Trump has made various comments that don't come across as conservative. While I don't know if Trump is a true conservative or not, I do think that it's okay to have positions that not all conservatives have and still be conservative. Just because one differs from another on a particular issue doesn't make him/her less conservative than the other.
That being said, I'd like to know what people here would say if a state decided to mandate health insurance instead of the federal government?
If my State tried to mandate health coverage, I would vote against it, but if it passed, I would accept it. If I thought it was too egregious to live with, I could move to another State. But I still don't accept the fact that the FedGov had the right to do it, and moving to another country is a little to extreme for now.
But I do sort of agree with you that I don't hold all candidates to stick to every espoused conservative "principal". I have many differences with the GOP, but all in all, I still prefer the GOP to the Dems.
