I am an independent. I am a libertarian-leaning moderate conservative, that's what the matrix score says on my signature. I oppose the ACA and Dodd-Frank. I also support a 15% flat income tax and school vouchers. Do you think I am more of a pro-choice pro-gun conservative Democrat, or pro-choice moderate Republican?

Democrats can stand for gun rights, and many do.

Are you conservative like I am? I want Dodd-Frank and the Affordable Care Act repealed. I also support a 15% flat income tax and school vouchers. I did not vote for Hillary Clinton and I am not a fan of her. Where would someone like this best fit?

Definitely Republican. Your economic policies are on the thatcherite right.

That is interesting. My foreign policy is not Thatcherite at all, but my economic policy is. I'm a non-interventionist libertarian.

The  problem is, both conservative Democrats and moderate Republicans are becoming increasingly rare, so you will probably out of place in both parties.

You don't need to "fit in" with a party perfectly to be a part of one and affect its discourse.  So naturally, I would suggest becoming a Republican.

How important are your issues? If all issues were, equal, I'd say GOP.

I'd also wait and see. If Trumpism is electorally succesful, Democrats will be campaigning hard for secular libertarian-leaning voters post-2020.

In the GOP, I'm a RINO. In the Democratic Party, I'm a DINO. If Trumpism is successful, would Democrats run more pro-gun anti-ACA conservative candidates?

Exactly. Maybe they will look at a different path towards UHC but they will be open to dropping 2A opposition.
