Not really. Trump has supporters that consists of (many) conservatives, libertarians, moderates, and even blue collar Democrats. The so-called "Conservative Movement" are conservative by name only. They say things that are conservative, and many conservatives like the ideas that are put out there, but when given the opportunity to actually execute any of it, they don't do it. Look at Obamacare: many "conservatives" supported the repeal and replace approach while Obama was President. They didn't try to override his veto, nor did they really want to challenge him. They sat there, twiddled their thumbs, and wondered what they were going to do after they put on that charade. When Trump came into office and DID have another shot to repeal, John McCain, one of the "conservatives", said "nope, not going to happen" and shot it down. Same thing with border security and the border wall, They talked a good game during Obama's time in office, but never really fought hard to get it. Hell, they basically gave the Democrats what they wanted, even when they had both the House and the Senate. They accomplished hardly anything on that front. Then along came Trump wanting the border wall and tougher border security. Once again, the "conservatives" shot it down and instead wanted to give the Democrats what they wanted. Trump said "no" and the government (partially) shut down.
The "Conservative Movement" is nothing more than a bunch of Washington insiders putting on a facade to make it look like that they're up against great odds against the Democrat party, but in reality, they're not much different than their supposed counterparts. So long as they keep face on what they're doing, they'll continue being members of the Washington "elite," which is really what they want. This William Weld guy is one of those so-called "conservatives," who believes in ONLY the fiscal aspect of conservatism but not the social side of it. He sounds more like a lobbyist than a former (conservative) governor. This guy could just be to throw mud at Trump and try to paint him as "unqualified" and "a great danger" to the country. He sounds weak, though, and will be very easy to defeat. It's practically a no contest. The Democrats know this, but they will take ANYTHING at this moment time to try to bring Trump's approval numbers down. Right now, they're (roughly) between 45-51%.
Real conservatives are behind Trump. As mentioned before, he also has the support of many libertarians, moderates, and blue collar Democrats. It was the dream base that the "Conservative Movement" had wanted, but they reject it. The why is simple: because a guy that they deem as a reprobate and an idiot was able to get them, and they couldn't. They don't have the successful business and work record that Trump does. A man who has had more success in life than what these political hacks have had. These "conservatives" are seen as know-it-alls, liars, arrogant, condescending, and self righteous. Trump's base knows that Trump isn't perfect, not by a long shot, but they know what they see is what they get and see him as a guy who cares about the country. Most of his policies ARE conservative, but they see him as working across the aisle in smart and firm way. I believe Trump is going to beat this clown (and any others that might come) that's challenging him in the primaries, and is on a fast track on winning reelection in 2020. If there's anyone that be shown to have shallow support, it'll be Weld and the "Conservative Movement" (which consist only of Never Trumpers).
