The closest we’ve ever come to all that has been Rep. Ron Paul’s several Presidential runs. But noooo, he was a “nut,” a loserdopian who had the temerity to oppose all foreign aid and got branded an antisemite for it. If I believed in group responsibility and collective guilt, I’d say we should be ashamed of how he was treated. But, I don’t. So, I won’t. It was shameful, though.
He was a nut and no conservative. He DID have good points but not enough to elect him.
