So much for Trump, the anti-interventionist

Donald Trump: Massive ground force may be needed to fight ISIS

You really want moderation in foreign policy?

Bernie is your only hope.

Hat tip to Rod Dreher.

Teflon Trump's the One

Whatever his imperfections, Trump is mostly hated by professional Republicans and Democrats because he stands for the idea that US foreign policy, economic policy, and immigration policy ought to be run in the interests of the American people, not some abstract ideal of trade globalism, internationalism, or the interests of multinational corporations and minority-group lobbies.

And I keep hearing from readers — conservative Republicans! — who say that if Trump does nothing else, the fact that he has smashed the Republican Party is an admirable achievement. 

They’ll get no argument from me on that one, for sure. 

The panic and misery of Conservatism, Inc., is a pleasure.
