It all comes down to “conservative”.
Conservatism is:
Build the Wall
Drain the Swamp
America First In All Things
Pro Life
Pro 2nd Amendment
If you thought you have conservative credentials because you supported the Iraq war and you favor lower spending and lower taxes YOU ARE WRONG. The five metrics are the ONLY metrics. Warmongering is not conservatism, and thinking that what happens with a substance the Fed creates from nothingness actually matters . . . is NOT conservatism.
Washington has not figured this out. Because if you’ve been there over 10 years, you are a Creature of the Swamp.
