This was especially juicy: “Another explanation for the split is that DeMint strayed from conservative principles by getting too close to the populist-styled Trump . . “
Another stupid move to head for oblivion, just like FOX.
A philosophy/practicality schism. No big deal.
What’s amazing is how little change is happening at conservative establishments now.
If DeMint is too much for them, i doubt that they would accept Bannon. There’s been speculation that Steve may be taking that spot.
The globalist elites hate true conservatives
THC had an interesting take on Demint’s future plans - helping the WH craft legislation which Congress has NOT done and lobbyists will not do as Trump’s agenda conflicts with their goals.
Jim knew he was out when he kept other people at Heritage Foundation from pumping out a paper or two that were just like the NR #NeverTrump issue.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he tendered his resignation at that time but Heritage persuaded him to stay until the end of first quarter 2017.
JMHo
This is bad news. When DeMint was in the Senate, he was one of the most reliable conservatives in the place, and he took that to Heritage. Apparently, there is a coup going on by those who do not support the principles for which teh Heritage Foundation has always stood.
