Excerpted:

So who is the most conservative electable candidate: Hillary or Trump? To answer this question properly, it is necessary to focus on the most important issues. The preamble to the Constitution mentions preserving the union, establishing justice, providing for national defense, promoting economic prosperity, and preserving liberty as the central purposes of the U.S. government. To these primary areas I would add fiscal competence as a central area of concern, as unless the government is financially sound, it will not be able to discharge its responsibilities regarding any of its other identified purposes.

Neither candidate has a problem with preserving the union, so in that respect, they are both equally acceptable. Regarding national defense and the economy, the case is rather different.
