They may be out of touch with the Republican base but I doubt they’re out of touch with conservatives.
Yeah...singing the praises of Romney, McCain, and Rubio shows how well in touch NR is. They have been nothing but a RINO shill for years.
Don’t confuse neo-globalism, and crony capitalism with conservatism.
Are Conservatives for unlimited open borders and rotten trade deals ? If so , NR is right there with them
Doubt it all you like, but both you and they are on the wrong side of how things are going.
they are chamber of commerce, open borders types.Thats why I canned my subscription back in 06.
But then, they also damned Reagan as nothing but a grade B actor, when Buckley was in charge and RWR was in the primary season he eventually won the presidencial nomination in .
Probably correct. The base has evolved, I used to consider myself part of it (and active at the precinct level). I'm still active, but fear the party may be evolving into something quite different.
If he wins, Trump will move the GOP to the left, away from social issues, away from small-government philosophy, and toward big-government, government run health-care, more crony capitalism, but be able to do so by underlining lower taxes, reforming and disciplining the bloated bureaucracy, (but not weakening it's "legitimate" purposes) strong opposition to immigration, and retreat from engagement on the international scene (while expanding the military), the latter two of which have become hotter and hotter issues, no one else has tapped into them entirely and certainly not with the same passion.
It is not where I want to go. To quote Rush Limbaugh, "I hope he fails."
