Gulick:

If the US didn't feature a winner-take-all electoral system largely funded by Mr. Moneybags, I think this would be a winning presidential platform: populist anti-globalism which attacks "unpatriotic" TNC's for offshoring jobs, illegal immigration, and bought politicians who sell out the American middle class to Wall Street & China. Basically Pat Buchanan stripped of his cultural warrior mode.
