Pat Buchanan "The Greatest Comeback"

politics-prose....
In 1966 Buchanan joined Nixon’s staff of two; in 1968 he became President Nixon’s senior advisor. Drawing on his experiences as a Nixon intimate, in conjunction with a detailed analysis of the period’s social and political events, Buchanan closely examines how a man so bitterly and decisively beaten as Nixon was in both a presidential and a gubernatorial election could go on to become the nation’s 37th president.

Just learned about Buchanan and his thoughts through several videos. Seems he anticipated the now long ago and before everyone else. And his insights are from his talent to observe interprete and understand and because he could read the important sources for true conservatism. Plus, he has a nice humor. Really enjoy seeing and hearing him.

[@angelsaltamontes7336]

Tatiana Kouracheva ([Buchanan] should have been...at least an advisor")---Oh, Pat's an advisor, Tatiana. Pat's DEFINITELY an advisor, Friends can argue the height & size of their champions' pulpits; i do & i bet you do. But Pat is DEFINITELY among those counseling the present chief. I've no doubt he has continuously advised at the levels Cabinet and below through the "out years"; i would be surprised & somebody'd have to prove otherwise. A key point is ideology---whether to practice it to exclusion. I am SURE there have been Presidents (and other high muckymucks) not just of opposing creeds but "friendly" ones who have refused Pat Buchanan a hearing. Every one of those politicians has only hurt themselves & "their" peoples. Pat is a living treasure, & a big part of the half-empty nature of this world as a glass is that among the things they're not making, they're not making any more Pat Buchanans. -----While he yet speaks, may those with ears hear.

[@mylespeterman5775]

An absolutely brilliant man with a front seat to history. Can't help but wonder what America would be like if he won in 1992.

[@TheTrueObelus]

I like Buchanan but his politics would be bad for the country.

The Country would have had another chance at conservatism. The country would not have swung so far left so fast. At least it would have been delaid.

Yes, seems very obvious. Saw an interview of 2012 at Hoover Institute where Pat Buchanans ideas and words are almost full overlapping with to Trumps.

I wish pat Buchanan would run for president right now. He is a very smart guy. I love him.good person. Stay alive for the next president mr Buchanan.

[@humanforfreedom9583]

Yes but he didn’t actually enforce it. Trumps presidency as seen more immigration than Obama. He’s just stopped all immigration for couple months but he’s still allowed more than Obama. He’s also gone along with the deep state and waged a interventionist foreign policy which is contrary to true conservative values.

[@RM-xf9gi]

Putin is Trump's campaign manager. All credit needs to be given to him.

[@zse4cft6bhu8mko0]

@@humanforfreedom9583 While I'm with you on most of that, I will give him some credit that hes been trying to pull troops out of the Middle East, even trying to pull back from our stations in places like Germany, where we haven't needed a presence for quite some time. Along with the recent Israel-UAE peace negotiations obviously, that have of course happened since you wrote this comment. All in all I'd say he fell into the same traps as any other president, not following through on campaign promises, although at the same time I'd say he's actually done better than most in that department

[@christophergraves6725]

I have news for Pat, Nixon was no conservative as he sort of admits from time to time. Apparently, Pat liked and was loyal to Nixon personally. That's fine but one has to realize that being friendly with someone has zero to do with agreeing with their politics. Friendship on one hand and politics or religion or any other point of view on the other are separate issues.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

Nixon ses to have adopted many Conservative things like state's rights, welfare reform and more but fundamentally he was an Eisenhower Republican. He opposed the Liberal Court, was solid on most social issues but was liberal on race. On communism too he had great ideas.

[@christophergraves6725]

@@johnnotrealname8168 Nixon did not seek to destroy the Soviet Union. He saw the Soviets as the upcoming power and the best that we could do is to appease them and contain them. Consider the difference with Reagan who attacked Kissinger's foreign policy under Ford, which was the same as Nixon's. Nixon's court appointments were hardly conservative with the exception of Rehnquist. Nixon on constitutional matters was the same as he was on most and that is a moderate leaning to the Left but with some conservative instincts that he usually ignored in practice but gave some lip service to. In his pragmatism, Nixon embraced Keynesian economics along with price controls, not understanding the nature and cause of inflation being in excessive growth of the money supply as the Fed monetized the national debt. Nixon, harkening back to his Quaker roots, was more of a humanitarian, which is opposed to a principled approach to public policy. We can see this streak in Nixon coming out in his finding Reagan's firing of the air traffic controllers to be inhumane. We also see this leftist tendency in Nixon's fully funding the welfare state that LBJ instituted and started affirmative action with quotas.

If I could say anything to Pat Buchanan: "You have personally done more to divide this country than any other person was capable of doing. You wrote the words that Richard Nixon and Agnew spoke. You turned the country against protesters. You encouraged violence against people who marched and you were one of the reasons my friends were shot down at Kent State University." A horrible man who people say changed as he aged. But that does not forgive what he did to this country.
