I am sure he made the decision to run with the article and I am sure that he knows more about Trump than you do.
Rich spends millions to try to limit the size of the Federal Government. If he believed Trump wasn't on board with that, he most certainly would not have his employee publish such an article.
How ya like them apples?
I just call them as I see them. Trump is a Democrat of the pre 1968 type. I live in Realville, USA and understand that my type of small government, free market conservatism has failed miserably in the battle of ideas. It has not made a dent in the American way of thinking. The Trump candidacy represents that even conservatives are New Deal Democrats now.
So the author probably has business ties to Trump, he is hardly unbiased.
