Me to, But this time Sowell is the elitist who is telling us that the guy who can work with the blue collar types can’t represent the GOP Well, Trump may be able to relate to the blue collars, but he has had a lifetime of accomplishments (and some flops) but he is in the arena. This time Sowell is in the Ivory tower. I’m sorry but Trump can trash Hillary and does not even care that her supporters are “deeply offended by his remarks”.

To me all they are trying to do (libertarian talking heads) is being paid to fool the American people into thinking free trade is good for them. We have had 20 years of free trade and the verdict is in and it failed the vast majority of wage earners.

At this point I think the conservative pundits were playing conservatives for suckers - they were making us conservatives upset on social issues to distract us while they allowed more free trade deals to go through and more illegal immigration. They conservative establishment conned us.

(For those who did not get what I was getting at the first read - I am not saying conservative values are a con - only that the Establishment used those conservative values to distract the base away from galvanizing around trade and immigration.)
