“It doesn’t appear that we know actually what the “conservatives” are going to do, as they have no alternatives that will pass the Senate, and they’re so stupid they think repealing an entitlement all at once is going to endear them to the voters. These people are only good at being an opposition party, but cannot govern nor operate as winners on a political level. The whole lot need to be thrown out and replaced with common sense Populists.”
REPEAL PERIOD! It is not a Power or under the Authority of the Federal Government PERIOD
FREE MARKET.
God Bless
Take a look at how the South voted. Ted Cruz and all his minions on the internet and radio beat the crap out of the "free market" stuff, and "muh constitution," and "freedom!", even as Cruz stood there on stage and stood up for Chinese manufacturing. People like Ben Shapiro and National Review spoke all day long about free market economics. What was the result?
Trump, accused of being a moderate, or even an economic liberal, dominated the South during the primaries and won middle America and moderate to left leaning states. The South didn't care about Cruz's "conservative principles," because, as it turns out, they're Patriots with a strong populist bent. Esoteric conservatism with its pretensions towards economic libertarianism and hard line solutions right on down to privatizing social security or raising the retirement age is just something that even southerners don't care about.
And if you don't even have the south you don't have conservatism.
I would say, "let's kill this abstract, utopian ideology," but it's already dead. Trump killed it. Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, National Review, they were all right that Trump would kill conservatism. He did. But now we have something a lot better: common sense Nationalism, free of any ideology except America First.
So it goes to the Senate....then what?
