re: #183 Barefoot Grin

Just scanned an article at Politico about Pat Buchanan: “The ideas made it, but I didn’t.”

Basically it claims that in Trump we see the culmination of PB’s basic positions except without Buchanan in the WH. Damned if I don’t agree.

Because PB was a politician. Trump’s marketing ploy was to sell himself as the anti-politician. As a result, he could violate every rule for and convention of campaigning and not only get away with it, but even gain more supporters.
