So, there’s an “elite” class to rule over the peasantry? Is THAT the argument they’re trying to make?

What would John Adams have thought of the existence of a "donor class"?
What would Sam have thought of it?

National Revolting, at it again. Yet it was the same Adams who:
1) Was FOR the very tariffs that Trump espouses as a leverage tool vs. a protectionist tool that Adams liked;
2) Tried to give Washington the title of “King” (he wisely rejected it)
3) Highly distrusted the people, whereas Trump in fact is OF the people and owes his success totally to the people
In short, National Repugnance should get a life.

Donald Trump...rejects conservatism. He rejects free trade. He rejects property rights. He rejects the rule of law. He rejects limited government. Ummm. Huh?
OH! National Review. Now it makes sense.
To: afraidfortherepublic
Faux conservatives at NR, and their ilk in the Republican party are sinking to ever increasing new lows.
For well over 30 years Faux conservatives have ignored the will of republican voters. Flooding our country with illegal immigrants, trade deals that cost Americans their jobs and standard of living. All in the name of socialist redistribution.
This article is in fact about themselves.

Trump is not a dictator.
He doesn’t claim any authority other than that given to him by the American people.
And should he be elected, they can revoke his mandate at their pleasure.
Kevin D. Williamson is smoking crack. The notion that Trump presents an intolerable affront to two centuries of American self-government is a meme not in need of explanation.
Yes indeed, people have a right to be angry with their rulers and that’s exactly what elections are for - to bring government in line with the wants and desires of the people from whom it derives its authority.
I need only quote Ronald Reagan: “America is a country that has a government, not a government that has a country.”
In a word, government is the servant of the people who are its master.

Agreed. Trump or Hillary will produce many of the same results. Hillary by radial design and Trump by unbridled passion and vanity.

For seven years these conservatives have sold out to corporate elites and globalists and didn’t give a damn about so-called “conservative” principles. Now that someone is threatening their operation they’ve all become born again small government advocates. Oh go shove it Mr. Williamson! They don’t call your magazine National RINOview for nothing. The Republican elected class, conservative establishment people like you Mr. Williamson and the donor class sold the party out. We in the rank and file did not. Now you want to lecture us about conservatism and stick us with another establishment type. Sorry, been down that road too many times.

it is much more difficult to imagine him taking it seriously, or indeed to imagine that there exists anything that is to him a "sacred obligation".
He's made 1000s of agreements and employed 10s of 1000s of workers. If he didn't make fair deals or didn't live up to his obligations the GOPe would be showing us 10 new people each day who he screwed.
In a business atmosphere where businessmen are hated, and often rightly so, I've read almost exclusively positive things about him from
employees (direct, contract, union)
competitors
partners
customers
government officials
citizens in NY and other places he builds
There are lots of reasons to argue that he shouldn't be president. But, at this point, saying he doesn't live up to obligations seems entirely baseless.
Using legal bankruptcy law and having businesses go under is not a failure to meet obligations. Bankruptcy can be mis-used but I haven't heard that case made. I'm sure anyone who hates Trump will make the case - fine, he failed to meet 4 obligations (or 3).

The liberal media uses history like they do the bible...they only embrace it when they can bend it to make their point.
