Say what you want about Pat Buchanan, but I have some real nostalgia for the days when a presidential candidate would show up at a campaign appearance, notice a group of reporters from a Chinese media outlet in the front row, and tell them to "go back and tell yer boss in Beijing that he won't be selling any more chopsticks in Chinese restaurants here in the U.S. if I'm elected."

Pat could say it better than you.
He's a good columnist, I love him on TV, perhaps not a Carville or a Morris as a political advisor, but that's about it, he's not Presidential material, nor a national spokesman.
Populism is just that, populism, a tactic, not a world view, and certainly not a system of governance.
I wouldn't consider him for dogcatcher, the cat's are probably receiving matching funds.
