Of those that don't, you have guys like KJ that make financial contributions and vote to maintain a Republican Senate that allows Trump to do what he does. A guy with his platform might well run as a Republican in Nevada. KJ criticizes Trump and is branded a lib. I believe that Mickey has stated that he doesn't believe in lowering taxes, is good with our mix of socialism/capitalism, and supports 1st trimester abortions which accounts for about 90%. He supports Trump though and gets to stay in the club and avoid the hated Lib label. A guy with his platform could probably run as a Democrat in Montana. I apologize to KJ and Mickey if I'm misrepresenting their positions and am willing to apologize for any unintended insult. I'm just suggesting that conservativism and Trump support is far less than a 100% correlation. In 2016 many people were reporting that Trump and Sanders were there top 2 choices for president. I don't think the divide is conservative vs liberal anymore. It's Trump vs not Trump.
