After two days of the “Conservative” Political Action Conference, it became abundantly clear: The Republican Party is no longer the place for me.
I don’t know what I expected, honestly. I knew that the Grand Old Party was now the party of President Donald Trump, that traditional conservatives such as Sens. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, and Marco Rubio, R-Florida, were now an unwelcome fringe and that stirrings of populism and nationalism were making the rounds throughout a changing party.
Trump’s nomination dealt a massive blow to my political optimism, but for some reason, I still held onto the belief that the GOP remained a net good and that Trump’s “winning” outweighed the white nationalist element of the party that keeps rearing its ugly head. Plus, my Hillsdale bubble kept me immersed in real conservatism.

Funny to hear him complain about the alleged white nationalist element when it’s been the Dems who’ve been the party of racists all of these years. In the old days it was George Wallace and the KKK and nowadays it’s Al Sharpton, Keith Ellison, Obama, BLM, etc.
I guess that little Josh doesn’t realize that Trump has done more to protect our constitution with his one year’s worth of judicial nominees, deregulations and tax reform than “Republicans” Bush Sr and GWBush did in their 16 years in office.
Josh, you’re not worthy of Hillsdale College — grow up and wise up.
Well if he thinks they are conservatives then I guess he isn't actually one himself.
You know when they reach for a line like that they are Cheap Labor Express propagandists.
The only solution is surrender, of the rule of law and the country to these bastards.
More like - must have transferred into Hillsdale his eighth year, from a five year state school.
I was directing my snark to Josh.
You can lead a moronial to knowledge, but you can’t make him think
Poppy and Dubya only got 12 years between them because Bubba the Slug beat him out of a second term.
One would think that would cause bad blood, but they adopted him instead.....
“that traditional conservatives such as Sens. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, and Marco Rubio, R-Florida,”
I’ll say it in Spanish, l know the author will understand.
Idiota.
Don't know which one of them on stage is him, but I'm going with the guy in the space suit.
And then using terms like ‘white nationalists’ is moronic, it’s accepting of Hillary Clinton's narrative for crying out loud!
Go kiss Hillary's ass some more you SOB.
I wouldn’t exactly say that CPAC is the heart and soul of the Republican Party.
I’ll bet this little zib is a hit with the ladies.../S
If Marco Rubio is the answer, then you are asking the wrong questions.
You’re right, of course, it was only 12 years. It just seemed like 16 years.
Bye Felicia
Another sniveling whiner heard from...

Yeah, if lil Josh wants to see some ‘real conservatism’ he may have venture out of the Hillsdale College campus to the nether regions of Jonesville and beyond.
There are legions of real conservatives in the area around Hillsdale, but they’ll have little time for snowflakes like Josh.
Well....bye
