I am asking this question because I noticed the Republicans have not delivered their constituents anything they promised:
1) Immigration - Establishment Republicans tell their constituents that they will control immigration. Instead they begin to expand it and have plans to give a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Republicans certainly have no intention of cutting down on H1B visas.
2) Gay Marriage/Transgender rights - Republicans more or less caved on this and are being steamrolled by the Democrats.
3) Trade - Republicans expand trade further and hurt their working class constituents. When their constituents complained, they are called socialists and told to shape up or stay unemployed.
4) Abortion - LOL is all I have to say about this.
5) Foreign Policy - Establishment Republicans want more war in the Middle East and possibly Asia while their constituents don't really care about these regions.
Call out the Democrats for their policies but you can't deny the Democrats have delivered on their promises to their constituents even if they are half baked. Gay marriage, health care reform, racial issues, expansion of welfare, and climate change/environmentalism have all made considerable progress under Obama while the Republicans have been on the defensive. Do conservatives want to continue to support a political party that is constantly on the defensive?
I also have to ask do the Republican establishment have any plans to address any of the concerns that their constituents voiced this year through their anointment of Trump as their representative? I just see them bash their voters instead of addressing their concerns on immigration and trade.
What does Trump have to do with it? I thought the topic was conservatives?
The constituents are voicing their concerns on immigration and trade by voting for Trump. I am wondering if the party has any plans to actually listen to their concerns and address them so they can prevent the emergence of another Trump. The fact that party members are voting for Trump is an indicator that the party hasn't delivered anything to them.

Repubs dumber than rocks.
"Dems" lving in fantasy land and not in touch with reality. Lying and misleading has become their strategy as they embrace unethical behavior to install their ideology at the expense of the nation.
Trump is the primal scream that trumpets the first breath of the birth of intolerance toward career pols.
When some pol tells us 'we have to pass it to see what is in it' and legislators pass legislation without reading or understanding its implications, the seeds of 'revolution' have sprouted. Partner to the unethical behavior of the Dems during the last two obama terms is the media turned propaganda machine. the loss of the free press sends a chilling message that the government is no longer by the people and for the people.
Trump is the act of calling artillery in on our own overrun position.
Most of the the items you mentioned have been put in retrograde during obama's regime as he did everything he could to divide the nation.
The repubs failed us cosmically but the Dems have been bent on destroying the nation.

Agree with some of this. But first off the republicans aren't conservative. They love to spend.
1. No one should be allowed into our country until things actually get better. And yes The republicans have given lip service on immigration.
2. Republicans didn't cave on gay marriage, the Supreme Court decided the issue.
3. Although more Republicans were behind the untransparent TPP Obama was the one who did the dirty work for them.
4. Abortion, same answer as gay marriage.
5. Democrats are war mongers but not as much as the Republicans are. Granted they only pipe up about being anti war when a repub is in the White House. The tide is slowly turning but the Repub voters want us involved in the Middle East. Yet the dem voters don't elect the candidate who can get us out of the Middle East.
Instead of bringing the troops home, Clinton and Obama continued our involvement in the Middle East. The President controls troop movements.
I believe it was Shakespeare that said, "he who provide notheth is better than he who taketh"
