Come on, man. Seriously. You have him all wrong! He ain't no liberal or Democrat.
His number 1 issue/complaint with politics in general is that ultimately, because of SPENDING...both Parties are the same. Until it's shown that one Party, when given the reins...CUTS programs and pork.
@DCPatriot Well sorta... I have no number one issue. My emphasis upon fiscal conservatism is because firstly, it is wholly undeniable.
Secondly, because it directly attacks the primary problem - Remove the overspending, big.gov necessarily contracts... which is at least a rudimentary tie to more liberty and something returning to the states.
Which brings the tertiary though tangential answer. - that power handed back to the states increases state autonomy and promotes federalism.
Win/win/win.
"I'm able to die a natural happy death right where I live...no matter the political ruling class and/or natural disaster", is basically what he says to us.
I will either way, so that's pointless.
But, he also uses that one issue to wipe his hands...his ass of the whole thing.

It didn't matter to him if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016, because "Tumpy" was/is no Conservative. "Not my circus...not my monkeys!"
No, I wash my hands of the thing because I refuse to vote against Conservatism. Every time y'all vote a non-conservative into office, you diminish the power of Conservatism as a political force. And you know it - That's why every Republican runs as a conservative, even yet. Even with conservatives nearly entirely out of power, everyone still tries to convince you morons that they are indeed conservative (Tumpy included).
I don't need to explain again how your inattention to actual conservatism drives conservative issues further from any success and instead enables and adds to the power of the globalist moderates in control of the party. Nor that actual conservatives, the real and lasting enemy of both globalists and liberals, are ground beneath their heel. You get more of what you vote FOR.
And Hitlery is indeed incidental - You got your idiot savant, who failed miserably, got exactly NOTHING out of the gambit, and pissed everybody off enough to swing the ball back to the Democrats (with majority)... And so you got Biteme instead. In the broad strokes, same for same. Hitlery retains power regardless behind the scenes.
That's the perennial damage caused by populism (pragmatists). Having no real principles to defend, they expend themselves chasing after whatever shiny sh*t happens to be de jour, ignoring the very things that have stood the test of time, and have proven to provide lasting solutions (the Principles of Conservatism)... hyperventilating over trinkets and screaming in joyful glee at all the candy thrown by the clown at the front of the parade.
Not interested in empowering that.
