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.

“The Trump candidacy represents that even conservatives are New Deal Democrats now.”

A Democrat of 1949 is preferable to a Republican of 2014, at least most of them.

Trump is a populist, and he is an outsider. The ruling elite is taking us to disaster. Perhaps Trump will have Cruz as a running mate or a strong adviser.

You cannot have a limited government country without a country.

The ruling elite has been moving us toward a system where the constitution is an awkward footnote.

I think Trump will respect it far more than Obama has, and likely more than Romney, would have.

For one thing, with Trump, you will actually have a media “watchdog”.
