I think it's safe to say you yourself do not have a conservative temperament, TheCount. Yes? So you are not particularly well-suited to grasp it.
For me, if I were a conservative, it would be about winning. Conservatives have been Total Losers for half a century, probably a century, and maybe, actually, since Jacksonian times. Total. Complete. Utter. Losers. Nothing and I mean nothing that conservatives would have wanted and had in their agenda has been accomplished at the national level. So really, does it matter if Trump is a "conservative"? No. What matters is can he actually win? Can he succeed in getting through some part of the conservative agenda, unlike all the sad, total losers before him?
That is the bet conservatives made with him, in my opinion, even though they didn't consciously put it that way. Long-shot though it might be.
Oh, and he's going to bring back "Merry Christmas"!
Remember? You probably don't -- just another ridiculous thing Trump said, right?, but this is the kind of stuff conservatives really care about. And he gave them what they wanted, about a hundred times over.
