Glad to see the NR taking the lead here. Back in its founding days Buckley's goal was to deliver conservatism from the racist Birchers and other miscreants who had hijacked it. He was successful. May his spirit hover over this endeveaor too.
Yeah, but then you had Kristol and the other Neo-Cons hijack conservatism for the Zionists and the Oil Companies, which is why they are all flustered by Trump.
So let's review here. For the last 40 years, Republicans have been distracting white working class voters from the theft of their middle class lifestyle by the 1% by playing on their religious, racial and sexual fears. And what that has brought us is Free Trade, Union-busting, McJobs where we are all working two jobs to pay the mortgage.
Meanwhile, the working class white guy is horrified to find his daughter is dating a Mexican.
So along comes Trump,who mixes the xenophobia with a little bit of populism, and the 1% is HORRIFIED!!!!
THis isn't the first time this has happened. They found themselves equally horrified when Pat Buchanan did it in 1996, or Mike Huckabee did it in 2008. The difference is, Trump has the resources to go a lot farther than they did.
