I wish Trump would, but he's going to make deals and go down as one of the most liberal Republicans of all time.

Would be hard to top Nixon and Bush 43.

Something that is taking shape is the transformation of terminology here. Liberal and conservative are getting supplanted by "Globalism and Nationalism."

I can't defend Trump anymore, partly for the reason that I don't know what a conservative is anymore. Bush Republicanism is what most 'conservative' people seem to want, that or Ted "Body of Christ" Cruz. I'm not evangelical, and I'm not a Neo-con Bushite, but I'd always called myself 'very conservative.'

The other reason being that I have Neo-Cons telling me how Trump is a liberal, and liberals calling him a far right fascist. I can't argue both ways.

Trump most closely resembles Andrew Jackson, more than any other president. The more I read about Jackson the more I like, and the more I realize the public school drive by narrative is built on the dual narrative of 'Trail of Tears' and 'states rights' which only require about 10 minutes of research to dispute whether Jackson was wrong in either case.

You will not convince me that after 8 years of terrible executive leadership, I need to save the nation by voting in another first term senator because 'he agrees with us.' Cruz and Rubio still have NO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE. Deal breaker for me.
