Trump and Ryan have 'shared principles' | National Catholic Reporter

Trump and Ryan have 'shared principles' | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Paul Ryan is not a movement conservative, he is an acolyte of Ayn Rand.  If you wish to compare principles, start there.  I suspect that if Trump said anything, it was something positive about Ayn and probably let Ryan go from there.  As for Trump's principles, there is a case to be made that on both immigration and Muslims, he is pandering to the lowest common denominator of the GOP, so that the trouble is not Trump at all, its the xenophobic racists who support him.  The main principle of the Conservative movement is to keep people like that in the GOP as the shock troops of reaction, for they are certainly reactionaries.  The only Conservative in the race is Clinton, but the Reactionaries would only vote for Palin because, like Trump, she is all reactionary symbolism, with no substance.
