I totally agree with you. Problem is this nation is distinguished into three voting categories. Left, Center and the Right. Left and Center have more in common with each other than any commonality with the 'right'. By Right I am speaking of actual 'conservatives' those who know that to be fiscally conservative requires one to be socially conservative. Left and Center do not really give a rats rear end about social responsibility thus they will always be at the public trough demanding somebody else pay for the socializing. Now over the years to enlarge that 'Republican tent' all manner of social acceptance has crept in and it got labeled 'compassion' and bigger and bigger taxpayer spending. I am not sure there is the mood in this nation to literally change that direction.
Hunter insists we need to rebuild the manufacturing base to bring back manufacturing jobs.
It is a matter of national security.
That resonates even with blue-collar dems.
