[Perhaps this will explain it better than I can....
Wow.
I'm surprised to say this, but I think he's on to something.
But what does that say about the support that Trump has gotten from Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin, among others?
Does this mean that they are no longer conservatives, that they are really populist nationalists?

Trump isn't a conservative.
Never has been, never will be.
That's why it is so funny that so many "conservatives" think he is.
The MAJORITY of Republicans/Conservatives/Libertarians/Independents give ZERO ***** what he is. They like him for what he stands for and want him as the nominee. It's really that simple. You will not find a Trump supporter who says "I love Donald for his conservative values!!"Who decides wtf conservative values are any way? Is there a guidebook? If your pro choice are you automatically eliminated from the conservative club?
**** labels.
But there is a disconnect here. Up until Trump it was ALL about labels. It looks as though all these conservatives who support Trump have completely abandoned their "conservative values".
For decades we've been told that conservatism is the way to go, that the country is based on conservative values.
Absolute commitment. The more conservatism the better. Then one day this guy shows up who will say absolutely
anything and who is
clearly not a down-the-line conservative, and he even gets people like Limbaugh, Hannity & Levin defending him.
One day it's all about conservative values, the next day it's anti-establishment, or whatever this is. Priorities have clearly changed. That's what is so confusing.
