I understand where you are coming from & I like Ted, but there is no longer a “conservative movement” to save.....there is only conservatism incorporated. Trump is rolling because he’s seen as a populist/nationalist. And that’s what the public is drawn to because this country is way past ideology now.
Don’t spew that GROSSLY OFFENSIVE talking point that we are “past ideology.” There is NOTHING that matters besides ideology. I only vote for people who agree with me on the issues, period. What other possible reason could there be to vote for someone? I have to agree with the policies they’re going to put in place.
If we’re “past ideology,” why don’t you go on Democrat Underground? What’s the difference between there and here? What you’re saying is fundamentally stupid, false and dangerous.
What Trump’s running on is a huge brand name and name recognition. Nothing else. This country is obsessed with celebrity, ever since reality TV started and people were able to get famous for being famous. The country is extremely ignorant on the issues. The ONLY way to save the country is to TEACH them the conservative ideology they aren’t being taught in liberal schools.
If you say ideology doesn’t matter, you are a TRAITOR to the cause and worse than useless, you’re destructive.
