Populism

“[C]onservatives in America are struggling with an essential question… whether we will continue on the path of the traditional conservative agenda that has defined our party and, in so many ways, our nation throughout our history… or whether our party will follow the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles.” - C.Leaders

I wonder if anyone is listening to Mike Pence these days. It's hard to imagine that he has much credibility with traditional conservatives, since he joined the Trump train in 2015 long before many held their noses and voted for President Trump. At the same time I can't imagine many right-wing populists have time for Pence, since he has demonstrated an unwillingness to embrace the new coalition.
