be a conservative who holds conservative principles
Todays conservative in the limelight is a portrait of what it means to be unprincipled.

I'd like to know exactly which Uniparty RINOs were considered the historical experts on this question? Trump is on his way to a landslide victory for the Republican nomination with much less money than Nicky Haley. How many Republicans are voting for her over Trump? RINOs are likely way overrepresented among conservative respondents of this presidential ranking. I'm sure even Mitt Romney considers himself somewhat conservative, as do the founders of the Lincoln project. Heck Schmo even calls himself a conservative at times. All this proves is that most RINOs are just as fascist as the Democrats with their willingness to sink to any level of lawfare to bankrupt, silence, and imprison their political opponents in a Putin-light manner.
The Republican base has become radicalized. That is the main reason Trump is winning among GOP Primary voters.

Traditional conservatives are now considered RINOs. Trump isn't a traditional conservative.

A traditional conservative wouldn't urge the Vice President to reject the certified Electoral College results. VP Pence realized he didn't have the constitutional authority to reject the certified EC results.

Why don't those so-called "historians" value narcissism and psychopathology as Presidential virtues?

I'd posit that Moksha is saying that someone like Donald Trump would be rated higher were different values substituted. He's not really asking a question; he's employing a wee bit of sarcasm. How do you read it?

Morley, if LDS apologists were interested in boosting Trump's Presidential rating, perhaps they could find some parallels in the narcissism and psychopathology scores of highly effective dictators.
