For its own good, the Democratic Party needs to see Hillary Clinton nominated and defeated.
What a conundrum.
Political prisoner, activist, journalist, hymn-writer, emerging thinktanker, aspiring novelist, "tribal elder", 2019 parliamentary candidate for North West Durham, Shadow Leader of the Opposition, "Speedboat", "The Cockroach", eagerly awaiting the second (or possibly third) attempt to murder me.
I wouldn't mind Ted Cruz, who is also rock-solid in opposing gay marriage, abortion, mass immigration, gun control and every other fetish of the cultural Left.
ReplyDeleteBut, if it is to be Trump, then he is right on the main issues-war, marriage, third world immigration and free trade.
He opposes all four, as Buchanan did in 2000. Which is why he has unsurprisingly won Mr Buchanan's endorsement.
To win endorsement from the grandfather of the paleocon movement is quite something.
Trump opposes marriage? He has done it often enough. Of course, he wouldn't win. Probably no Republican ever will again.
DeleteCruz is a telling example of what the Republican Party has become. As a small town, jobbing lawyer, he is intellectually the most accomplished man that anyone else in what was once the Grand Old Party has ever met.
Beyond the immensely cultured paleo boys, of course. Yes, my mates. Make of that what you will. And even the very Editor of The American Conservative has actually voted for Bernie Sanders.
