The rise of Donald Trump is threatening the power of neoconservatives, who find themselves at risk of being marginalized in the Republican Party.
Neoconservatism was at its height during the presidency of George W. Bush, helping to shape the rationale for the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
But now the ideology is under attack, with Trump systematically rejecting each of its core principles.
Whereas neoconservatism advocates spreading American ideals through the use of military force, Trump has made the case for nationalism and a smaller U.S. military footprint.
In what Trump calls an "America First" approach, he proposes rejecting alliances that don't work, trade deals that don’t deliver, and military interventionism that costs too much.
He has said he would get along with Russian President Vladimir Putin and sit down with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un — a throwback to the “realist” foreign policy of President Nixon.

I see a large group of illegals, potheads and Paultards all caused a Ferguson Zoo exhibit at Trumps last New Mexico rally.
The more libtards hate him... the more I like him.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

I saw that.
Ditto.
Paultards are like viruses--appearing to be part of the conservative organism, then striking from within without warning.
GO TRUMP!!!

You're an idiot.
Get over your obsession with blaming everything on potheads and "Paultards"

Gats, until Trump came along, YOU were a neo-con, you front runner.

Trump IS a neocon,and even that is giving him the benefit of the doubt because he has always been a life-long NYC Dim.
Just how blind can you cultists be?

American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.

Cut him some slack. If the discussion rises above that level he gets lost and can't remember who he is supposed to hate.

There's actually some kind of distinction between the two?
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
