A lot of them are pathetic hypocrites, who wants to convince us that everything was warm and fuzzy until their "reasonable" party was "hijacked" by Trump. In fact Trump GOP is a logical consequence of the direction the party was going for years. Most of conservative NeverTrumpsters opposes him not because of ideology but because he's not a part of their club.
This lol.
Trump is probably more moderate than most of them.
Trump is not a conservative he is just a racist , egoistic, dumb, demogaue
And yet he won the Republican nomination. Those were Republican voters that delivered the nod to him. Plurality or not, still quite a large segment.
