It is more than merely RINOs. The culprit is Conservatism, Inc., which since the 1950s has steered the conservative masses unto the right end of the Overton Window of acceptable opinions. Since the end of World War II, the Republicans have run moderates for the White House, with the exceptions of Goldwater, Reagan, and Trump. All three were undermined by the moderate Republicans in either their campaigns or their Administrations. Despite the sabotage, the radio talk show and print members of Conservatism, Inc., told us to hold our noses and vote for the moderate for President on down.

Unlike Goldwater or Reagan, Trump was never tied to Conservatism, Inc. He has been the most successful populist since Andrew Jackson. If Trump survives lawfare against him and election sabotage and becomes President, he will need to be as revolutionary as FDR. I was a little concerned that he had Lindsey Graham on the platform with him in South Carolina after his victory there. Graham is the epitome of a GOP establishment politician.

I don’t think that Reagan was Conservatism inc. Goldwater was a little too nuts on starting a nuclear war.

The John Birch Society was right about most things.
