Trump is a far greater existential threat to movement conservatism than HRC. That's why you see many GOP types desperately hoping he loses.

Under a President Trump, the conservative movement would be constantly wracked by vicious internecine fights (like during the GOP primary).
-
Whereas under a President HRC, they can comfortably unify in opposition, paper over ideological divisions, and go back to their old ways.
-
This is why GOP operators with an entrenched interest in the status quo (the type who fawned over Rubio) much prefer a Trump loss.

Always been splintered between neocons, evangelicals, paleocons, libertarians, et al. Just a different splintering after Trump.

Agree with conclusion, but GOP fear is also he will be so bad that Congress will be lost in 2018, and 2020 will be D landslide.

The conservative movement has always been splintered. GW Bush had both House & Senate and got nothing done. He was a weak leader.

The Trump agenda has been the most unifying conservative agenda since Reagan. Look at his vote counts & supporters. No one compares
