I think Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump are three of the five most important and influential conservative figures in American life over the past three decades. (along with Ailes and Murdoch) The conservatism we have is the conservatism they have forged.

1. Newsflash

None of the three are conservative.

They are all con-people.

Scammers.

Scum.

[Ferrets are Cool]

3. Bingo!!

6. THANK YOU!

7. Nobody is a conservative - when it comes to themselves.

The conservatism is for everyone else.

[MontanaMama]

8. Yes.

100% this.

[House of Roberts]

9. I'd call them power-hungry,

wannabe despots.

2. A common trait of these people. They hate democracy.

Putin was what they wanted in our political reality.

4. Two out of the five are dead. The other three are in there seventies.

Let’s wish them Godspeed.

5. It is NOT conservatism; that is

1.
commitment to traditional values and ideas with opposition to change or innovation.
"proponents of theological conservatism"
2.
the holding of political views that favor free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas.

They were and are RADICALs.

11. You are correct.

I cringe every time i hear the word "conservative". They are all just recycled John C. Calhoun and his arguments against the Constitution of the USA and the idea that because you have wealth the laws do not apply.

10. The five of them are actually deplorables..

with zero family values. That's the conservatism they have forged. All five are ugly both inside and outside.
