Pitchfork Pat is not onboard with JEB! 2016...yet

Nixon, not Wallace, is the one.

Patrick J. Buchanan, one of the Nixon era architects (along with Kevin Phillips) of the Southern Strategy, which ultimately under Lee Atwater and the currently collapsing variation created by Karl Rove has brought the Republican Party to the brink of ruin, is not on board with JEB! 2016. Yet.  In a recent op-ed piece entitled If Jeb And Hillary Both Run In 2016, It Will Be God’s Gift To Pitchfork Populists, Pat makes his point with usual bluntness:

"No two people [JEB! and Hillary] ever milked a political office for more than these two have milked the presidency of the United States. And no two people are more wired in to the Hollywood, Wall Street and Washington elites. If Jeb and Hillary are both in the lists in 2016, it will be God’s gift to pitchfork populists."

Kevin Phillips long ago sought forgiveness for his political sins from the mainstream media and publishing worlds, and has faded into relative obscurity and irrelevance, but Pat takes a different path. He bites the hand that used to feed him, and keeps himself interesting.
