Thanks for the honest reply. I've been very interested in the people who have abandoned their self professed political principles of conservativism for populism. These are interesting times indeed.


I understand that Trump is a populist and not a true conservative. What he has done is taken some conservative principles so that he can have a base for winning elections.What I like about Trump is that he stands for the blue collar workers that have been neglected for decades and doesn't like the swamp in Washington which includes both republicans and democrats.
I noticed that there is a split among conservatives and that the National Review people you mentioned earlier have become more isolated. I find this split to be a good thing.
