Conservatives have principles. The two most important being
Rule of law
Respect for private property
Trump is terrible on both. He supports Kelo, which shows he has scant respect for property rights. He is completely tone deaf with respect to principle of rule of law. He is completely unprincipled. His "arguments" never even rise to the level of casuistry. The principle of rule of law does not guarantee that I always get my way.
But I agree with Mr. Schlicter, Hillary is unimaginably worse.
After Donald J. Trump finishes doing all the things he has promised: build the wall, deport illegals and Syrian invaders, cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, roll back twenty years of intrusive government regulations, prosecute Hillary and her crew, release the secret 28 pages from the 9/11 report, negotiate prescription drug purchases, repeal and replace Obamacare, simplify the Tax code, repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits, stop the IRS from abridging the free speech of Christian Churches, reform the libel laws to remove the “public figure” distinctions, defund Planned Parenthood until they stop doing abortions, cleaning up the mess that is the VA, cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found, canceling Common Core and returning control of education to the States, end the assault on the Second Amendment, audit the Federal Reserve System, investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC, and destroy the culture of Political Correctness, then we can talk about all the “Conservative” issues that need to be addressed.
Let’s be honest, a good number of people who hold themselves out to be principled conservatives completely abandon both those principles for things they feel are more important, the wars on drugs and terrorism being the main drivers of this.
When someone calls themselves conservative these days, one really needs to ask more questions to determine exactly what they mean by that. It’s fully possible to encounter two people who swear they are conservative and don’t agree with each other on anything.
