So, what’s the alternative? Realistically?

I dont agree with rush on this....trump is a celebrity that people think they know...they are willing to overlook some flaws that should have doomed his campaign.

I agree that he has a populist streak. I surely understand his appeal. I like that he doesnt cower to political correctness. I like that he is more conservative than most republicans on some issues.

I hate that he could pick four supreme court justices. I would much rather have cruz doing that...its not even close

The alternative would be someone like Cruz running a conservative campaign with populist rhetoric in regards to immigration and middle class wages, in addition to his anti establishment themes.

The point is that populism should be utilized by conservatives to win elections. It doesn’t yield a conservative, limited government, pro constitution governing
coalition. In Trump’s case it will more than likely guarantee a moderate to liberal legislative coalition. Making deals while putting forth the message that the populist can govern more efficiently, fairly and humanely than the “stupid” ruling class.

I would say it's pretty apparent that anyone, Dem or Repub would be an acceptable alternative...

Republican or Democrat no longer matter...The two political groups are Pro America and New World Order Globalism...Trump and Palin represent one side while everyone represents the other...
