They realized there is no way to know exactly how Reagan would have reacted to this new situation, but they felt they were continuing his policies in the new situation.
The new in Neo-Con was not a new policy, but a new world situation.
They had no problem calling themselves Neo-Cons... Until they failed miserably. Then suddenly no one was a Neo-Con.
Alt Right is also something that a lot of people claimed they were, before it too failed, and now they are denying it. Bannon said he had turned Breitbart into the "platform of the Alt Right." There was no shame for him saying that then. Only when his ideology started coming to light was there shame. Again, it is not the term that is the problem, but the people behind the term.
The Right Wing was becoming strong supporters of free trade, open borders, globalism, and corporations. If you are going to say government should not control the economy, it is natural to say that should be also be true about the parts of the economy involved with international trade. The Alt Right is an alternate right wing view on this, where there is strong nationalism, rather than free trade. That extends to nationalism about culture, and even race. But in its pure form it means a more nationalist, less global economic policy.
Texas' early voting has heavily tilted towards traditionally Democratic voters (young, Black, and/or Hispanic). Other states have been likewise. The reports I have heard is that Democrats are surging in early voting, and Republicans not as much.
But of course in modern America, we get our news from very different sources, and therefore have very different facts to deal with.
Not really. Miami is one of the biggest cities with a Republican mayor. It has a strong Cuban population who are the only major group of Hispanics more likely to vote for Republicans than Democrats. It is a competitive area.
I honestly do not believe that is true. Which Alt Right news source did you get that claim from?

My favorite revisionist dictionary term used by the left is the attempt to replace CHILD or BABY (gestating in the female womb).......as a FETUS.....it just rolls off the tongue much easier than unborn child as the left attempts to de-humanize the life that science proves exists within the womb. The same with politics.......the left attempts to present any opposing viewpoint as hate speech when in reality its all based upon nothing but psychological projection of their own lack of morality.
