.
Bill of Rights, including especially #1, 2, and 10.
Low Tax, including low taxes on trade.
Low Spend.
Pro Family (or at least not anti-family, like Welfare currently is)
Pro Religion. (You pick your own, and the government does not intervene, except to approve of the fact that people ought to be free to be religious.)
Pro Law Enforcement (not Pro-Law-Breaking-Illegal-Alien). Includes the willingness to repeal laws we don’t intend to enforce.
Free Market.
That’s close enough to my view of “conservative” for the purposes of discussion.
then you and me are the same...
just watch for some of the other answers I get..
Conservative = “Low Tax, including low taxes on trade.” (among other things)
the question I keep asking of free traders: if America gets into a lengthy war and loses because it no longer has the industrial base to sustain a long war, how is the trade policy that led to that situation “conservative” ?
and how does such a trade policy contribute to a strong military ?

Trump wants to secure the borders, enforce the law, end anchor babies, end sanctuary cities, build a wall, deport them all, secure the borders, secure the nation, including sending the refugees back!
No one is better at border security, national security than Trump.Sounds pretty damn conservative to me.
Want to talk about cutting taxes, cutting spending, cutting regulations, cutting government, cutting cronyism, cutting corruption, growing the economy, putting our people back to work, making America great again?
Trump does. And he sounds pretty damn conservative to me.
Want to defend God, family, guns, country? Want to build the greatest military ever so no one dares mess with us?
Trump does. And he sounds pretty damn conservative to me.
Want to build a coalition including conservatives, capitalists, blue collar workers, veterans, gun owners, religious people, minorities, freedom-loving Americans of every stripe?
Trump does. And he's doing it. And that sounds pretty damn conservative to me!
Reagan Revolution meet the Trump Revolution.
No excuses for the tone. None needed.
Sounds pretty conservative to me as it should to any thinking human that does not have a prepaid agenda.
