Is Trump the Candidate Reform Conservatives Are Seeking?
many Republican voters are not devotees of supply-side economics and are more interested in the right kind of government than in a simply smaller one.
.. “Trump served notice that the donors’ platform isn’t even acceptable inside the party,” Mr. Frum said.
.. In an analogy that won’t make anyone very comfortable, he said Mr. Trump could be useful in the same way George Wallace was in 1968: “Wallace talked about a lot of issues, many of them pretty dismaying, but he also seized on the crime issue. Crime was rising fast, and it was not an issue that respectable politicians wanted to talk about. The result was that Richard Nixon stole his issue and deracialized it.”
Well, not exactly.
