Donald Trump's administration betrays the most sacred Republican principle. News at 11.
I'm not really an Objectivist (I back the core message but Rand obviously is too extreme) but at this stage I'm begging for Paul Ryan and his most extreme Randian economist buddies to basically coup the hell out of this sh**t. Anyway, they ditched Bush's Compassionate Conservatism literally days after Obama won so I'm confident they can purge Trumpism after Trump loses in a landslide. But until that day we'll have to live with this deplorable "conservatism".
Outside of a few individuals the Republicans haven't been "free market" in a long, long time. They'll preach it but will bailout and do whatever their donors in different sectors want. That's why we have locked in monopolies on cable/internet/energy companies in areas. Not allowed to have a solar panel on your house now hooked up to the grid, illegal to do other things, the war against net neutrality.
Personally I would love to see the government come in and absolutely nuke these entities to tiny pieces and actually let competition in.
