My best advice is: Enough already with the "true" conservative 
No. Either you ARE a Constitutional Conservative, or you are not.
It's not any different from those who claim to be Christian but embrace behaviors and doctrines anathema and condemned by the bible itself.
You can call yourself anything to ingratiate yourself into a group you intend to fundamentally change and transform to follow the new morality and paradigms of society, but practicing and preaching apostasy of fundamental doctrines and principles makes you the opposite of what you claim to be.
The more I read this line of thinking the more convinced I am that Reagan has undergone such a historical rewrite that today not even the man would recognize himself.
You mean like the claims that Trump is more Conservative than Reagan ever was? Or tearing down Reagan to make Trump better looking? Those kinds of historical rewrites?
Yeah, we've read plenty of that from the Trump faithful.
Join the 21st century and acknowledge the shift in American political paradigm before it buries conservatism ---all of it, every last principle --- in the ashbin of history.
Already a done deal and finished being buried. You have already surrendered it wholesale.
Going with the flow of Collectivism and Statism simply because it "wins" elections and garners more support from a people who have abandoned liberty and the Constitution for a Socialist Mobocracy, does not make this new 'paradigm' of yours Conservative. All you are doing is telling us that yesterday's Liberalism is today's Conservatism while Democrats march headlong into Marxism with the GOP following right on their heels.
Donald Trump is introducing new generations to the ideals of smaller government, less taxation, less regulation, the military's importance, American sovereignty, the sanctity of life and American greatness is from and for the American people. ---
That has the exact same impact on me as when homosexual ministers and pastors tell me that they are introducing Jesus to a whole new generation of people who hate the existing church with ideals of love, tolerance, acceptance, understanding and getting the world to embrace their behavior as good and righteous. Not a word spoken about repentance, and yet that is the first doctrine that must be done for a people to follow one they claim as Lord. The problem is, they have redefined what sin is.
And likewise, we are having Conservatism redefined.
Apostasy does not fly with those who have their noses in the original text and know and understand what it says, what the intent is and why the law was given in the first place.
Extrapolate that to what Conservatism used to stand for - and it's the same thing, apostasy - in the political sense instead of the religious.
And - as with churches who have embraced society's 'paradigm shift' - originalists kick the dust of our shoes and leave you to yourselves as we follow what is right and true.
