Hey, LS.

Good to see you again after so long a time.

What are you working on these days?

By the way, good analysis. The state-run media is doing everything they can to destroy Trump. He resonates with the grassroots, and the leftists cannot abide that. They destroy anyone with grassroots appeal.

But they especially hate him because he is moving the debate to what used to be considered mainstream American thought (pro business, pro national security, pro border control, pro American culture). The left has successfully destroyed all those basic American traditions by casting them as extreme.

Trump is single-handedly shifting the debate back to what used to be the center, and they hate him for that.

Trump defenders claim to support him because he is the most conservative candidate in the race (except for maybe Cruz) and that all the others are in the center, i.e. GOPe, RINO sellouts. What do you mean by Trump is moving the debate back to the center? Isn't that what all the others in the race are accused of doing and which Trump supporters find so heinous?

Good assessment. I hadn't really thought of it that way. There really were NO "free market" Republicans (or Federalists) prior to Reagan, so right or wrong, he was really outside the mainstream of Republican (what would have been called "conservative") thought prior to 1981.

I'm working on a bio of Reagan. I've already interviewed many of his intimates and/or administration people, or discussed through e-mails his policies with them. I've already found a number of things "accepted" by even his supposed best biographers that are simply wrong, at least through the SAG years.

We just finished our second documentary, "Other Walls 2 Fall," about music vs. oppression around the world. It features Yanni, Busta Rhymes, Clint Black, a heavy metal band from inside Tehran, a Pakistani rocker threatened with death, etc. www.rockinthewallstudios.com

Finally, when the RR stuff is slow, I've been doing a campaign bio of Trump. :)
