Every time he is on television he looks like he is in physical pain over this fiasco of a presidency.

He is a right-wing conservative.

Part of what he doesn't like about Trump is that he doesn't think Trump is a real Republican/conservative.

But I confess I have not heard him talk about his own ideology.
Just how he hates Trump.
