A conservative lifetime govt employee is like a vampire sunbathing. It don't belong. That is cognitive dissonance on your part. The ideal has always been a conservative enters politics for a time and returns to the private sector from which he came. Or upon retirement from the private sector spends his later years in politics.
Other than your say so, where is your evidence of that? Do you like Jeff Sessions? One of the most consistent, conservative, limited government people we have, and he's been a career politian. Or Mike Enzi, whose been a politician for 40 years.
It's fine to come up with a theory that you can't be a limited government conservative if you've spent a lot of time in government, but you need to check that theory against reality, and your theory fails that test.
It also is completely ducking the underlying issue of Trump's conservatism. I gave you two example of extremely liberal people who've spent their lives in private business. Unless you're going to claim that Soros and Lewis are more limited-government conservatives than Enzi or Sessions, your theory is useless. We have to look at the individual, and what the individual stands for. Focusing just on background, as you do, tells us nothing.
All I want from Trump is specifics. Is that really too much to demand of a guy without a track record in terms of policy?
