Trump is selling the conservative/populist message, and it’s killing the media and the RINOs.
Whether or not he should or will be elected, is a completely different issue.
Glad to know you had personal time with Mr. Buckley.
I recognize that speaking on Bill Buckley's behalf when he has been dead since 2/27/08, is an inexact science. Tempus fugit. He has been gone now for 7 1/2 years. I have every confidence that Bill's response to Trump would have been both incisive and humorous. He was 84 when he died and had every marble he was born with. He was a gentleman.
Now, political correctness had nothing to do with Bill and vice versa. Famously, in 1968 or 1972, he and Gore Vidal were hired by ABC News as commentators at the GOP convention. Vidal called Bill a fascist or a Nazi or some such and Bill got out of his chair on camera and headed in Vidal's direction saying; Take that back you GD little faggot or I'll break your jaw (or something similar). Bill was called on the carpet by PBS which broadcast his Firing Line program and demanded that Bill apologize. So Bill addressed the subject at his next show by saying: I apologize to the GD little faggot for calling him a GD little faggot. So much for PC and for apologies.
While my wife worked for Bill Buckley, his annual Christmas party at his town house in Manhattan was a cherished experience.
I understand full well that Trump's populism is killing the media and the RINOs. However, I am skeptical as to his conservatism and hope that he won't wind up killing us.
God bless you and yours!
