'Severely' Conservative?

18 seconds of video, and one unanswerable question comes out of it - What did he mean by that?

'Severely' conservative? Who says that besides a far left liberal? Or someone who used to consider himself a progressive? Seriously - if you are conservative, why would you ever consider voting for this guy? Seriously constipated - maybe. Selectively conservative - okay, I can buy that. Solid conservative, not at all. And severely conservative - more like severely desperate.
