I don't think Pat's coming back, he's just staying out there way ahead of the floundering establishment politicos, who are trying to profit by manipulating reality, and daring them to catch up and acknowledge the actuality of the present.
This seems more obvious as time passes and we witness all the hacks and other foolish minions of the political establishment’s “amen corner” never really denying the truth Buchanan presents, just hating him for doing so.
More profound words have not been written in these pages, let alone this thread. Well put.
