Nominations are being accepted for the Conservative of the Year 2017. For each nominee, also state a short reason why.
List
- Donald Trump, for strongly pursuing conservative and pro-American policies (including on judges, immigration, abortion, religious liberty, trade, sovereignty, and deregulation) and going against the Left and political correctness
- Roy Moore, for holding fast to Christian conservative principles in his run for U.S. Senator, and also for his incredible strength, refusing to bow down to the establishment when pressured to drop out of the special Senate election due to unproven 40-year-old allegations. While loosing, Moore has the right to say he did not buckle to anyone and stood firm in his principles.
- Steve Bannon, for his efforts in making sure President Trump pursues his campaign promises and in helping conservatives defeat RINOs in primaries for Congress. Bannon is the executive chairman of Breitbart News.
- Breitbart News, for supporting President Trump's conservative agenda and holding the administration accountable for its campaign promises
- Jim Hoft, publisher of The Gateway Pundit news website, for consistently being the leader on the Right as other self-described websites occasionally falter and cave
- Scott Pruitt, for his efforts in ending the many Obama-era EPA regulations
- Viktor Orbán, for advocating strong conservative positions on immigration, sovereignty, and Christian values in the face of EU and globalist opposition
- Mike Pence, for steadfastly holding to conservative principles, backing other solid conservatives, and proudly holding to his faith despite opposition
- Andrew Turner (UK MP) (nominated on behalf of User:GraceDalrymple, who is having some technical difficulties)
- John McCain, for continuing to represent his state even when faced with fatal cancer, including voting for tax reform.
Downgraded from consideration
- The evening talk show hosts on Fox News (Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham), who initially cut and ran from Roy Moore when he was ambushed by the liberal media, and thereby failed to lead at the time it mattered most. After conservatives complained about their coverage, they stopped criticizing Moore.
