I was there for the Goldwater presidential campaign in 1964 that launched the conservative movement.
I was there for Ronald Reagan’s 1980 landslide election victory. It was a great conservative victory but not a rejection of America’s ruling class.
Yesterday’s election result was the opening battle of an American political revolution from the presidency, to the congress, the federal courts and the states. President Obama said “his policies were on the ballot” yesterday and the American people said they want to repeal those policies, his legacy and his agenda.
The Bush/Romney wing of the Republican Party is dead and was buried yesterday by the American people.
The old Republican coalition of the Republican establishment as the senior partner and grassroots constitutional conservatives as the junior partner is dead. America’s new governing coalition is the Trump populists and the constitutional grassroots conservatives.
I said in my book, Takeover, that the greatest impediment to governing America according to conservative principles is not the Democrats, but the Republican establishment.
Last night that impediment was swept away by a new conservative-populist majority that elected Donald Trump.
Capitol Hill Republican leaders who cannot help implement the Trump agenda should get out of the way and resign.
Republicans now own the anti-corruption message and one of the most important defining characteristics of the new coalition is that it is the anti-corruption party committed to ending crony corrupt government and exposing and defeating the anti-democratic agenda of the ruling class.
Finally, I want to recognize my good friend Kellyanne Conway, the First Woman to Win the U.S. Presidency.
