Yesterday I mentioned Jonah Goldberg’s essay about his angst over conservatives of his acquaintance ’embracing’ Trump. In retrospect, it seems as though he pointed towards a guy from Breitbart because otherwise he might be hitting close to home.

 

One of the BIG IDEAS floated by self-proclaimed conservative theorists for winning in 2016 was the Reform Conservative or “Reformocon” agenda. As if compassionate conservatism didn’t do enough damage in 2000 and 2004. (If you want to understand what this movement is supposed to be, read this. As best as I can describe it, it is big government solutions to enable small government outcomes.) National Review writers are profusely represented in the group.

 

Josh Barro, of the New York Times, half-serious and half-trolling asks the question Is Trump the Candidate Reform Conservatives Are Seeking?

God I Hope Not!!

As I have said.....

The problem I have with DT, is...Does Anyone actually expect him to really do something about the problems facing the next Republican president?

 

"That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

 

To many Republicans/Conservatives are acting like the Paulbots in 08-12.

 

Alas even when he goes away (today would work for me) he will still be around shoot his mouth off about this & that..Pay Attention To Me
