I haven't always been the biggest Newt supporter, but he's right on this count. The left didn't take control of huge chunks of our society and government overnight. They understand, and have exploited the notion of incrementalism over the past 100+ years to slowly move things in their direction. You can't spend years wandering into the forest and expect to find your way out in one day. Cruz may have (arguably) been the storybook conservative of many people's dreams but even if elected, he was not going to instantly restore us to our founding principles in his first 100 days in office, his first four years in office or his first eight years in office.

Long before the left took control of the media and fedgov, they took control of the language, and have consequently owned the battlefield on which the philosophical battles of the culture war have been fought. If Trump does nothing more with his presidency than shatter the stranglehold of political correctness he will have made a major contribution towards any hope of ever restoring this nation to what our founders intended it to be.

Well said, Joe 6-pack!

How do you write an executive order that stops “political correctness?”

Passing same-sex marriage was the ultimate victory for political correctness. Unless that’s overturned by a future court, political correctness will continue unabated. When you say the law cannot distinguish between men and women under any circumstances, political correctness becomes the law.

I would hope Trump would’ve appointed justices who would not have passed it. But the cat’s out of the bag now. I have no concept of what “stopping political correctness” looks like and how any President can achieve it. Trump’s been supportive of affirmative action as well, another huge form of political correctness.

With Trump as the presumptive nominee, the job of conservatives must be to push him to the right, like Bush had to be pushed on his Supreme Court nominees and some other issues.

Absolutely. Agree 100%.
