Rank the GOP candidates from least conservative to most conservative

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Pataki - pro-choice, running token "I think the base are retarded" Huntsman campaign

Graham - proud RINO

Christie - ran New Jersey. Hugged Obama after Sandy thus ensuring Barry's reelection (?)

Kasich - accepted Medicaid expansion, relatively dovish, supports free trade

Bush - married to Hispanic, very suspicious

Fiorina - the BUSINESS EXPERIENCE candidate, suspiciously RINOish set of chromosomes

Santorum - statist and worker focused economic policy, although very hawkish

Perry - will abolish three departments, maybe. Very Heretical on immigration

Rubio - immigration related heresy, straddling a lot of factions

Huckabee - social conservative, but marketed at elderly; opposes reform of SS and Medicare.

Walker - ferociously economically conservative, although opposes SS privatisation; hawkish; supports Obamatrade

Jindal - governor who has thrown the most red meat. Nobody has bitten.

Paul - idiosyncratic civil rights issues, vague paleocon leanings, orthodox-right economically

Cruz - hyper right-wing, hawkish, has neocon roots

Carson - hyper right-wing, opposes free trade, paleocon roots

Trump belongs somewhere on the z axis.

How is supporting free trade not conservative?  Its opposition comes largely from unions and Democrats.

One can oppose free trade for both conservative and lefty reasons. Carson opposes it with a rightist and nationalistic motivation; while Sanders and his ilk oppose it for leftist, worker based reasons (sometimes, with political expediency the rhetoric starts to resemble each other, with leftists pulling the Scary Yellow Peril line and rightists crying crocodile tears about workers.
