The Neo-Con's Never-Ending War on Trump

12-Year War to Stop Trump an Unmitigated Disaster: Trump the Frontrunner +28.7

Washington — In 2005 Pat Buchanan published “Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency.” Buchanan’s contention was George W. Bush administration and Beltway conservatives abandoned their principles, hijacked US foreign policy, and sacrificed the American worker on the altar of free trade, throwing out the beliefs of Taft, Goldwater and Reagan to become a party of Big Government that sells its soul to the highest bidder.

Buchanan’s book was published just after Neo-Con George W. Bush defeated John Kerry to win a second term. Four and eight years later, Barack Obama defeated two other GOP Neo-Cons, Sen. John McCain, and in 2012, Mitt Romney. It was during those two presidential cycles that the Neo-Cons began coming under increasing fire from the Right. Paleo-Con Rep. Ron Paul ran renegade presidential campaigns in ‘08 and ‘12, both of which birthed the Tea Party. Paul and the Tea Party picked up Paleo-Con Buchanan’s contention that Neo-Cons wrecked the Republican Party, that the Establishment could not be trusted, and that Neo-Cons were largely to blame. The twin defeats of McCain and Romney, both Neo-Cons, signaled the beginning of the end for the Neo-Cons in the GOP.
