Now that Trump is for increasing the minimum wage, tax increase, hired a guy from Goldman Sachs as his finance chairman who has donated to Soros, agrees with the LGBT about public bathrooms how far left will he go? Conservatism hasn't had a chance because many of them in congress have been corrupted with power becoming career politicians.

Conservatism hasn't had a chance because many of them in congress have been corrupted with power becoming career politicians.

That is why Conservatism is never going to work. Reagan managed a partial conservative presidency, but he was saddled by the establishment GOP with GHW Bush. That Bush influence has permeated the party ever since.

Levin has said over and over that "we need a new Republican party." Note that he has never said exactly what that 'new' party would be or how it would differ from the current one. But calling for a 'new' one sounds good to his radio listeners.

"Conservatism hasn't had a chance ... " because none of the so-called conservatives have had to backbone to challenge. They started to challenge Boehner in January 2013 and backed down. They started to again in January 2015 and backed down. The only reason Boehner stepped down was because he feared a 3rd attempt (January 2017) might succeed and he wanted to leave on a high note.
