Trump isn't killing conservatism; Klavan isn't saving it

There he goes again.

Trump has taken conservative positions.  If it is conservatism that they are worried about, then where were they when Nixon was running?  I know that was a long time ago, but Goldwater endorsed Nixon, and vice versa.  Goldwater was conservative.  But Nixon wasn't conservative.   He started the EPA, for example.  He was also going to sell out on health care if the Dems would forget about Watergate.  Trump is at least as conservative as Nixon.  Conservatism survived Nixon.  How can Trump hurt it?

On the other hand, by electing Clinton, you may well see the end of conservatism in America.

As long as these guys won't get on board the Trump train, they are helping Hillary.  Conservatism just may not survive a second Clinton presidency.

To think otherwise is wishful thinking. She will appoint judges that will make the Second amendment just a bunch of words on paper.  The First amendment will be in trouble, too.  How "conservative" is that?
