I didn’t read the article yet, but this is the third article I’ve seen recently talking about Buchanan being the original Trump.
Before Trump was Buchanan. Before Buchanan, Perot. Before Perot, John Anderson and before John Anderson, George Wallace. They may not have agreed on all things but their basic attitudes and philosophies were very similar. They all ended up being less than Conservative although at one time Buchanan was more or less a Buckley clone. Then he changed.
