Which means that Trump, right now, is right and the conservatives are wrong.
His moderate program of secure borders, economic nationalism, and America-first foreign policy—all things that liberals and conservatives alike used to take for granted,if they disagreed on implementation—holds the promise of fostering more unity. But today, liberals are apoplectic at the mere mention of this program—controlling borders is “extreme” but a “borderless world” is the “ultimate wisdom”—and the Finlandized conservatives aid them in attacking the candidate who promotes it. Conservatives claim to deplore the way the Democrats slice and dice the electorate, reduce it to voting blocs and interest groups, and stoke resentments to boost turnout. But faced with a candidate explicitly running on a unity agenda they insist he is too extreme to trust with the reins of power. One wants to ask, again: which is it, conservatives? Is Trump to be rejected because he is too moderate or because he is too extreme? The answer appears to be that it doesn’t matter, so long as Trump is rejected. Restatement on Flight 93

Some conservatives deplore Trump's ridiculous, shameful attacks on others, and his former frequent reversals and obfuscation of policy positions. Other conservatives, emphasize country over policy/personality defects of their candidate and support Trump against Clinton.
Different criteria for preference. That's America.
