“He did advocate for the free flow of trade and labor across borders.”
Road apples. If you have borders, the flow is not free; it is subject to regulation. He advocated for an absence of senseless and counterproductive restrictions, not for their complete absence.
“And it is a classic, established conservative position.”
You fail to make the crucial distinction between a suicidal lack of control, which is the leftist position, and sensible policies that maximize prosperity, which is the conservative position.
“One from which the Republican party will not deviate.”
Are you seriously trying to equate the Republican Party with conservatism? Really?
“And thats because Conservatives hold nationalism below orthodoxy. Ideological purity is their goal, no matter the result.”
Hillary, is that you? Bill Ayers? Cloward? Piven? Is that you?
You’re as full of crap as a Christmas goose.
We also need to stop letting the left define the argument. Although we won the election, the left is *still* shaping the debate. As evidence: the completely unfounded claim that Russia influenced the election has been at the top of the news cycle for days, despite the fact that absolutely no evidence of such influence or description of how the Russians supposedly effected such influence has yet to be produced. Fox News should be dismissing the claim mockingly, not taking it seriously, and certainly not giving it hours and hours of coverage.
