You're right. His main base is certainly a hodge podge of no real belief system other than liking the right leaning, populist rhetoric he spews. However, he picked Mike Pence as his VP to get the social conservative vote - a vote that without, a GOP candidate cannot win the WH. He still panders to them.

Though I think anyone with a brain recognizes that Trump views social conservatives probably with the same disdain as I do.
