The problem is that there is no arbiter or gatekeeper for those definitions.  People call themselves "conservatives" all the time in response to surveys.  But how accurate is that, really?  The unpleasant truth is that each of us has our own good-faith definition of what constitutes a "conservative" or "constitutional conservative" and those definitions rarely match up.

I think the majority of people calling themselves conservatives have one or more conservative viewpoints to which they cling. With everything else, they're all over the map.
Gee, it feels great to be a gangster!

Even though Kasich stated that he wasn't interested in being VP, I still think he's Trumps last hope in having a shot at beating Hillary. Trump needs OH and FL. Kasich is the one candidate that Trump really didn't attack, so I still see him as a possibility. I don't think Gingrich or Sessions is interested and Condi retried a long time ago. We will probably know in about a month; my hunch he will wait till the Convention.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Kasich doesn't want the job either.  Story from last Thursday...

Kasich also reaffirmed that there's still no chance he would serve as Trump's running-mate, telling host Bill Hemmer in the interview, "Never! Not even a consideration. We're too different."
