. @Mike_Pence wants to warn Republicans about the “siren song of populism.” I want to remind him of what the last half-century of his “traditional conservative principles” actually produced. 1. It produced NAFTA. 2. It produced the WTO deal that handed China our manufacturing base. 3. It produced twenty years of nation-building in the Middle East while our own Nation crumbled. 4. It produced a ruling class of Republicans who won elections, controlled committees, gave speeches about limited government, and delivered NOTHING. Not one inch of a wall. Not one factory brought home. Not one federal agency, activity or department reined in. NOTHING, so stop with your BS! Mike, that is the path you want us to return to. You call it principle. I call it failure with a flag pin on the lapel. The American people did not drift toward populism. They ran toward it because the alternative was another decade of men like you (@VP45) managing their decline while assuring them it was conservatism. We are done being managed. We are done being lectured. We are done watching Washington Republicans cash out while the country falls apart. There is no time for choosing, Mike. The choice was made (three times to be exact). The only person who hasn’t accepted it is YOU. You may as well be speaking to the hand! You’re wasting your time if you believe for a second that you have a shot at the presidency. Americans are now demanding far more leadership than you ever demonstrated. Have a nice day! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
