Good questions, Desi.
"Preservation of government" was a poor choice of words. Under a Trump presidency, i fear something more along the lines of stability of government, and strength of the nation. I don't really see the federal government going away, though that's what it looks like now, rereading it. And I honestly do think that this election cycle has opened up the eyes of a lot of people to problems in our political system. And that's a good thing. Something that would not have happened without an unforeseen event like the rise of Trump.
But that's the only good thing I see from all of this, a shake-up. A time for some deep reflection from people about what they really stand for and what role they want government to play, and what they are willing to fight for or give up to achieve that.
having Trump steering the boat while we are going through that to me seems like asking for trouble. He is too impulsive and short sighted to lead a nation, or even just get it through, to the other side. I think we are headed for a time of reflection in our nation, and Trump can't put his ego aside long enough to do that.
As for your questions, I am going to reflect on those.

• A Conservative interpretation of the US Constitution
  
• Personal Responsibility
  
• Help for the truly needy
  
• Limited Government
  
• Consumption Tax (non-profit charities and food exempt)
