The word conservative has become meaningless. It is just a pejorative..just like liberal is.
Terms like small government, capitalism, corporatism, socialism still have some meaning.
In the US there is no majority concensus. The winner in a Presidential race and in Senate,Gov and statewide races must build a broad coalition.
A broad coalition is what Trump has built. He is supported by both pro-life and pro-abortion types. He is supported by both low tax and high tax types. He is supported by both pro and anti Obamacare types.
The theme of most Trump supporters is anger at the establishment over their arrogance and exclusion of ordinary people. That anger has zero to do with issues and ideology.
Trump will likely disappoint conservatives when he is elected. However, he will not be as disappointing as another four years of Obama policies. Paul Ryan says, What a lot of Republicans want to see is that we have a standard bearer who bears our standards. He is right for a change. That is why I and many others have sent contributions to Paul Nehlen. Ryan is like Rubio advisor Max Boot who stated, I would sooner vote for Josef Stalin than I would vote for Donald Trump.
Waryone wrote, Romney stayed home. He refused to confront Obama. That is why he lost. Joe Biden said, Half the time, in this last debate, I didn’t know whether or not Gov. Romney was there to debate Barack Obama or endorse Barack Obama. Trump will not be kind to Hillary. If she has any sense she will refuse to debate him. She will have a mental breakdown during a debate.
