No matter how right-wing you may be, Cal, you'll eventually find that the common trait amongst all but a few within today's GOP is the lack of any sort of capacity for logical reasoning, empathy, or pragmatism. In short, brainlessness. They are so intellectually bankrupt that they cannot even adhere to a coherent "pro-business" line, and thus repudiate the consensus of corporate America things like the Paris Agreement, the EXIM Bank, or a functional healthcare system for the sake of a few deep pocketed ideologues. They preach moral rectitude yet have brought a corpulent, dissolute vulgarian to the White House who they by and large stood by even as he boasted of his ability to fondle women's genitals. They aver fiscal responsibility yet have repeatedly wrecked our nation's finances every time they've come to power in the past few decades, as this administration seems intent on doing yet again.
There are a few good people, not necessarily "moderates" like Kasich, Haslam, or Baker, but also genuine conservatives like Flake or Sasse, but they are now in the decisive minority. As for the rest, there are many things one might call them, but "conservative" is not one of them.
