Trump populist message combined with his appeal to the conservative base against a widely detested Washington GOP elite has upended the GOP presidential race.

He is here to stay.

The essence of a successful republic is the distance between we, the people, and the govt.

Under Clinton and Obama, a bottomless chasm developed.

Both of them have no use for we, the people.....they both worship at the Church of Whatever Works for Me.

Just by stepping onto the political stage, Donald Trump has drawn the people closer to their govt...as the Founders intended.

“Could it be that the conservative movement is no longer driven by a coalition of fiscal conservatives, people of faith, and those concerned about foreign policy, but instead is driven by a coalition consisting of working class whites, blue collar populists, and anti-immigration hawks?” the Daily Caller’s Matt K Lewis asks.

They are really the same people. It is the inside the beltway GOPe that thinks they are different.

He’s on to something here...although I’d replace “no longer driven” with “no longer owned”.

I’ve been shouting here for about five years that 2016 was gonna be all about populist economics.

No one in the MSM was paying attention apparently.
