OK..fair enough. I guess we would have to agree on the term ‘populism’ before we could really discuss it. It is a word that is often misused and misunderstood. I could turn the question around on you and ask you this:

If the majority of the popular vote went to Gore in 2000, should he have been made President?

But that’s not a populist. A populist is someone who forms their opinions and positions based on what’s popular, not necessarily what’s right. THE best example of a populist? Bill O’Reilly.
