And look where the GOP is today. Look where the U.S. is today. Total decline.
I think most favored nation status for China is when free trade agreements stopped being authentic.
The TPP is cronyist garbage for big business, and allows backdoor de facto amnesty for aliens who come to America.
“Whose” to blame? Really? “Whose”?
For the grammar-deficient, try “Who’s” as in “Who is”.
ARGH!
How could a high tax, big government type like Buchanan, whether he claimed to be a Republican or admitted he was Democrat like he is, cause a civil war in the GOP.
The most obvious change since 1988 and now is that in 1988 the Democrat brand was at a low. GHW Bush ran on the simple platform of calling his opponent a liberal. Liberal was such a dirty word that leftist gave up that word they had appropriated from advocates of freedom and went back to a prior discredited brand of theirs, progressivism.
Since then the situation has switched. By working through the culture the GOP or Republican brand has been discredited at least with style voters. Democrats are seen as hip while Republicans as old and out of it. But that probably peaked in 2008. Obama was still avant-garde enough to win reelection in 2012.
The Dims betting this will work again in 2016. The problem is their likely candidate doesn’t have much if any style. So will those low attachment voters who put Obama over the top twice, bother to come out and vote this year. Remember even the youtube sensation “Obama Girl” in 2008 did not get around to actually voting for him. These voters are hard to motivate unless you can sell them on the it is cool factor to vote for you. Are they really going to think it is cool to vote for the current Dim front runner?
Whose going to loose?
Gotta love WSJ, doncha? GWHB and Dole both lost big to Clinton, but you’d think somehow Buchanan was the guy that lost.
PAT WAS RIGHT!!!! I always supported him back then on trade and immigration.
I don't see much evidence of this supposed rage.
Amen
If I could say it as briefly possible, “Because GOP politicians are more concerned about their DC/national image than what their constituents want.”
Sometimes its tough to tell whose in charge, unless you aks.

after the GOP (Gave Obama Power) party put the
impostor in office, the GOP focused on imposing
RomneyCARE and RomneyMarriage and arming al Qaeda.
of what use is the GOP to America?
NONE.
Yes, massive election wins in congress last two cycles, took the senate in 2014, own a large majority of the Governorships, large majority of State houses are GOP controlled...
A huge number of young energetic GOP running for POTUS, (some are even conservatives ! )
Buchanan sure has a weird definition of "hard times"
blame Perot. Without Perot, HW wins and gets credit for the recovery and liberalism is discredited for another generation...maybe we get a flat tax...with clinton, he gets credit for the recovery and budget and is able to get the media libtards to circle the wagons and gop never truly recovered....
The people of the GOP that’s whose
