    I know exactly one fiscal conservative and she thought the Tea Party was trouble long before either the media or I had figured out they were anything more than a goofy protest group.

    That said, she was one person out of thousands. I used to live in a very red state and the vast majority of my fellow citizens there were the exactly stereotypical bigoted redneck that drumpf’s bombastic style appeals to.

      There are legitimate concerns about our spending and debt. Fiscal conservatives aren’t totally wrong when they bring that up, but it’s never the sacred “free market” that has to take the blows. The last proper fiscal conservative was Eisenhower, and even that’s a mixed bag.
