Is Trump a conservative? He's certainly a very unusual one, emphasizing xenophobia, protectionism, and militant volkishness, wrapped around a personality that's, well, megalomanical. Will he appoint better SCOTUS justices than Clinton? Probably, but at what cost? The implications of violence and division that surround Trumpism scare me a hell of lot more than Clintonism does.
Trump's problem isn't his conservative bona fides; he's got to start acting like the potential leader of a great nation, not a banana republic of brownshirts.
