I think that's the problem though. It wasn't Trump that pulled them off the rails. The GOP hasn't shrunk the government for as long as I can remember, and I'm in my 40s. You probably have to go back before Reagan to find a Republican president (or any president besides Clinton) that actually cut spending.
So anyone who is fiscally responsible today and calling themselves a conservative, must be a conservative for other reasons.
So besides money, what are the other things conservatives do? Why would anyone still be a conservative?
