Pat Buchanan: Regardless of nominee, Donald Trump surge marks 'death rattle' of establishment
...
We hear wails that the nomination of Trump would mean the end of the conservative movement. But how so?
If Trump won and conducted a conservative government, it would validate the movement. If Trump won and turned left, it would inspire an insurgency like Ronald Reagans in 1976, when the Ford-Rockefeller-Kissinger administration moved too far toward detente.
If Trump ran and lost, the conservative movement would have President Clinton to unite and rally the troops against.
One recalls Barry Goldwaters historic wipeout in 1964. But, in 1966, Republicans made the greatest gains in a generation, and went on to win the presidency for 20 of the next 24 years.
Undeniably, a Trump presidency would mean an end to the Bush and establishment policies on trade, immigration and intervention.

We need to bring john boehner back to dc on Trump’s inaugural just so Trump can re-fire his establishment a$$.
True. But it's also true that America is considerably more socialist now than it was 50 years, ago, despite Reagan.
And those barbells are as fake as Ryan’s conservatism!
Well, be sure to keep that positive attitude... “:^)
Bingo!
Look at Massachusetts. There’s a huge change going on there. New York...
This could by YUGE before it’s over.
Did I read that right? You are concerned about a brand?
Rat poison that says "Gerber's Babies Food" and you would stop anyone from telling America what's inside to save the brand?
Maybe I read that wrong. Surely your not employed by the GOP in some way.
If Trump is elected President as a Republican, and if he does a crappy job, then the voters are not going to turn right around and give the office to a different Republican. They'll give it to a Democrat.
If you think saying that makes me some kind of party stooge, you need some medication.
The Republic is too far gone for that.

If you’ve got Buchannan, Palin, Jerry Falwell Jr, and Sen. Sessions - you’ve got a pretty darned big cross section of the conservative movement, from movement conservatives to mavericks, evangelicals to hardliners.
The point is, the so called 'brand' is an outright lie. There is no 'GOP' inside that Gerber Baby Food jar, there is poison. Trump would be wise be to un-enroll from the GOP the day he's elected. I really think it's time to put that thing out of it's misery ... the 'brand.'
But if I falsely took you for a brand-rep ... well, I still disagree with much worth in it. If the country is lost, it will be over the next 8 years. What follows is immaterial. If the electorate goes Dem for the next 8 years, it's over, brand won't matter at all.
Therefore, if you like him, and he's running as a Republican, than it would seem to behoove both of you to improve that brand name as much as possible.
Put a fork in Tokyo Rove, he’s done!
He can’t beat Hillary.
Why call them “establishment”. Why not call them what they are? Call them GOP Left. They are leftist in their perspectives, and their pursuits.
Calling them other than what they are is aiding, and abetting their disguise.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
IMO Trump is just another Crony Capitalist Globalist who wants to take out another clique of Crony Capitalist Globalists.
If anything, 2010 and 2014 should have taught everyone that the political system is not going to bring any real change.
I was anti Trump, but I have come to realize what do we really have to lose? Obama has done more harm to this nation than any President since FDR......It is all down hill from here unless whoever becomes President tackles the big fiscal issues 20 Trillion national debt by the Inauguration, economy in the tank taxes going up, up, up, the trajectory is untenable there will be a reckoning.
