WAPO: Where were Republican moderates 20 years ago by Fareed Zakaria
The theme of Zakaria is that conservatives are radicals:
"There have always been radicals on both sides of the political spectrum. But what is different about the conservative movement is that, since the 1990s, some of its most distinguished mainstream members have embraced the rhetoric and tactics of the extremes."
This is bull, conservatism, like all other positions have theoreticians, learned practitioners, and simple people that get it and follow. He also ascribes altruism to Romney and the National Review for taking out their knives on Trump. But he avows to have no clue as to what actually is going on.
Trump is not a problem for the republican party, he is a solution.
We have elected "conservatives" for years and they have been theoretical conservatives, but actual democrats. Money speaks, and that money is now fearing to lose influence. That is the reason for the attacks on Trump, and that is the reason while I and many others support him.
You eventually run out of people's trust, and in a democracy, that is a precious thing which once lost is difficult to regain. You must work for what you promised, and must be effective at producing it. Otherwise you are just smoke.
