a Conservative is NOT going to win the race this time. A POPULIST will.

That's because America is not conservative--it is definitely not "progressive" in the Democrat-Marxist sense, but it is also not conservative in the Judeo/Christian-Locke sense. Getting America back to our Founders' thinking is a long-term task, and it will take a combination of a generation of overthrowing the educational system, combined with a generation of filling SCOTUS with Thomas/Scalia clones, to accomplish. In the meantime, populist is better than progressive, and for right now I think Trump/Cruz is out best bet, though I would be happier with Cruz/Trump myself.

The Conservative brand has, at least for the time being, been tainted by Beltway types always standing in rock-ribbed support for whatever the Chamber of Commerce wanted. Even things that, in the long run, were not good for America. The voters’ patience has run out.
