The country couldn't exist without it and you know it.
Trump does not believe in limited government. The reason the GOPe "hated" him is that he didn't seem predisposed toward their crooks. Therefore, what will result if he takes the Presidency is that we will get a different set of crooks. If the GOPe can get theirs in the deal they'll be perfectly happy, albeit with a sour taste on style points. No matter what, Trump will do nothing to halt the cheap labor express. That's the biggie.
The whole idea of limited government is that it wouldn't have the power to sell favors, which is what most conservatives fail to grasp. Under its Constitutional limits, the Federal government could do nothing but remove barriers to commerce from State to State. That is not at all what our lover of eminent domain even thinks he's going to bring. All he talks about is what HE will do, with no mention of Congress or Constitutional limits at all, this despite the fact that most of what he promises is not within the immediate powers of the Presidency.
Limited government died along with Abe Lincoln. It’s a great way to bet someone about the head and shoulders, but it hasn’t been extant for 150 years.
The best we can hope for is controlling the beast. For now.
