Use the correct term: Populist Nationalists.
These Trump followers aren't conservatives. You can't be anti-trade and assume that label.
The disease has totally overtaken the host at this point. I don't see a GOP anymore. I see a bunch of bickering factions only aligned in the fact that they don't want to pay more in taxes.
Trump's a clown. What Follows Trump is going to be interesting.
An aside... I ran into an old line R congressman the other nite. I asked if he'd worked with Trump and if Trump was truly as dumb as he seemed. This person said he's actually quite smart, but does not like to read, has no patience, and doesn't wish to become informed on issues because that would cause him to rethink his planks, and it's easier for him to just ignore criticism and chug ahead. That's the description of a strange, lazy person.
