History will show Pat was Tea Party before it was cool. Long story, it happened in Michigan from someone ( I won't say who, I know him ) who egged him on to say "We don't need a 3rd Party we need a Tea Party" at a rallye.

He was so ahead of his time it isn't even freakin' funny. The country turned their back on him, Reagan & Goldwater, in 92' he stood alone on principle. I am not sure Trump has Pat's Epistemological core, or even knows what that means...

True. Illegal immigration, globalization, immigration, free trade etc, etc. Buchanan was ahead of his time.

Trump and Cruz have followed similar themes, though they certainly lack the conviction Buchanan had.
