Consider this, if you will: the 2016 election is not about a "conservative" v. a "liberal." Nor is it about "right" v. "left."
The 2016 election is an American Nationalist v. a Globalist.
Americans of many stripes will be rallying around the American Nationalist in a last gasp effort to save this nation.
Just for the record, American nationalism with a tinge of isolationism, is actually a very paleo-conservative concept. George Washington would be appalled at American interventionism.
Additionally even William F Buckley was in favor of defensive tariffs.
Also, I have nearly all my life rejected the idea that we should massively subsidize the defense of Europe, while they engage in economic aggression against us. Let them have to make the “guns vs butter” choices that we have had to make.
And if being in NATO means we have to defend Turkey, then GTH out of NATO.
And I think Cruz conservatives (like myself) need to get onboard with Trump to make sure we have some skin in the game and can hold his feet to the fire on social conservative issues, such as nominating originalist SCOTUS justices (which is not a neo-conservative idea, but it is a paleo-conservative one).
