Seems Trump is on the way to top that. That's one thing I never get about modern Republicans. When in opposition they throw a fit about deficits but as soon as they have power they forget these concerns but drive deficits up a lot. Reagan did it, Bush did it and now Trump is doing it too.

Its almost as if forcing (rational) people to select D or R via a number of single issue pivot points creates a situation where everyone is guilty of some level of hypocrisy.

They don't care about deficits, they care about spending priorities. Deficits is just the argument they turn to when they don't have an argument against particular spending priorities.
