I'm not sure the right wing is all that libertarian and small government these days. It all seems pretty team red versus team blue with plenty of dog whistling all around. But not many principles.

There was a tax cut that led to a deficit, which is causing calls from the right to reduce spending. This seems like a principled effort to reduce government and taxes to me.

  But Trump is still the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, and he is clearly not a small government conservative or libertarian.

    He is a tax reducing conservative though. It's his tax cut that caused the deficit. Executive tax cut, legislative government reduction. It's an efficient ratchet.
