Neither are the liberal/democrat. they have dropped in the percentage of the people that supports the party. so I do believe conservative still has the edge over that. are you serious? this is over some prediction from 1996?

and this is from the WEAK. so it won't be in the Republican/conservatives favor.

There is a difference between being a populist and being a nationalist dictator wannabee.
Not willing to elect a guy who is never wrong and is used to being a tyrant in order to get BOTH..

There is nothing wrong with being a "globalist" as long as you don't roll over on every trade negotiation or focus on "economic imperialism" and try to dictate standards to the rest of the world. And there's nothing wrong with being restrained on global interventions --- if you realize what a THREAT to national security looks like.

The populist part is long overdue -- since the markets are NOT truly free or fair. Even us Libertarians recognized that ages ago. And that's where the national interests become more focused on working Americans and less focused on how much power is for sale at all levels of government.

The solution to the power for sale problem -- is not to elect billionaire demagogues or socialists. It's to reduce the power and scope of govt to it's LEGAL bounds. And have them concentrate on stuff they have a chance of fixing.

No power to give -- no money to kickback. That's a conservative principle that the GOP hasn't practiced in decades.

Conservatives have never been considered "popular" as libitards have that title. Never mind that conservatives are smarter, the 'tards are more pervasive. Stupidity reigns.

Here is the problem with your synopsis--------------> Conservatives want......in fact need the ruling class out of Washington. It is not as much of the GOP driving Trump, as it is the independents and blue collar Democrats. (I know, you don't believe it. Same is true for Bernie with a bunch of youth mixed in)

Conservatives main concern has always been the spending, deficit, and national debt. (proving conclusively that GW was NOT a conservative) If we are going into debt, it had better be for a very good reason. (like dismantling our former number 1 enemy, the USSR)

Now we conservatives have 2 plains to work on.........Cruz, who will work against the establishment to lower spending, or Trump, who we believe will grow the economy massively because of his business acumen. In either case, the deficit shrinks because of less spending, or massive tax revenue increases.

We can all argue about our societal preferences, AFTER we return solvency to the republic. Why? Because without solvency, there is no society to argue over, and there is no republic within the not to distant future.

The truth is what it is, and if nothing else, we conservatives are pragmatic!

I think that's the point. The gop is no longer the party of Reagan. His quote about protecting the 1%. I don't worry about the rich too much because they seem to be able to look after themselves.

But, trying to apply Reagan econ policy today should not be encouraged. Our tax policy is about 180degrees from 1976, and our fiscal situation is about that as well.

Tax reform, unleash our energy sector, cut Regulations, shrink the size of government generally. We are spending ourselves into oblivion

Well yeah, but building a wall, expanding federal courts to deport all the illegals, which would equal the cost of the war on drugs, registering muslims isn't exactly small govt. There's no way to have a single page tax return w/o doing away with middle class tax goodies, but Trump isn't acknowledging it. We aren't short of oil or natl gas.

Regulations? Some regulations are necessary to make private markets transparent, e.g. mortgage market. Some regulations are necessary for health, e.g. Flint. Trump is at best, incoherent.

I'll agree the powers that control the gop don't like him. But then neither do the powers that would fight regulations that fail to do what regulations should do, and instead cloud market transparency. That's a direct reference to the Kochs. I see more demigod than market reformer ... so far. But, I am sure that my state of Miss will go for Donald and Hillary in the primary.

The following picture is what many Americans think of our own Gov't.

Say the right words and phrases that they dislike about our Gov't and you have a Mob to vote for you.

Trump understands this. You just need to say the right words to get them to light the torches.
