And it isn't just that; there's a pattern. It's what he did by appointing William Barr AG. Or Andrew Wheeler as head of EPA.These aren't solid conservative voices, not at all.They're people put in positions of authority in agencies where their function is basically to destroy it

No, that's not what high-minded conservatism is. High-minded conservatism would wish those agencies bare-boned, perhaps, but not turned into mere empty shells.

I respectfully disagree. The common thread from Goldwater to Reagan to Trump has been casting government in all its forms as the villain. It serves the conservative purpose to gut agencies and services, then point to those exact institutions as examples of what’s wrong.

Yes, I understand that. But something is going on now that's beyond that...gone one step further...don't you think?

Additionally, thank you for your response! It’s refreshing to see a candidate for president take the time to communicate with the people directly rather than tweets that are canned, mass marketing advertisements.
