I support his thinking on “conservative” values, but sadly, what I see in so many of these people at this point is that, Cruz, Rubio, and “conservative” pundits like Levin, is that they see the world in totally an ‘ideological’ way... pure black and white with no grey areas.
They have gone totally ‘Taliban’ when it comes to the way they think.
That’s the problem when you are so ‘ideological’ in your views on life, that you take on this ‘self-righteous’ outlook on things.... the radical LEFT is no different.
Truth. They went so Taliban as to float the idea that it would be better to let Hillary win and allow them four years to “regroup”! How idiotic is that?
Truth is none of those people want their money train messed with, and Trump just might mess! In Levin’s case, Trump’s practical, solution-driven leadership just may improve things and render his “true conservative” Jeremiads null.
He’s an ideological “purist” who had gone so deep in for Cruz in the primaries that now he can’t find a way to get out of it without losing his purity.
No ideological purity of any stripe works in the real world. What works in the real world is what works - which is pragmatism. Trump is above all a pragmatist.
