Don't have any difficulty reading. The blog rant is a confused mash-up of why having core beliefs is important, and why Trump's followers -- like their Messiah -- don't have any.

Your ideology-free candidate can claim any position he wants, and you and the other acolytes will redefine that as "conservatism." I have no doubt that when Drumpf tells you that sticking scissors in a baby's brain is really "compassionate conservatism" the Spirit of Populism will move you to redefine the meaning of pro life yet again.

Lincoln's famous question about how many legs a calf has if we call the tail a leg comes to mind. Only one problem: the meaning of conservatism hasn't changed, and you haven't achieved anything the least bit conservative simply by calling non-conservative things that animate a mob "conservative."

Which conservatism? George Washington and Alexander Hamilton’s conservatism? Oh, yeah, they are with TRUMP on tariffs.

You’re the one in serious need of reviewing what constitutes conservative.
