and so one of OUR TEAM throws rocks at it. What model of government is Trump going to use?

Trump would use big government for things like massive infrastructure projects - you know that stuff conservatives used to oppose when Obama did it but now is suddenly okay that Trump blathers on about it.

Apparently he has also found a POTUS right to force companies to stay in the US, another item that conservatives would have once blasted liberals with as marxist crap, but now that Trump says these things they approve.

It's really not Trump I'm particularly disappointed in, it's all these supposed conservatives suddenly buying into populist protectionist big government trash. It is amazing how one cult of personality that people think they can identify with can change long held opinion almost overnight. Also saddening is the fact that one assumes learned conservatives wouldn't be so prone to buy into these cult of personality type populists - but it would appear our side is just as susceptible as the the left.

Its a sad state of our politics. Conservatives so hungry for leadership that they become oblivious to the direction leadership may be going.
