There is not a real "conservative" in this race.

That is true, but has nothing to do with conservatism. Trump answers to almost as few "conservative" check boxes as Hillary does. Saying he's "the closest thing to a conservative" is like saying I'm the closest thing to a fish posting in this thread right now because I can hold my breath underwater for the longest.
I would say Gary Johnson is the closest thing to a conservative in the race, despite being a libertarian (unless you're counting Pence).
